the roller ball mouses. Mine would do that as well, but cleaning it would not help. I love my optical mouse!

I couldn't stand it with a
I had a good deal too, free rent, worked at home, vacations to where ever and whenever I wanted, limos and NYC every weekend, could pack up and go back to work at my mom's for 1 or 2 months at a time for my "family" fix. I just couldn't keep doing it. I packed up, came home and last week my GD turned as she walked from my front door to look at me and say, "Bye, Nammy! I Love You!" I got a better deal after all 
Agreed! I couldn't stand to make my living (sm)
facilitating the state of California's biggest growth industry. Not to mention the doctors' callous attitudes towards their patients and the things you would have to transcribe would make you ill. You do know our country has the greatest percentage of our population in jail of any country in the world?

put your mouse on the bar, hold down the left side of your mouse and move it back to the bottom, let
hope this works

Did the same thing just this month from the wireless optical Logitech to the trackball
I now keep my hands very much in their most natural anatomical position while rested on the keyboard and mouse (I do QA anyway). Fingers are no longer as tense as they used to be with my optical.
The Microsoft Wireless optical keyboard has greatly eased SM
The Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop 1000 keyboard (came packaged with wireless mouse at Staples), box says "standard keyboard + optical mouse) has greatly, greatly relieved symptoms on my elbows and wrists.
My elbows just stung before I got this keyboard. If I relax and kind of let it do what it wants, kind of get used to its touch, I really like it. It has greatly helped my elbow symptoms in particular.
Hi Amanda from WV (I once lived in Morgantown!). No drivers to download, has a USB optical device.

I bought a wedge at Michael's for about 59 cents. Bought one for my SM
Lanier station so I could see the display and one for my keyboard.
Keyboard and mouse. Is there such a thing as a keyboard that has a mouse on the actual keyboard?

DQS and using the mouse
You know, maybe the loss of lines is because with DQS you have to use the mouse so much. I took have noticed since I switched to DQS that my lines are down. With the last program I used, I hardly ever had to use my mouse.
Not using mouse with DQS?
Really? How do you do that? Like when you have to fill in demographics and go from screen to screen? Or in the body of the report to go from paragraph to paragraph? Tell, me, please..cause I sure would like to find a faster way as the mouse has slowed me down. Thanks for any info you can give me!
Mouse
I'm really technologically deprived, so forgive me. I was wondering if anyone knew the typical "life" of a mouse? I just replaced mine about 6-10 months ago, and it's starting to go out already. It's like the little ball thing (see my tech terms?) isn't working, and it's a pain to try to get the cursor to move. The one before I had for about 5 years, and before that, it was eons. Did I get a bad deal, or is this average? Thanks for any help! (I use it daily, working, if that helps determine the life expectancy!)
Same with me, I still use the mouse. SM
BTW, tell me how you do so many lines! I used to be a good producer back in the day when I did a lot of OP notes, but now I'm lucky to do 1500 lines in a day.

I don't have CT and I'm on straight transcription, but thanks to a recommendation here on the board I bought an Evoluent mouse and I can really feel a difference in my wrist when I use it. Maybe that would help you somewhat?????
Mouse gone.
Check your settings on your mouse. Go through the Control Panel, click on "mouse", click on the tab "Pointer Options", make sure the box that says "Hide pointer while typing" isn't checked.
Mouse
Glad it worked!
Use your mouse
Just use your mouse and keep clicking on the icon. If not, just reboot your machine. That sounds like a strange problem.
Best not to let other people mess with your work PC.
Mouse
I use the mouse that has the rollerball on it. I never have to move the whole mouse. I love it and will not use anything else. Cost about $30 I think. I have had it for 3 years now. You don't even need a mouse pad. I got it at Office Max. Also, when I type. I rest my hands on my pull out keyboard drawer and only move my finges. I have been typing over 20 years, and I have never had any wrist pain. Guess I am just lucky.

You can tell him a few things.
1. When God passed out the humility, he sure passed you by. (He sure is humble, isn't he?)
2. You should only talk to people about your religion if you are asked.
3. And God sent you here today to judge me.
4. Is that all your church does it collect money and tell you to judge people?

I can't stand it any more! :)
I have sat here in my little chair and quietly typed all day without a peep of protest. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, I can hear the river tide, and....and....and......I have to get outta here! Just for a few minutes, I'm going to go dip my toes, catch a couple rays of sunshine, and watch the kids play. Actually, I think I'm going to play with them!
Come on, guys, let's go play!

Try a lap stand.
I have an adjustable plastic lap stand made by Targus that I use. It keeps the laptop from burning in thighs and allows the air to circulate underneath the laptop to keep it cool. I think I bought it at Office Max.
BOS - what does this stand for
been seeing it for months and i have no clue what u are referring to.

I, for one, stand with you.

We need to stand up for ourselves
because we keep making less money. But how do we do that?
I never use my mouse with DQS unless I split a job

I tried a wireless mouse
It was too loosy goosy. The cursor was all over the place. I returned mine.
I need a "shelf" for my mouse.
to hook it up over my calculator pad on my keyboard. This would be probably metal or hard plastic. Had one at the hospital and so I know someone carries them; I just do not know what they are called.
I am the person with the tennis elbow-type symptoms. Thanks for the tip on track ball mouse. Picked up a Logitech model for 20.00 yesterday at Staples. They were on sale.
Thanks!
why use a mouse at all? It does nothing but slow you down.
I have one, a mouse shelf. I got it from one of those

mouse pedal
   Would that not be great.
This one seems to only do the mouse click
part, and doesn't let you move the mouse. It says you can use one pedal for the mouse click, one instead of the ALT key, and one for the CTRL key. So you would still have to take your hand off the keyboard to move the darned mouse. At least that's the way I read it.
Monitors and Mouse
I have two flat panel monitors side by side - connected to each other - one is a 21", the other a 19".. its like having one hugh gigantic TV screen - you can drag from one monitor to the other, you can have your email up and running on one, your work on one, etc......watching the work upload as you continue along your merry way. They are both from Dell, one is a Dell Brand, the other one is a Planar. I think its worth the investment, NO MORE GLARE and so easy on your eyes versus the big ole clunkers. and a 15" flat panel is exactly the same viewing as one of those big old 17-19" cluunkers that take up so much space.
Regarding wireless mouse/keyboard, i type non-stop almost 12 hours a day and I rarely have to replace the batteries - I use the Microsoft ergonomic wireless keyboard/mouse.
My poor mouse...
I'm surprised it's still going, as much as I use it out of frustration. I find myself grabbing it and patting it VERY HARD on the pad over and over and over again, all while saying something to the tune of, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"
Look at using a different keyboard and/or mouse. nm

Never use the mouse, only hot keys. nm
