Product Description

Try the 3D space mouse... no table top required! It fits easily into either your right or left hand and doesn't need to be contained to a mouse pad. Never hunt for "mouse space" again! It's a great alternative to standard mice or trackballs. The ergonomic design of this 3-button mouse/trackball combinations is ideal for home, office, or the mobile traveler. A perfect "hands free" computer control device for multimedia presentations!

5.0 out of 5 stars These are Great, June 26, 2006

I have been having problems with carpel tunnnel for years.
I found this product and got releif.
However! This product does take some getting used to, you must teach your self to use it.
You also do not hold it as in the picture. Correct way to hold it is with your middle finger thru the center, using your thumb for the track ball and your middle finger for the center button which you should set up as your right click. It works equally well right or left handed. I work lefty but did not have to re-set the button settings; righty settings work for either hand.
Buy it an play with it, it is worth learning to use it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a little wobbly., September 17, 2008

This is a fine device, probably the most usable of the ultra-portable trackballs. The ball sensor, while wheel based, is adequately sensitive, and easily cleaned.

Unfortunately it's design requires you to press firmly on the left-click button to hold the device steady, there is no way to grip it securely and so the device wobbles a bit while using, and can result in accidental clicking. With the casing extending further back into the palm it would be easier to grip securely without having to hold firmly on the control surfaces.

4.0 out of 5 stars good enough, wrist fatique reduced, July 24, 2006

takes little time to get used to. I use it for my laptop at home. i have the 4D model: left mouse button is in the ring (not too sensitive for inadvertant clicks), right mouse button is on top at the right, left button on top is for scroll mode.
shopping or browsing is best.
if you have to type, it is possible while holding it.

improvements:
1. a little more plastic on the bottom base back part to wrap the middle finger around more firmly.
2. if you hold it tilting back or side, the ball needs to be heavier so it doesn't pop up when you let go and move the cursor right before you click. it is hard to keep the ball still with your thumb on it while clicking because it will move the cursor.
3. after 5 hrs or a weeks worth, no real skipping, but probably will need to be cleaned more than a mouse
