They tend to have higher sensitivity, and so you move you wrist less, and therefore, less wrist strain at the end of the day. Many gaming mice also have additional buttons that can be hotkeyed to frequently used functions: forward and back, open new tab, etc.</p> <p>I use a Razer Lachesis, but that's a little excessive for some people and is in fact impossible for my family to use due to it's incredible touchiness.

I much prefer the track pad on my Macbook to any mouse ever and would buy an external for my desktop if I could find one. Two fingers is scroll up and down, three fingers is end and home scroll and two finger tap is right click (used for browser back). Simplicity is beautiful.</p> How about no mouse at all?
