Consider the RSI-prone gamer. I would like to have healthy hands and wrists in older age and still use the computer.

I did a bit of searching and found a bunch. Not major peripheral brands, but a fair few with programmable buttons, adjustable DPI, wireless or wired etc. No idea if any of them are actually good or not. I assume they aren't what you're looking for, but just in case..

Thanks for looking, but yeah these aren't quite what I'm looking for. They've got the gamer lights and buttons, but the sensors in these are all the same as super cheapo scam gaming mouses that you might see at the checkout at Canadian Tire or flooding Amazon, but they're generally pretty bad to use. Like they lose tracking or "drop frames" and just aren't as smooth to use as an actual nice gaming mouse.
