Mouse recommendation

for most work the standard microsoft mouse works fine for everything I do. Dont underestimate the mousepad though. It makes a big difference.

You could also splurge for a gaming mouse and gaming mousepad, but im not sure if you need that kind of stuff for graphics work.

I think you're right. I have an aold pad, so I just put a piece of wax paper over it and the mouse works a lot better! I guess I'll look for a new pad.

Good move!!! Save it for a tablet.

I never seem to hear much on forums about my favorite mouse, the Evoluent Vertical Mouse- http://www.evoluent.com/

Conventional mice were really starting to give me wrist problems which this one completely cured. And it has five progammble buttons (the scroll wheel is also a button). I just love it and wonder why it's not more popular. They even have a left hand version, so if you were really nuts you could have two going at once with 10 programmable buttons.

Dam! I just visited the page of that vertical mouse, and my arm started to bother me!. My arm needs one of those!

Looks interesting.

This is an interesting gadget.
