It is very ergonomic- your hand/wrist never need to move/strain, fingers flick the ball for very fast cursor movement across the screen, while the thumb does the clicking (the LM button is "perpendicular to the thumb joint, RM button is under the pinkie - feels very healthy, and the click is soft and very healthy feeling again). The mouse is very precise too, more so than a traditional mouse for design, drawing, word processor, silent hunter etc .
If you read reviews on it (on amazon) you will most complaints were about its software, the actual ergonomics and hardware of the mouse is as good as there is. (And even software problem was resolved when kensington released an update sometime last year.)
Wishing you the very best of health and "sink them all"!  |
Hi mate,
Thank for the tip but in the past i remember i bought one, a Logitech and i had hard time pointing the cursor with precision and also i am afraid that i can get another rsi on the thumb for moving it too much.
I saw a vertical mouse and many seem to say it solved their problem but other mention that rsi came back after awhile so it is pretty hard to know which one to go for.
I am also looking at Wacom intuos 4 and some colleagues of mine are swearing only by it and said their pain went away and never came back.
I never tough for one second that i would look at my mouse as a torture instrument and now i do.
Since i am very fast and experience in modeling and texturing it maybe the culprit of all my problem because i do a lot of tricky move with that 9 mouse buttons.
Oh well i guess i have no other choice then to wait for complete healing.
Best regards Hans
