Saving a Few Clicks

Few persons who heavily use computers haven't had some ache or pain relating from that use, if not something more serious like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. An interesting software tool that reduces the stress on your hands and arms is Nib software.

Essentially, what this software does is the mouse clicking for you. You move your mouse to where you want it, and then instead of clicking the mouse, the software has a timer that will click it for you. The software can handle double clicks, right clicks, highlighting, and drag and drop too. According to their website, mouse clicking is a large part of the stress put on the arms and hands from computer use. Since the software dramatically reduces manual mouse clicks, stress on the arms and hands is thus reduced.

I am trying out the software, using the 30 day trial period. Even though it is pricey, I really do enjoy it and I think it may have some long term benefits since I am a heavy user.
