Customer Review: Great change for me to the new 3M mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is surprisingly not known very much. I just saw a couple people using it and ask them. They all said you have to get it if you do a considerable amount of work on a PC. I would think it would help anyone with hand, wrist, arm or even shoulder issues. My arm would just get fatigued quicker than I thought it should. I wanted to try something new and it has worked out great. I think I've had it for 2-3 months now and its just great. Takes some getting used to but after you get through that, you're on your way to relaxation. I've seen some reviews and they said it didn't scroll. It does. The fingertips have one button and that is a scroll.Customer Review: Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok folks, here is the deal short and sweet. I am 23 years old and have never had any RSI's until my first office job. Pain in my elbow started from a cheap mouse I was using 40+ hours a week at work. This mouse is the answer for people who live and make their living on a computer full-time. It's pretty good overall and make for a very good everyday mouse. However, don't expect it to be good for anything but work. Games are so-so and graphic design would be tough. For everyday desk jockies like me this thing has got me back to work and pain free. If you expect these results from this mouse and nothing more, this is the mouse for you!Customer Review: Good quality, good price
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have wrist/elbow pain, or carpal tunnel syndrome, you can try using this. I tried because of tennis elbow, caused due to improper posture while handling mouse. This is of good quality and definitely the change of position relieved the pain associated.
PROS:
* Encourages the movement of shoulder and whole body instead of just the hand or the wrist
* Game device like hold
My suggestions:
* Become ambidextrous (using both hands)
* Switch hands for a few days while using mouse
* Change to a natural, pain-free position
* Build up the muscles in the forearm
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: 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.
