Digital camera reviews of 3M Ergonomic Mouse SMALL/MEDIUM

Digital camera Review: Has aleviated mouse pain for 2 years
Summary: 5 Stars

Two years ago I started having extreme RSI issues in my mousing hand. I tried a number of ergo-mice in our company's ergo room and this mouse was by far the most comfortable. I've been using it for 2 years now and have had almost no problems, yet two working days on any other mouse immediately brings back the pain. A few observations:

1) The key for me is the slight angle of the joystick. I tried some other joystick-like mice that were vertical and they simply transferred the pain to other areas of my forearm. Vertical is NOT neutral. This mouse is a perfect angle for me.

2) Where it can transfer pain is to the side of my palm where my hand rests. Clearly this is caused by my laziness; when I don't rest my hand heavily on the base of the mouse, I have no problem. Even when the pain does creep in, it's transient, disappearing as soon as I stop being so lazy. As far as I can tell (I'm not an MD!) pressure in the side of the hand, while transiently uncomfortable, doesn't cause the same problems as pressure elsewhere on the hand/wrist because no tendons are actively working the pressure area.

3) I've seen complaints about thumb problems caused by this mouse. I haven't had any such problems, but I also have large hands and I have the small version of the mouse. This means my thumb doesn't have to extend at all and sits in a very neutral position on the top of the mouse. Even if you have large hands, I would recommend the smaller mouse. Of course, if you have small hands, this isn't much use to you...
