Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of One Finger USB Mouse (Black)
Customer Review: Outstanding for its purpose
Summary: 5 Stars
The One Finger Mouse (actually a trackball) is designed for those who need a small, inexpensive and durable hand-held pointing device. If you have a poor quality, or no touchpad, it is a godsend.
I found mine to be easy to master, and wonderful for cramped situations where there is no desk space for a mouse, especially in a car or aircraft, or when luggage space is at a premium. In such circumstances it is better than a small wireless mouse, if for no other reason than the USB cable becomes an asset for retrieving a dropped device from under the seat!
Some reported difficulty with the grip, but with a little experimentation, I found that I could hold it firmly enough; it is more comfortable for some to use the second finger rather than the index finger to operate the trigger-like left-click button, which may bring the thumb in better alignment with the controls on the top. I don't think there is a "best" or "correct" grip. In fact, the ability to use different grips is an ergonomic advantage.
The trackball has one other very important asset in close quarters: it can be easily used in any orientation, in contrast to a mouse which is very difficult to use unless aligned squarely with the computer.
I had no difficulty operating the device, except that one has to put it down to touch type (one can continue to hold it while pecking simple entries). For serious typing I reluctantly defaulted to my inferior touch pad. I have since found that the Finger Mouse can be laid on its side on a desktop (on a non-slip surface like a mouse pad), and easily operated without picking it up in the course of prolonged typing. Now I use it in combination with the touchpad.
This trackball is GREAT for browsing. The left button invokes an omnidirectional scroll function.
Certainly a number of good suggestions for improvement have been made, which would result in a superior, but more expensive device. As there are no other satisfactory miniature, hand held trackballs on the market, and only one (expensive) desktop model to my knowledge, I think an improved Finger Mouse model could be successful. But don't hold your breath, get this one, it's plenty good enough!
For travel, the One Finger Mouse is a uniquely adequate and satisfactory solution. And if you lose this little gem, it's cheap to replace! I think I'll buy a spare.
The spare arrived boxed and named the Off-Table Track Mouse, available in PS2 or USB versions; compatibility with Vista is not stated.
It's a 5 Star in its price range and against anything else!
Description of One Finger USB Mouse (Black)
Try the 3D space mouse... no table top required! It fits easily into either your right or left hand and doesn't need to be contained to a mouse pad. Never hunt for "mouse space" again! It's a great alternative to standard mice or trackballs. The ergonomic design of this 3-button mouse/trackball combinations is ideal for home, office, or the mobile traveler. A perfect "hands free" computer control device for multimedia presentations!Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
