TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In all the discussion of this topic, I haven't seen anyone mention
playing with your mouse settings (my apologies if I just missed it).
If you have a Microsoft mouse, you should have the Intellipoint software
installed (I'm sure Logitech has a similar application). Look for
something like "Microsoft Mouse" in your program menu, or go to Control
Panel > Mouse.
In my version of Intellipoint (4.10), the settings that might help are
pointer speed, double-click speed, orientation (are you holding your
hand at a different angle?), and "enhanced pointer precision." IIRC, I
used to have a version with even more adjustments -- but scrolling in FM
didn't work. :-(
Anyway, some experimenting with whatever adjustments you have available
might help.
