What sort of mouse have you been using? Mine is optical (Micro
brand, about
$10 from Walmart) and I haven't had any problems with my hand, wrist
or arm
using it - although my index finger gets tired sometimes!

My old optical mouse is easy on the hands. But I've got a new vice.
Our satellite TV offers a game channel where there are numerous games
like free cell and Sudoku you can play using your remote control. Got
a blister on the inside of my index finger from overuse of the remote.
