For what it's worth, I'd strongly recommend everyone try using a trackpad instead of a mouse with its advantage being less space it requires for operation. When using a mouse you constantly have to slide your arm around within an imaginary square on the desk surface and regularly lift the mouse to relocate your arm from the edge of the square back to its center. While with a trackpad you arm just rests and a single finger is all you need to do all the work. It's at least more quiet and you don't have to move you arm too far away from the keyboard when you need to use it.
