Scrolling Solutions?
Apr. 25th, 2014 09:27 pmAs I’ve mentioned, I’m clumsy, and I’m suffering from hand and arm injuries. I’ve ordered a new computer which should be a bit more accessible than my old one, and shouldn’t fall apart. I’m sometimes going to hook up a seperate keyboard and mouse because that usually offers better ergonomics than using a built-in keyboard and touchpad. But there’s one big problem: scrolling.
I’m too clumsy to be able to click on narrow scrollbars. I’ve messed about with Linux fixes for wider scrollbars. I’m annoyed that it can be so hard to set up wider scrollbars. I’d like to be able to scroll up and down, and possibly also side to side, without having to click on any scrollbars though.
At this point, the usual fixes are touchpad gestures, which are hard on clumsy people, and scroll wheels, which are hard on bio-organic people with pain and weak bio-organic tendons.
I’m wondering if anyone can suggest a good ergonomic mouse that is comfortable, that allows decent point control for clumsy people, and that allows scrolling without using pain wheels. Any ideas?
