Xbox controller instead of a mouse (1 Viewer)

Have any of you done it? I'm a 3D designer and clicking the mouse all day is giving me loads of pain in one finger. So I'm looking for good alternatives and thought a games controller might do nicely.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Never tried it for design. can see it being a pain.

Cant you get a different shaped mouse thats more comfy?

It's the constant clicking that's doing the damage so I want to eliminate using that finger all together.

Something like that, then just program the thumb button to be the normal button.

They got them in Tesco? I'll pop up on the way to work if that's the case.

So I've bought one. It does feel a lot more comfortable.

I can't see how to change the function of the thumb buttons though?

Should be able to get some sort of mapping software so you can re-map the buttons.

Or if there are any drivers for it.
