   @swurl @lykanthrocide ah yeah, I heard people that are using the steam controller for mouse control and that would be pretty good as the joystick part is pretty much a trackpad

     @lykanthrocide @swurl I tried that with a joycon and it was miserable actually. a Joystick is a poor replacement for the mouse
     
     An IR pointer however? That could rule

     @swurl hurt my right hand/arm using the mouse (bad posture shit, I'm a dumbass). I got a beanbag mousepad for the couch now, it's better. I'm letting my right hand/arm rest
     
     Getting pretty used to using my left now

     @coolboymew@shitposter.world ah I see, I've always wondered about vertical mice for that sort of thing. I just have a wireless trackball that I put in my lap for that sort of thing

     @swurl I wouldn't be surprised if I put pressure on my hand from daily usage. I did not use my chair arms (they were up) on my work desk. I put them down, helping the pressure on my hurt arm. Ultimately I rarely had issues with the arm just due to mouse usage, I think, because I started early as a kid? 🤷
     
     Otherwise, I definitively hurt it because I was using the mouse on the couch on a side table and probably fucked around too much. Oddly enough, I was fine doing just that for a year or two, but I guess my arm got tired and I pushed it too much
     
     Now I have a beanbag mousepad for the couch, which should help prevent it from happening again

     After two weeks of using my left hand for the mouse, I'm getting pretty used to it
