Re: Input devices

I find holding a pen with a tablet to really hurt my hand after 4-5 hours. I also find the slight impreciseness with clicking and releasing to be a problem (especially in FCP where I almost always end up move a clip slight in the timeline when I try to select it).

There is a funky 3M ergonomic mouse that I used for a while and quite liked, I don't think I ever used it for editing, but it would probably be pretty good.

I think shuttle controllers are probably a waste of time. We're not cutting tape to tape here, how much mousing do you really do in getting around the clip? I know I don't do a lot.

I wonder if it wouldn't be worth getting a couple of different mice to swap beween during the day? Would probably help.
