    I'd vote for cordless optical mouse Well in fact there is such a model but you can change the batteries each day I think *g - buy just a optical mouse, will be the best.. Also the good old ball-mouses aren't that bad though.

    Optical... Never need to clean the ball on the mouse again! Or Tracker Balls they are great too!

    Optical. Get the Microsoft Intellimouse explorer (if you are right handed) Because it is a *VERY* good mouse. I love 'em. And for the record the Microsoft (as much i hate the company) also make a damn good Keyboard too. The Internet Keyboard. Mucho useful.
    Now, aren't you sorry you didn't just keep on scrolling?

    Personally I prefer the Ergonomic (I have probably spelt that wrong) Keyboard... That is the best M$ Keyboard... I have one... Bloody good.

    That's the one.

    It's so each of his personalities can type at the same time....

    They are actually very comfortable... Also helps to tackle RSI.

    RSI? Repetative Strain Injury?

    I have an A4 Wacom Tablet at home for my Mac... They are great for Graphic Design (using Photoshop etc).

    RSI because it is shaped how your hands naturally sit on a keyboard.

    Problem with ergonomic keyboards is that you have to be able to touch-type...us poor hunt-and-peck people have a bit of a hard time on them!
