+1 to mice being evil. I'm not convinced by ergonomic mice despite having used one for the past 4-5 years. They are less painful to use but I find they just hide the problem. Using any normal mouse these days becomes painful within a couple of hours for me.
Instead I use a Trackpoint basically all the time now. I have ThinkPads at home and a MacBook Pro with one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Travel-Keyboard-Trac... at work. The best features are less waving my arms around and a much more convenient location for note paper to live that doesn't require stretching or sliding things around when I need to write stuff.
Sadly (due to what I assume is a patent issue) there aren't very many hardware options for static pointing stick devices and they are all either ex-IBM hardware or current Lenovo hardware.
