"Good ergonomy but limited function" on by Daniel Fullum
Pros: Ideal wrist position, clicking with thumb,
Cons: Click bouncing, No fancy left with right click
Summary: I like this mouse for the ideal position of the wrist. All four fingers can rest on the slight incline of the stick. No more problems with involuntary fingers twitching after long hours working with the mouse.
The most anoying problem is click bouncing, giving you two clicks (not a double click)! It is worst when you click gently: I would suspect poor elctical contacts.
The other problem is the tuggle thumb switch. You cannot do any fancy right click while draging like many design software require. -
"Perfect for high use without pain" on by wonkylegs
Pros: supports wrist and uses your strongest joint to click (thumb)
doesn't have lots of bells and whistles but has everything necessary for a high end CAD userCons: takes some getting used to
you must get the right sizeSummary: I have arthritis all over but in particular my hands, wrists and elbows and I am also a CAD user two things that aren't really compatible thanks to the huge amount of mouse clicking involved. However after over 10 years of using this and its trackball predecessor I can happily recommend this. It takes some getting used to but once you've had it a while it becomes second nature. With a regular mouse I get serious pain after an hour but this isn't a problem with this mouse.
Its doesn't have loads of extras and isn't actually that sophisticated as mice go but it does all i need it to do so I can't complain. -
"Good mouse that avoids RSI problems" on by geethachakra
Pros: Avoids RSI problems, carpal tunnel and Cervical syndromes, by controlling hand and wrist motion.
Easy to use.
works fine for 2 years.Cons: Thumb click awareness required, to keep it straight.
Middle button is not that useful.
Plastic bottom makes noise.Summary: Avoids RSI problems, carpal tunnel and Cervical syndromes, by controlling hand and wrist motion.
Easy to use.
works fine for 2 years.
Cursor jumps sometimes, you have to have smooth mouse pad for better movement.
Inside mouse iron plates can be removed to make it light weight. -
"Other Options" on by kenneth0624
Pros: I don't see any.
Cons: Easier and better option available.
Summary: I have severe debilitating arthritis in my right shoulder. For years, I have been using a Logitech Trackman Wheel trackball (Logitech P/N 904353-0403 904353-0403, about $30). My hand NEVER moves; the thumb controls the ball and the fingers rest on the buttons. An added advantage is that no matter where the cursor is, you never have to lift up the mouse; simply rotating the ball will bring it from one edge of the screen to the other (you can also set a [Ctrl] function to find the pointer). I especially like the ballistic effects (slow movements are precise, fast movements are gross).
