A Nice Surprise

(4.00 out of 5) by technurse on Jan 14, 2006

Pros: Comfortable, base acts as a hand rest, uses thumb instead of index finger.
Cons: Not wireless, no scroll wheel or slider.
The Bottom Line: Refreshing use of "non-mouse" fingers. Wish it had a scroll wheel and wireless option.

Renaissance, indeed! A new era of mouse-enlightenment in my home.

(5.00 out of 5) by lizzamay on Jan 10, 2003

Pros: Saved me from tendinitis hell. Plug and play; easy to connect. USB!
Cons: You have to install the software to customize the buttons.
The Bottom Line: Repetitive movement afflicts millions of computer users, and the mouse is usually the perpetrator. This mouse is light-years ahead of standard mice, ergonomically speaking. Need I say more?
