My mouse is small.. Is there any good mouse for programmer? Now, so painful when typing!! But my boss let me work to make log data file.. :(
I recommend the Evoluent VerticalMouse[^] and if that is too whacky, the Microsoft Natural Mouse[^] I find amazing.

That's a good start... :-D My first programming assignment was to port old programs written in BASIC from an obsolete HP minicomputer to a newer - now also obsolete - HP computer, using a new language and operating system. After months of fighting with spaghetti code, GOTO statements that went nowhere, and arbitrary, undefined numeric constants in DATA statements, I complained to my boss that the programmer who wrote this crap should be shot! He hung his head and admitted that the programs I was porting were his own, then gave me a raise and a promotion to team leader as punishment. I was forced to spend the next 4 years supervising 8 other engineers pretending to be programmers; it was cruel! You're just starting out, and it's very important to get into the habit of using equipment that matches your body's needs. Using a mouse, or a keyboard should not be painful! If you're very new to this, and working really long days, it might hurt for a while, as will any new activity. But if you're working a normal shift, with reasonable break periods, you should not be experiencing this kind of pain. If you allow it to continue, you will very quickly find yourself crippled and unable to work in your profession at all - don't let that happen! The US military has for decades studied ergonomic design, since fatigue is a major factor in readiness for defense forces. See this document[^] for guidance in setting up your workstation. MIL-STD-1472 (several revisions exist) is a handbook for proper workstation design, and it's a public document. Many factors can contribute to pain from using a mouse or a keyboard, including the height of your chair, the arm rests, and the desk height. For mousing around, I use a Logitech M

I use upside downies - this is my current: http://www.atpm.com/11.12/trackman.shtml[^] They take a day or so to get used to, but after that it is difficult to go back!
Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water

Agree 100%. I was just starting to develop RSI-like symptoms before moving to one of these and like Griff I wouldn't go back. Andy B
