Dear Tellywelly,

I have Parkinson's and bad arthritis in my hands. I do not have the finesse of touch and strength or speed of movement that I used to. Many times the click is not recorded for an answer, or the wrong answer inadvertently clicked. I use a Logitech wireless Performance Laser mouse. Any suggestions to improve my playing are greatfully appreciated.

And a very Merry Christmas.

Lizzie

Using a trackball could be the answer. They are generally quite a bit larger than a mouse. The device itself remains stationary and the cursor is moved by way of a large ball. There are buttons on the casing for selecting items and right-clicking. By typing 'trackball' into a search engine, you will be able to see a range of them.

I have used the TrackBall for years. I had one, that had the ball at my middle finger. I liked it, but I got another, that has the ball at my thumb. Wonderful invention! The mouse stays in one place, and you move the cursor with the ball. Perfect! Good luck.
