3M Ergonomic Optical Compatible EM500GPS
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
I had some issues that I localized to my right index finger. I apparently click a lot. So my mouse was the main issue.
I did end up buying a MS ergonomic keyboard which I liked, but ultimately, a new mouse is what was the best solution for me.

(note it comes in large also). I tried a couple of other designs, but I liked the 3M one the best. It's weird at first, but works well. Thumb for left/right click. I also use the button that's on the stick for scrolling. It's sort of a grab and scroll motion, that works really well. I had to use a utility to implement it: http://www.marcmoini.com/sx_en.html
3M Ergonomic Mouse. Stuck with this after having pain with a mouse, a nipple, a stylus and a trackball. http://www.amazon.com/3M-Ergonomic-Optical-Compatible-EM500G...
Yep, I bought the 3M Ergonomic Mouse - it's not really a mouse, it's more like a joystick.

If you want to continue using a regular mouse, switch hands (it takes a bit of getting used to). Or buy a wrist guard that keeps your wrist straight. That helps a bit.
