I have been experiencing a massive amount of pain in my wrist and my shoulder and I feel like I really need to figure out a new solution for editing audio for days on end without going numb!

I've tried a Logitech track ball mouse (on thumb) and it was great for my wrist, but really slowed down my editing.

I am currently trying to use a pen tablet. Which is ok. I still strain and tense my shoulders and my hands. It's handy because I have programmed the 4 buttons on the tablet to be play/pause, back, forward, and the pen clicks to be control and double click. So far it makes working easy, but not as fast as a mouse.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a good solution for either a mouse alternative, or a mouse that is ergonomic and has programable buttons.

I have been looking at a few items.

Vertical Mouse
3D Connexion Space Pilot ( I don't know if I can use it as a mouse, but it might be good for navagation)
touch pad - though after some reading I see it can be pretty bad for you Carpal Tunnel

Obviously I could start editing with my keyboard in combination with a console, but isn't always an option.
