Some experts believe that using any mouse or trackball may cause serious injury to hands, wrists, arms, neck, or back. If you feel pain, numbness, or weakness in these areas, please consult a qualified health professional immediately.

To reduce the risk of injury, please follow these precautions:
Take frequent breaks, get up and walk around several times every hour.
- Vary your tasks throughout the day.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed with your elbows at your side. Position your keyboard and mouse so you do not have to reach.
