Default Sears, I'll miss the tools

years since I saw one with real 'Microswitch' switches.


I don't know if they are real microswitches, but the best mouse I ever
found was the early Logitech Mouseman, the asymetric 3 button ones. I
was a CAD designer and had one in my hand for 8-10 hrs day and they
didn't give me grief. The lightest button switches I've ever used. I
still have half a dozen.

I tried several trackballs, but they all started paining me after
awhile. I now also have a Microsoft optical trackball with the
jawbreaker sized ball on the thumb side of the mouse. Never had to
spend hours a day with it, but it might have been ergonomically OK
back when I worked. Also very light buttons.
