Believe it or now but I laptop may be the way to go.

When updating orders in bulk I use my right hand to move the mouse, but my left had on the keyboard pressing the "mouse" buttons on the on-board option. Kind of distributing the amount of workload each hand has to perform.

It may not seem like much, but not having to press the mouse buttons on the same hand you move your mouse on really does reduce the strain. It also helps if you don't switch from keyboard to mouse. Updating orders doesn't require you to enter much if you setup your market screen to have quick link to your items.

If you're 0.01 ISKing your orders use the mouse wheel to adjust the price and "OK" click everything with your left handed mouse button on keyboard. This also reduces the incorrect order amount unless you scroll like a madman, and not pressing enter/moving your mouse over the "OK" button to confirm the order breaks up the chain enough you'll catch any incorrect prices.

It worked well for me, and I found it faster to update orders, reduced about 10-15 minutes off my order updates when I had about 250 items up for sale. The idea was reducing the amount of hand travel. My right hand never left the mouse, my left never left the keyboard and hardy ever moved.

TAB Key is important to tab out of enter boxes, I probably have a super off-hand pinky finger because that's my TAB finger Bear


Great response, i will give it a shot!
