Depends on one's needs. Personally, on a job, I have nothing better to do
with both of my hands than use them for the work. Perhaps you need to keep
one spare for something else?
Say more as to what you imagine would be the problem? I find my Apple Pro
USB mouse very precise and easy to use in graphic programs.
On a mac at least, one can modify the action of the mouse in various ways. I
have mentioned the time based contextual menu that pops up next to the
arrow. There are also modifier keys, pressing command on the keyboard allows
scrolling by simply moving the mouse up and down (a hand appears as in
Illustrator for positioning the canvas...). And so on... It is a different
way of doing things using the features that already exist and are quite - er
um... - handy like the keyboard.
Each to his own of course but it suits me because too much mouse work gives
me problems with my hands, wrists, tendons ... the less and simpler to do
with a mouse the better...
