PC Mag checks out alt input devices

We're big fans of alternative input devices — or at least we like trying them out (we keep coming back to our trusty optical mouse). If you're looking for something to help you with repetitive stress injuries, or want to check out the latest pointers, PC Magazine has a review up that includes the ART Zero Tension mouse, which gives your biceps a workout while keeping your wrist stationary; and the Salient V-Mouse (pictured), a pen-shaped pointer that could come in handy if you don't have room for a tablet and like the feel of a pen — though for heavy typing punctuated by regular pointing, it looks like an incredibly uncomfortable way to work.
