Hmm, I guess we're still vaguely on-topic :-)

Myself, I switched to trackball in the late 90s and I use left or right
hand.  I think it depends a lot on what you do - if it involves a lot
of work with the mouse, my wrist often hurts after a long day.  I've
never had that with the trackball.

I'm no big fan either, but in the situations where I use the laptop, I
usually don't want to faff with the mouse or I don't have the space for
one, e.g. working whilst riding a train.  A necessary (small) evil.
