I've been using Apple's Magic Mouse since they came out. There are no buttons on the side like Logictec. The only thumb use is in guiding it across the mouse pad. It's extremely accurate, programmable, and allows for two finger swipes across the top to switch between web pages.
There are two AA batteries to deal with, but I use rechargeable Eneloops so I'm OK with that. |

So again, to make a selection, you touch the tablet with the pointer (on the screen) where you want, drag the tip wherever you want (up, down, right, left) and lift it up. Whatever is the area you covered with the tip is the area you select. Be it text or a graphical area (like, say, a range of a recorded track). Because there is no button pushing, just taps of the pen tip, I find I can activate menus, dropdowns, icon buttons so much faster. Wacom was about the only game in town when I got my first pen tablet 20+ years ago. The non-Wacoms are fine. Unless you are a serious serious graphics artist you do not need a Wacom. The only comment I can make regarding other brands is make SURE you grasp the tablet area size. Some of the cheaper ones are pretty small and they are for me a wee bit difficult for that. I am about to tap Submit Reply with a 3 3/4" x 6" tablet pen. Do not go smaller that that. Oh and the rear end of the pen is normally set to act as an eraser.

While not a product recommendation, I have had problems in the past with issues in the tendons on my forearm when using my mouse continually. What I learned to do was switch from my right to left hand periodically, this rested my other arm and now I don’t have the same issues. For yourself, you could use your other hand and there are settings for your mouse that will switch your buttons around if you find it difficult. On a side note this helps with dexterity of my other hand as I was a strict RH person.

Thanks fumei.

Interesting you don't have to press the pen on the tablet at all to scroll. The pen is communicating with the tablet wirelessly, like through wifi? When I want to pick up a guitar or use the keyboard, I'll need to put down the pen. Does it roll around when you put it down? The mouse, of course, stays where I put it.
