Unusual, joystick-like design reduces forearm twisting; available in two sizes; inexpensive; includes PS/2 adapter.

Buttons not programmable; no left-handed version available.

The 3M EM500 Ergonomic Mouse requires some adaptation, and it offers only the most basic mouse functionality. But the payoff is a more comfortable mousing experience.

I'm heartbroken that Newegg only allows me such a limited space to voice my love of this mouse. For almost two decades I've suffered from chronic pain and discomfort in joints throughout my right arm. I've tried nearly every form of "ergonomic" mouse...

The cons with this mouse are the same with any non-standard-form device ; Yes, it will take some time before you're as good with this mouse as you are with your old one ; Yes, it is a little taller than you're used to, so the first few times you switch...

It will save your wrists from carpal tunnel, no more tingle

not cheap

Cold painful hand from repetitive stress injury is gone. Comfortable, easy to get used to (for me anyway)

I would have given this thing 5 eggs if it had a scroll wheel, some applications just don't work with just a third button, rather annoying really ; Nothing to do with Newegg

As a computer programmer and hobbyist, I spend many hours a day using the mouse. Using this one at home has significantly reduced the pain in my right wrist. I use it mostly for browsing the internet and playing World of Warcraft

Not as precise as a traditional mouse, not enough to be competitive in first person shooters (Quake etc). For me that's ok

In my work I use a mouse all the time, and my hand was feeling very strained. This mouse has alleviated the strain I felt in my shoulder, wrist, and fingers. I am really happy with it. It's easy to get the hang of the new button orientation, it feels...

It is wired which gets in the way in my rather small workspace. It is also a bit pricey.
