computer mouse and painful cold hand-need product suggestions

dpestun
What computer mouse do you use?
 I have an Emachines desktop computer with a Logitech Track Man Wheel mouse.  It's a wired ball type mouse.  I had a different brand before and it was just as bad..don't recall the brand.  Within minutes of resting my hand on it I feel skin burning and my hand goes freezing cold.  I try my best to click and remove my hand, but after 10 minutes or so it becomes so uncomfortable that I have to take a break.  I've gotten a more tolerable monitor, but the mouse still is hurting me.  I need solutions and suggestions.  The mouse sits just above the tower also..it can't be moved much.  Are there mouse pads that deter EMF or better yet shielded gloves I could wear???  Also, are there better keyboards as far as EMF?  Brand names would be great!  Thanks!

It may not be the mouse that's the problem -- it may be the computer that
is feeding a polluted signal into the mouse.  I have found that the exact
same mouse give no symptoms when plugged into one computer, but bad symptoms
when plugged into another.

That said, I'm currently using Microsoft wired, ball-mouses using a PS/2
port (this is 10-year old technology, at least!).  

One could try to reduce the pollution from the computer to the mouse by
using a filtered power strip, or add ferrites to the mouse cord, or try
an alternate mouse port (USB vs. PS/2) possibly with an adapter.  I
suppose an extreme case would be to add a PCI card to a computer that
has an extra mouse port.

There are also grounded mouse/keyboard pads (see Earthing.com)...

The mice do have processors in them, and you may be reacting
to them (note if there is a different sound on the radio near
the mouse compared to the keyboard or other USB devices).

Richard Conrad (conradbiologic.com) has told me the perfect
solution.  I have not built it yet, but it looks easy enough.
Take 2 identical mechanical mice, and 4 or 6 strands (6 for
a wheel mouse) of fiber-optic fiber.  Most mechanical mice use
an optical system to track movement of wheels connected to the
ball.  You glue a fiber to the front of the transmitter and the
other end points at the wheel in the other mouse.  Then
another fiber intercepts the light from that receiver and passes
it to the receiver on the first mouse.  So the second mouse has
no wires going to it, just fiber optic.  Thats the mouse you hold.
The other one you plug into the computer.  I'm not sure how
how he did the buttons...

Search ebay on Dell ball-corded mouse.  It's not optical or wireless so it has pretty low EMF.
