Hey all!
I'm looking for a program to tracks the distance my mouse pointer travels on the screen and mouse click statistics.
Any suggestions plz?

Need it for my research in orthopedic surgeon job duties. These guys use computer a lot and I need a tool to obtain some data. Doing research for my college.

Thanks in advance! :)

Welcome.
As your posts status indicates that you are new,
I believe an answer is somewhat justifiable.

AutoHotkey can be used to track your mouse coordinates,
clicks, return data on mouse actions and even distinguish between the type of mouse your using.
The output of these actions can then be written to a file type of your choice,
posted to a website or distributed over a network in the many different formats.

The scripting language is not too hard to understand,
and for this task should be fairly simple.
There is also a myriad of pre-written Scripts and Functions that you can search and use in your script.
If you run into problems, there's an active support forum,
and an IRC chat room ( for live support ),
where you can post queries about your script.
One of the many knowledgeable AHKr's would be happy to help you out.

If you haven't already,
I suggest downloading AutoHotkey and giving it a try.
The possibilities are endless.

Looking forward to seeing you around the forum.
