I've got horrible carpal tunnel from 15 years of heavy mousing. Can someone recommend an ergonomic mouse that also offers a great deal of precision and control?

I've heard great things about http://www.evoluent.com/ VercitalMouse 2.

i investigated options for quite some time, settled on the kensington orbit optical trackball...

what i don't like about the vertical mouse is, you have to rotate your wrist every time you go back & forth to the keyboard...

a trackball, while not perfect, is a good alternative to a mouse...

I love my Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000 for precision and control... it really is much better than the "regular" optical mice. It's designed to fit either hand, so it should be ergonomic for you regardless of your handedness.
