Since most of us are old white-haired cranks ... I have a bad wrist ... sit too much working at a computer and develop too much film (agitating by flipping cans over and then back). I've noticed that when I use the M2, with one long stroke, somewhere between half-way and all out, I get a sharp pain starting from my thumb moving up my arm. It's the same pain I get with Alt-Gr + 8 (something I have to do hundreds of times a day when I work with a Swedish keyboard). Don't have that trouble with M3 DS :) (Not with my M3 either, it seems the M2 has a longer arm). Oh well, trivia ... it's a Tuesday.
