looks good to me, it would kinda be like using a tablet, only more ergo :)

hand position i mean

it is more of a relaxed position.....better for the fight against carpal!

Hmm... looks interesting! I'll have to give it a test run.:D

[heavyness]

i would thing this would hurt more...

if i'm sitting at a table, relaxed, my hand would be palm down, not upright [like how it shows], try it yourself.

but to use this mouse, you still would have to move your wrist the same way as using a regular mouse. the problem is not the mouse angle, but the fact people don't use there whole are to move the mouse, something an Ergo Rest solves...

i have been using one since 2000 and had 0 pain or "tinggly" feeling in my wrist/arm. just my thought

After having trouble with my arm and hand I gave a trackball a try, but this didn't work well for me ... maybe that funny mice.

A couple of guys on my team use this (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,67176,00.asp) from 3M. It is the same idea, but it is more of a joystick shape. It doesn't move like a joystick; you have to move your whole arm.

It has L/R mouse buttons on the thumb and MMB on the front of the stick. I liked it but it's hard to be precise with your whole arm, instead of your fingers/wrist.

That's a little too phallic for me. If you going to grip it, you might as use the real thing and enjoy it. :scream: :eek: :surprised

I recieved evoluent ergo-mouse today.

Getting used to it takes 10 minutes after that its no different than using a regular mouse minus the wriststrain.

I highly recommend it to those who have wrist pains.

Mouse like this one from logitech never convinced me, but well, let's give it a try !

Anyway :
"The Evoluent™ VerticalMouse™ has a patented
new shape that supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position, and eliminates the arm twisting required by ordinary mice. It is a major advance in mouse evolution! "
(quoted from their page)

Patents is definitely the new way of life. That sux ...

Button 3 looks kind of awkward to reach. Is it?
Are you using button 5 as a browser-back button?
Which fingers are on which buttons?
