Digital camera reviews of 3M Ergonomic Mouse, Optical, USB/PS2 Compatible, Small Size, Black (EM500GPS)
Digital camera Review: Great mouse, well worth the price....
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had it for about 2 years and it has held up better than any other mouse I've had. It has fallen (kids/dog) about 50-100 times onto the wood floor and still works fine. Build quality seems plenty solid.
My wife and I both love this mouse, but it might not be great for precision work. She holds in the way it was intended, but I tend to raise my hand above it and use my index finger on the trigger. Still it is doing what it is supposed to...keeping me from putting pressure off my wrist.
There are a few times when you might need a standard mouse (for example when you have to press both buttons at ones). We also have a standard wireless mouse hooked up at the same time, so if I need to switch, I can. This is probably a good idea for those whose hand eventually gets sore on the 3m mouse....they can switch back and forth between the two to avoid repetitive stress issues. It also might not be a great mouse for someone who does lots and lots of clicking.
Digital camera Review: Great relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
This mouse is great. Better than the EvoulantEvoluent Right-Handed VerticalMouse 3 - Mouse - optical - 5 button(s) - wired - USB - black, silver which doesn't support your hand, you have to squeeze it constantly. Also cheaper (especially on Amazon) than Evoulant, QuillErgonomic Quill Mouse Pc and Mac Left Hand White or Zero Tension Mouse. My wife has one at work and I have them on both home computers. They prevented emerging problems for her and allowed me to work on the computer with my dominant hand before, during and after treatment (O.T.) for hand, wrist, arm, elbow problems. If you don't get an ergonomic mouse that supports your hand, you may be solving only part of your problem. I would recommend it even for people who are not having problems - mousing is so much more comfortable and natural (after the learning curve).
Only negative is not wireless.
Digital camera Review: Great! Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I usually never write reviews. But if anyone else is suffering from CTS, this is a great option for a mouse. I have been using it for a day and my wrist is already feeling better. Once you use this mouse stick, you will wonder why we have been using that other type of mouse for so long. It naturally fits into your hand and the buttons are very easy to grasp and use. AND there is no software to install. I was using it within 10 seconds of plugging it into the USB port. Three cheers for 3M (and no, I am not affiliated with the company).Digital camera Review: Grip like a hammer, much better!
Summary: 5 Stars
You grip this mouse like a hammer, it's the best solution for RSI relief!
Unless you want to try a head tracking solution, like [...]/ (~$100-$200).
I used the head tracker to totally rest my hands, and then transitioned to the 3M, and my RSI is gone!
Digital camera Review: Handle Broke off of 2 Mice with Normal Use
Summary: 2 Stars
Ergonomically, this mouse functions fine, but on the 2 that I've owned, both handles broke off within 5 months of normal use. What a hassle.
