Performance
The first thing I wanted to test about this mouse was the sensor performance, as it doesn’t matter how ergonomic a mouse is if it doesn’t provide some level of accuracy. There are only three DPI levels available from the mouse, but as you can see we’ve got fairly reasonable results across my tests. Ig this were a gaming mouse I’d expect slightly smoother performance and higher (and some lower) DPI settings, but it’s not a gaming mouse and this is perfectly acceptable for desktop use.
Using this mouse feels weird, there’s really no other way of saying it. I actually do suffer from a lot of wrist pain when using the mouse for more than an hour at a time and I have been eager to test this mouse out to see if it will help. After a day’s usage, I can confirm that it does ease the pain a noticeable amount, or at least to the point where I can actually use the mouse for a good while longer than usual before it becomes an issue. The only downside I’ve met so far is that the mouse doesn’t feel intuitive and certainly takes some time to get used to. I find I’m nowhere near as accurate with this mouse and even simple tasks such as closing a tab on a 4K monitor in Chrome need a steadier hand than usual.
Gaming performance is a tricky one, as for games like CS:GO you can forget it, this isn’t really an ideal solution. However, for games like Sim City 4, I found it to be a perfect solution, essentially, if you’re playing something with the pace of Minesweeper, you’ll be fine, if you’re playing an FPS, you’ll want to get out a dedicated gaming mouse.
A bit unusual, but feels like it has that niche appeal.
could well work to reduce stress on the wrist but dont like the glossy finish and as its on a different angle you’d want something with a grippy texture on it, plus your gonna have increased resistance as your hand is mostly making contact with the surface instead of the weight being displaced over a normally positioned mouse that has silicone pads to glide over the surface easier
I’ve always been a fan of MS’s Sculpt, but this looks like it’d be fun to use!
