Kensington Mouse

I have terrible Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in my right hand, so bad that I can't use it for mousing at all.Over the years I've used several different so called "ergo" type mice that never really helped until I found this one.

The expert Mouse by Kensington is highly adaptable; it's programmable so you can customize it to work the way you work.The trackball is located in the center and is 2 inches in diameter; you move it by either turning the ball with your fingers or your palm.There are 4 large buttons that can easily be programmed to be the one click or double click button by going to the customize part of the software; it's very easy to do.The software is very easy to work, you basically don't have to do a thing and it will still work based on the company presets but if you need to customize it, you can and you don't have to be a computer guru to do it.

Currently I have the mouse set up to use with my left hand; it was very easy and because of the way it is designed, I easily adjusted to it within a couple of days.The software also has a feature you can activate to remind you to rest your hands or take a break every 30 minutes, which can get annoying over time.

However, the best feature on this mouse is the scroll wheel, best thing ever!I work with a lot of large pdf files, scrolling through them used to take a lot of time but now, I just use my fingers to scroll through them FAST.A quick flip of a finger and the wheel is just spinning right down to where I need it to go.I cant imagine having to work without the scroll wheel, its such a great feature!

The one thing that isnt that great is the wrist rest; Ive had to add additional padding to it because it caused some pressure point issues.Another person I know removed it as it caused his hand to hurt.Additionally, this mouse is big; it wont fit on a standard mouse tray unless the wrist rest is removed.

If you have nad or writst problems, this is the mouse for you; if you want to avoid wrist problems, then this is the mouse for you too!
