Customer Review: Excellent mouse, better than MS Natural
Summary: 5 Stars
I have wrist pains due to RSI and used a MS Natural mouse at work for about 1 1/2 years but wanted to try something different. After using this mouse for a few months I can tell that it is a much more natural wrist position that doesn't require as much small muscle tension to use. It forces you to use the larger muscles in your arms and forearms to operate it. It seems like it would be awkward to use looking at it, but I was used to it in a matter of hours. The buttons are also very easy to operate. I would highly recommend it to anyone with wrist and hand issues.Customer Review: Poor durability
Summary: 1 Stars
I liked this product, but the top thumb button stopped working within 3 months. It will start double-clicking with increasing frequency anytime you single-click until you get fed up with it.
And it isn't un uncommon problem. I purchased this mouse on recommendation from a fellow co-worker who had just purchased it and told me that it helped keep his wrists relaxed. After I threw mine away for the annoying double-click problem my co-worker sympathized with me and complained about the same problem that was just starting to rear its ugly head on his mouse.
Customer Review: wonderful for tennis elbow
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried many input devices, before being recommended this mouse by physical therapist. If you are having tendon issues in wrist and elbow this will be a big help in getting back to work without going tingly/numb again. The thumb button is very easy to use and the rest of the mouse is moved by upper arm/shoulder. You can wear a splint to make sure you don't bend your wrist if needed.
Seems a lot more user friendly than the quillmouse.
It installed itself without a hitch in xp and depending on the mouse pad you use doesn't skip around at all.
Customer Review: Pricey but worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse helped resolve my wrist pain. I hurt my wrist bowling but it just would not get better. It seemed that the rotation of the hand and wrist to use a conventional mouse - thumb down, hand counter-clockwise - kept irritating the tendons (or whatever... I'm no doctor). I got this mouse and a keyboard with some curve in it. I really think it was instrumental it getting rid of my pain. I continue to use it. It takes a bit of time to get used to it but a day or two was about all it took. It is a little hard for fine work but most common mousing it is fine.Customer Review: A better mouse than conventional mouse
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using mouse for work, 8 hours a day 5 days a week for the last many years. I was looking for a product that could make my wrists feel more comfortable. This veritcal mouse lets me keep my wrist in a comfortable position while using the mouse. This mouse causes significantly less stress to my wrist and fingers than a conventional mouse. I brought the large size, but I wish if there was an extra large size.
At first, it took a few hours to get accustomed to it but after that I have been very comfortable with it.
