I highly recommend it, but it COULD stand some improvements:

- Better grip material
- softer click pressure
- position of thumb buttons

All of these are based on my personal experience - AS I WAS SUFFERING CT. I bought this mouse because I was in pain. SO given that fact, the grip and click pressure made using the mouse - initially - uncomfortable. After a week or two, it was less of an issue. I added some 3M micro-foam tape to the mouse for better grip and it helped.

That said, it is a GREAT mouse. Much of my "complaints" are subjective and your mileage may vary. I am recovering from carpal tunnel and this mouse HAS HELPED. It will take a week or two to get used to and to stop knocking it off the table :-) but if you are dealing with CT this mouse CAN HELP. Well worth the price and it feels natural in the hand.

After having developed a serious case of 'mouse elbow', I wanted a mouse to limit pronation. Most are 'way overpriced, and I didn't need a wireless one. This seemed a good one with which to experiment (since you never know how well they'll help you 'til you try 'em). I sure didn't want to dump $60 only to find it didn't help. Lo and behold, while not a 100% solution, the 'mouse elbow' became markedly less severe with using this device. Mind you, I use it mostly for work, some simple gaming, and I don't depend on programmable buttons. The fact that it's got a high profile means that you may knock it off the mousepad a few times before getting fully used to its presence. Overall, well worth the price if you want to try the relm of ergonomic mice at a reasonable price. Darn it, though, it broke down just past the warranty period. It seems the left click on the mouse isn't meant for heavy (e.g. gaming) use. So it you're not a heavy mouse user, this will be fine. Just don't expect the same quality as Logitech or Microsoft.

The Joy Ergonomic Mouse is comfortable to use and has made lengthy computer sessions much less fatiguing to my hand and wrist. This fact and a reasonable price make the Joy a winning product.

I had been using a traditional mouse and had a lot of pain in my wrist. I've purchased other mice with a track ball and never really got used to them. But, since this one is basically a regular mouse turned on it's side, it was easy to get used to. Also, the pain in my wrist went away after about 4 days of using this mouse. It is very comfortable and easy to use!

did help my wrist some since turn hand sideways to use, easy to use just like regular mouse, so no learning curve, good quality

I am very satisfied with the Wow Penn Joy ergonomic mouse as its' design allows a more comfortable position for my wrist. The thumb actuated page back and page forward feature eliminates moving the pointer to the upper left side of the screen every time I want to page back or forward. Next time, though, I would opt for wireless, but its' not being wireless does not impact my satisfaction with this device.

I love this mouse. I have RSI particularly in my right (mouse) hand, and this mouse has considerably improved my pain and fatigue. I have one at home and am really leaning towards getting another one for "travel" use - so I don't have to use the traditional mice at work and college when I'm there. Highly recommend for anyone with wrist issues, or even just someone looking to prevent issues. The button placement is also very nice, love the back/forward thumb buttons.

I'm at my work computer 8+ hours a day, and a couple more at home. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and wrists. This mouse has solved my issues with little or no transition time! It has all the features of a traditional mouse, in the same positions that my fingers have been going to for years, except my arm and wrist are turned 45 degrees. Very, very comfortable. And a lot less expensive than competitors! I'm ordering a couple more for home.

It's a nice looking mouse. It is sturdy construction. I prefer a bit heavier mouse though. And I would have liked it to be a little more vertical. The thumb buttons are a bit far back for someone with larger hands. It does seem to help a bit though. I believe it is worth the price.

I ordered the small Joy Ergonomic Mouse and it fits my hand pretty well. I was able to get use to the different ankle and buttons right off the bat and it feels really comfortable. The only thing I would like is for a wireless version of this mouse!
