A couple of years ago I became ambidextrous, at least when it comes to using my mouse. That’s right. After what had become almost unbearable pain in my fingers, wrist and eventually elbow, I was able to successfully switch from being a righty to using my mouse with my left hand.
Apparently, hand pain from holding and clicking a mouse is a widespread phenomenon.
The old switcheroo, my personal route, probably offers the most immediate success. It takes a little getting used to, but not as long as you’d expect. A couple of weeks max should do the trick.
Other suggestions include the three fingered click, which relieves pressure from the tendon. Simply put your three middle fingers together and click.
You can also try draping the palm of your hand on top of the mouse and using the side of your hand to click.
If you have any other ideas, please feel free to share!

There is a new ergonomic mouse doesn't need the finger clicking. You click with your whole hand instead of weak fingers. You can find more information from www.rockstickmouse.com
