No, not Mickey ๐Ÿ˜‰

Need a new USB mouse and want a bigger one as my hand gets a bit crampy on the one I have now

No gaming, no intricate design/arty stuff so cheapish would suit nicely
2 buttons and a wheel is minimum requirement

Or ... is there such a thing as a USB trackpad (like on a laptop) ? ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Thanking you all for your time, patience and kind words

Hi Scaredypants,

Apple do a trackpad (bluetooth). They're pretty nifty.

Track pads, tablets & pens, roller balls all out there. Try a proper office shop.

Look up 'vertical mouse'. Your wrist ends up being at a better angle (for me anyway) and they tend to be a bit larger.

Edit: Also try using your whole arm to move the mouse around rather than just flicking it around from the wrist. I was getting the forearm cramp thing and this seems to have made the biggest difference, at least when I remember.

sounds like you have carpel tunnel problems. You might need a wrist support.

This is what you really want: https://leapmotion.com/
