>> Don't use a 'moving mouse'. Apple magic trackpad is great. Trackballs are great as well.

I have used Apple Magic trackpad for almost an year and I started having severe discomfort when I my middle and ring finger are stretched. I was not resting my palm properly and that probably contributed to the issue. I switched to an evoluent mouse (http://www.amazon.com/Evoluent-VerticalMouse-Regular-Right-V...) and it got better very fast (in couple of weeks).

Is the reasoning behind avoidance of the 'moving mouse' simply because you move your wrist a lot when mousing? I find that with the dpi cranked way up on my mouse it takes considerably less motion to click on things than with a trackpad. Moving my mouse all the way across a 1080p screen is essentially a finger twitch. I've tried the vertical mice before too, but they definitely take some getting used to.
