This is turning into HantsLug Old Crocks Division ;-)

as a wrist rest

Internet Wars have been fought over wrist rests.... some folk seem to
think they are Bad. I had one of those slidey gel ones built into a
mouse-mat frame which worked quite nicely till it broke.

I get that too (increasingly frequently..) but had not attributed it
to computer use - just put it down to circulation & temperature.

Got a Logitech Marble this year when I doubled up the systems on my
desktop (and no I don't want a KVM switch ;-) mainly because of its
small operational footprint; actually been quite happy with it though
I would like to be able to adjust its sensitivity.
