Is using AutoClick better than switching to an ergonomic mouse or a different kind of pointing device?
Many RSI sufferers will try various ergonomic mice as well as alternatives to mice. Some people also try switching their mousing hand from right to left or left to right. Some solutions may be better than a standard mouse while others simply postpone pain by distributing the strain to different areas of your hands and arms. RSIGuard’s AutoClick feature, however, largely eliminates the need to click the mouse which is the source of most mouse-related pain. Furthermore, because you no longer need to grip the mouse, an ergonomic mouse may no longer even be necessary. AutoClick does not eliminate the need to move the mouse to point at things, so if you find a particular pointing device to be helpful for moving the mouse around, it makes sense to use that device in conjunction with AutoClick.
