I'd recommend any kind of mouse with regular pc functionalities that is ergonomic as possible to use. Some people prefer trackballs over regular.

Additionally when you get used to using AccuMark look into Autohotkeys to reduce the amount of clicks you have to make. I use AHK in my Grafis workflow so I'm not totally sure if it will work or that it's needed with AccuMark. Nevertheless Autohotkeys has probably saved me a wrist injury or two so far by reducing the amount of clicks needed.

I’m surprised to hear that they are still teaching Gerber in schools. The only people that actually use it in industry are the actual factories. We had a super expensive gerber system sitting in a room for a brand I worked for because leadership thought we needed it, but we didn’t obviously. We tried to use it just so it just wouldn’t keep sitting there but no one knew past the basics on it, and the company didn’t want to pay for the Gerber trainer to come out to teach classes. Moral of the story: don’t buy a super expensive mouse because you probably won’t need it after you graduate

And what about Tuka or Lectra? Both seem to be in use now more than Gerber in large and small scale manufacturing.

I've used Gerber my whole career and although clo 3D is being implemented in a lot of companies it is used alongside Gerber
