Even if you disable seeing it, Google still uses your search query as AI training and processes your results that way. If you don't want to use AI you need to stop using Google, and all Google services.

    Use a trackball instead of a mouse. I had wrist pain too until I started using a trackball.

    I like the Logitech MX Ergo.

    Nah, the left hand. Just randomly woke up with it, and now my wrist hurts when bending forward :(

    As for my preffered pointing device, that would be a TrackPoint. I even disabled the touchpad.

    You probably just slept on it funny. Alternate ice and heat on it a few times a day and you should be fine.

    You might be the first person I've met who prefers a trackpoint. Good for you!

    I'd describe it as extension of your finger once you get used to it.

    We've had ThinkPads in high school, and since then I wanted to use no other pointing device, aside from touchscreen if you consider that to be one.

    But I don't play games.

    See a doctor if you can afford it. I had bad carpal tunnel syndrome and went through therapy. I thought it returned but I actually had a bulging disc in my neck. Different PT and a few changes have helped greatly
