Input Devices
How do you best interact with your computer? Do you shun your keyboard like me? Are you a designer who'd do anything rather than give up your drawing tablet? Are you a keyboard master, able to reach the most absurd of shortcut key combinations? Do you talk to your computer?

Everything works great and I finally finished...
Since I have some sort of RSS/carpal tunnel problems I hate all input devices. When someone invents the brain mouse I’ll be happy. For now I am mostly using the 3M Renaissance mouse, which pivots on the elbow and not the wrist. It is slower and less precise, but doesn’t numb my fingers!
I still revert to a regular mouse to do precise Photoshop work. I have also found that I can mouse with my left hand for most tasks. Dragon Naturally speaking helps reduce the amount of typing I have to do, but is a pain since I have to go back to make corrections and add punctuation.
Good luck with your computer career, cause mine is a “pain!” I’ll let you know how the brain mouse works as soon as someone invents one!
Hey Zachary, I’m with you on the “BrainMouse” thing. Eye tracking combined with voice recognition and some sort of click device is probably the best we can do for now. I wonder why that hasn’t happened yet.
@Zachary, since you seem interested in other poll results, I thought I’d point out that the “Keyboard” category in this poll seems to have experienced a recent increase as the poll has dropped further down on the front page. Maybe keyboard pros are more in-depth readers as well. Just an off-the-cuff observation that’s probably wrong.
