If you are mostly at a desk, I can't recommend the rollermouse enough. Love this thing.


Second that. When I started exploring, I felt most ergonomic stuff had some drawbacks. A thumb mouse / trackball mouse is really imprecise even after long time use, compared to a standard mouse. A vertical mouse is still just a mouse, which takes time (and elbow pain) to move the hand to and from the keyboard.

A rollermouse, though. Don't have to move my wrists at all. It's fairly precise after just a day of getting used to it. It got a scroll-wheel, 5 buttons for right-click or whatever. I'm a huge fan.


Rollermouse is great in all aspects but clicking - its very pronounced. After a while I started to have unpleasant feeling in my joints up to elbows on every click. Maybe it's because I have an old model. Regardless it's the only thing I can use to work right now I recommend people with RSI to try it.


Agreed that clicking via the bar takes getting used to. Actually, agreed that clicking at all takes getting used to.

The ridiculous stability of where the device is, is amazing. I could wish it had a method to self center.
