anybody use apples magic trackpad? the regular mouse is killing me when doing tons of work in lightroom and photoshop and I was wondering if the trackpad would be better. or perhaps there are other, better options?

Well, I do use a Magic Trackpad on all my Mac desktop computers. I find it much more relaxing than using a mouse, even the larger "ergonomic" ones, plus the "gestures" available in the Lion OS are a real benefit. I have read that others like having a Wacom digitizing pad, which I assume they put the menu selections on for convenience. You will probably find any new device takes a bit of time to become accustomed to, so if you try one out, don't become discouraged too quickly.

But yes ... I do like the Magic Trackpad!

Might take a look at a trackball as well. You don't have to move your hand all over the place like a mouse or touchpad.

hmm, that's an interesting idea as well

I'm most interested in cutting down the amount of hand/wrist movement & repetitive movements

can you easily move around a very large monitor with, say, one flick of a trackball?
