Hello Arthur,

I would buy one of these:

...a very good, lefthanded mouse. It may take a few days to get used to, but it will relieve the stress on your right hand!

turn it around and you can use it on with your right hand....

Man if someone could get use to using their left AND right hand mouse at the same time.....

Thanks!

This looks very interesting. I would really like to hear feedback from anyone who has tried one. I may be game to be the guinnea pig.

First Full Day of Use Report:

So far it has been easy to use. I will say it does feel different and certain arm muscles are being used that weren't in a normal mouse. I think this should be expected though since it is a different position. I have been able to CAD about 95% normally. If you click hard or too fast you are pushing against the mouse sideways and can scoot it alittle. I think I will adjust to this easily. Also since the weight of your hand isn't pushing down on top of the mouse it glides faster accross the mouse pad too. So far nothing that would make me send it back. I figure in about a week I should be totally used to it and wanting one for home!

Another neat feature is that the mouse software will give you reminders to "Take a break and stretch your body". You can turn this ON or OFF as you see fit and set the interval however you want it. Kinda nice, but might get old after awhile.

More later....

I have just received my vertical mouse and I have to agree with Tony. It is very easy to get used to. The hardest thing has been the extra buttons and learning the figure position and trying to figure the best command use for the extra buttons. Currently I have one button to toggle open datacad files and the other opens the layer manager. I have to also agree with Tony about the slight soreness in the arm from using different muscles, but this is just a adjustment period. It moves very easily. There is absolutely no strain on the hand. There is great spacing of the buttons which I have had to retain the hand to use all fingures, unlike my old narrow scroll mouse where I only used two fingures. I will keep every posted on my progress and how the mouse works out.
