Computer access by mouse (pointing , clicking ) gets hard

I'am a multimedia student so i'am using the computer about 10 hours a day at lest , i don't use the laptop keyboard for typing ,but with mouse i could typing using "on screen keyboard" in windows.

some time even the pressing on the mouse click gets hard especially in winter as a result of cold in my fingers , Iam asking if any one using another devices instead of the mouse ,i see so much devices on the rahap. websites but i can not figure out what wold works in my specific mobility condition .

Wondering if a 'speech to text' (voice recognition) software would help? I have no experience with this for my son who is just 14, but it was suggested as an idea for future use.

I hope you are able to find a reasonable solution Ameer. Good luck!

Voice recognition is not so good for Arabic language that it my fist language ,If you interested , you can see this website of several Technics for pointing and switches in the US http://www.rehabmart.com/category/Pediatric_Assistive_Technology_Sw...

Try and Desk electric heater to keep fingers warm. And try a gaming mouse like a Razer they let you adjust mouse sensitive and I think buttons are easier to press.

Ameer,

I'm not sure if you read slashdot or not, but there was a story on there just recently about Samsung and some eye mouse products they're working on. The article and the comments might give you some options:
