And that's because I kindly ask DT to improve this.
Also my right hand is probably less accurate than 10 years ago, using the mouse, and I feel a bit dumb expanding the windows |
I moved to a Kensington Trackball about the time I started IL2.
The Carpal tunnel thing I fixed real well. I started flying IL2 with left hand on trackball. It didn't take anytime to get real good with the left hand. It was a bit awkward at first.
Now when my wrist starts to pain a bit I switch hands. I still have to do IL2 with left only, but I think nothing of doing any of my regular computer work with either hand on the trackball.
I like trackball, because I can move the ball with my fingers. I don't have to move my arm. The trackball keeps my wrist from getting involved and aggravating wrist nerves and joints. I have a newer model of the trackball with a rubber pad where I place the base of my palm. I just wiggle my fingers around on the trackball and barely move my wrist.
Great for registration or precise movement as well. I can use in CAD, to real advantage.
