Which Is Better For Your Wrist??

Which is better for your wrist mouse pad with wrist pad or a Logitech track ball mouse?? Mouse pad is much cheaper.

I definitely had some wrist issues that were alleviated when I got a mouse pad with a gel wrist support. Still have them but it definitely helped.

I will say that you overall seating position and arm position have as much of an impact as your wrist placement though. I try and keep my elbow at least level if not slightly above my wrist.

I got mouse pad with wrist pad been using it for like 90 min so far it is still putting a little strain on my wrist maybe it will go way after 2 to 3 more days of use.

What kind of track ball mouse?

They're novelty at first but good luck doing things like gaming. I always liked the giant kensington expert mouse ones, might have to dig one out of the garage.

Wrist wise it doesn't make a huge difference at least that I've noticed. Some people completely swear by the trackball though.

I will just use my Xbox 360 controller as a mouse no strain on my wrist.

Yes it is, take breaks every 20 minutes to motorboat your mouse pad.
