Anyone have computer mouse recommedations?

My client plays online Bridge but has a lot of difficulty positioning and clicking his track ball mouse. Hoping to find one specially designed for PwP that’s not too expensive- my web search was underwhelming!

This is what I used when still working. But, I am right handed and my PD started on my right side so I used it with my left hand but I don't believe I changed it to be a left handed mouse in the settings. It took me about 3 days to get used to it. At first, I hated but I ended up loving it. Good luck! ,🥊

Many thanks! We’ll give it a try.

As soon as I read the OP I thought I'd have to suggest my mouse, and then I saw that you already had! I don't have PD, started using this when I was diagnosed with RSI 22 years ago and I tried loads with work assessment (it wasn't RSI it was small fibre neuropathy with other stuff, but hey). Use it every day and hope I'll never have to change. Best wishes

Wow, thanks! AbilityNet looks like a great resource. Love being part of this community, what a joy knowing we’re not blindly muddling through alone.

Absolutely agree - I've learned so much and met so many great people.

You could try AbilityNet. They did an assessment for me many years ago for work and I could try all sorts of options abilitynet.org.uk/. As you see, I ended up with the fabulous Logitech. Hope you can find a solution.

Thanks, I’ll look into steady mouse- great name!

Looks like terrific software but doesn’t yet work for Mac computers- they’re working on it though so hopefully soon. Thanks

I have had great success with the Logitech m-r0065 trackball mouse. It is designed to stay steady and it has a precision movement button that is helpful when you are shaky. I have used it daily for over 2 years. amazon.com/Logitech-Ergo-Wi...
