After shoulder surgery, I needed one of these and it worked like a charm. The only thing I needed to do was reverse the button settings, even though I am right handed, this made it easier and stopped an issue I had inadvertently clicking when I didn't want to. The packaging was great. Didn't need to upload the software from the included disk. It's plug-n-play. Very nice carrying case. It securely holds the pen and the dongle. You can take it anywhere. I work in IT and anyone that saw it thought it was definitely a good buy.

I purchased this to hand-write or to draw on the paint application. It simply doesn't work. The tip is dull-shaped (not sharp enough) so that it is awkward (and thus preventing me to write even a single letter). I tried to write hello in paint, but I never succeeded. If you are looking for a mouse pen that you can write something or draw something with, this is not your choice.

I thought it was okay for the general clicking actions. It does pretty much the same as a normal mouse would do, except that you are holding the mouse in a pen shape. BUT it actually doesn't feel like a pen either. It actually made my hand and shoulder tense up while I tried to use it for a long time, because in order to click something, you need to press the pen down so that a button at the tip of the pen mouse is clicked. So uncomfortable, awkward, and non-ergonomic. I bought this to cure my repetitive stress injury on my finger joints (especially thumb), but this does no job. It actually makes worse.

I'm returning this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great alternative!

With a traditional mouse, my hand was always fatigued from too much mousing, particularly all the button clicking. By the end of the work week, I felt crippled and didn't want to touch the computer all weekend. This pen mouse saved my hand. I've been using it for about a month, and I noticed a difference the first week. It has taken some time to get used to, but I'm getting the hang of it. Pressing down on the mouse to left-click is less tiring than clicking with a finger. Two drawbacks are: 1) the mouse goes to sleep when you're not using it, and it takes a second to wake up. Not a big deal, just different than a normal mouse that is always ready to go. 2) you have to pick up the pen to use it rather than just putting your hand on top of the mouse. Again, not a big deal; I've gotten used to this. The learning curve has been frustrating at times, but getting rid of the discomfort has been worth it!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Concept. But has some flaws....
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2013
Verified Purchase
I used the mouse for about an hour. Worked fairly well. However,

1. The single click (push the pen down), is harder than it should be. You inadvertantly move the curser when clicking.
2. The "Right Click" button is down on the pen too far. You have to move your hand down the pen in order to click it, once again, you inadvertantly move the curser.
3. If you move your hand down too close to the end to use the buttons, you end up gripping it to where it squeezes the end making the left click stick to where it will not release.

I will probably keep it just because it is a cool concept and i am a gadget freak.

Update 01/29/2013:

I have now used this product for greater than 6 months and I am quite satisfied with the returns on investment. I have not had any strain-related pain after starting to use this product. As a tip to buyers, I would recommend you to get a pack of AAA alkaline batteries when you buy this mouse. I use this product for at least 6 hours a day every day and a single battery lasts little over a month. With a pack of batteries, you shouldn't bothered for a few months at the least.

------------------------------------------------
This product is an example of a great idea with weak implementation. I base this review on usage as a mouse, not for drawing and other pen-input activities.

Good things first.

1. Nice feel when held. Not top heavy and comfortable to hold.Ergonomic.
2. Accurate function, even without any drivers installed.
3. Simple to use. Just plug in the receiver and you are good to go.
4. Selecting texts is precise (after a few tweaks for me. See below).

Not so good things.

1. For left click, you have to press the pen down since the button is at the tip. After some time of use, my hand became stiff due to constantly applying pressure.

2. Plasticky feel. Drop it on a hard floor and the thing will shatter into pieces.

3. The pen holder (pocket clip) is at the wrong location, interfering with using the mouse.

Some tips.

1. Remove the pen holder (pocket clip). The mouse feels a whole lot comfortable after that. To do this, open the battery cover and use a precision star screwdriver to remove the screw holding the pen-holder. As simple as that.

2. Enable Clicklock in Mouse settings. This makes it really easy to select in that you don't have to drag the pen-mouse around with its left-click button pressed. Clicklock works for scroll bar too.

3. Swap the left- and right-click buttons. Go to Mouse settings in Control Panel (Win 7) and check "Swap primary buttons" or some option like that. Now in a regular mouse, right-button will do left-click. In the pen-mouse, you can use the soft right-click button to do all your left-clicks and use the occasional pen press to do your right-clicks. This works great for me for long hours of use.

The mouse is great for use after I did the above tweaks. It comes with a nice mouse pad and a pouch. If the manufacturer improved the construction quality and doubled the price, I would buy again in a heartbeat.

And even with the present version, it is a great tool if you are suffering from repetitive strain injury or need a more intuitive way of cursor control.

A friend recommended this device to me, as, due to a lot of time spent doing "mouse moves," I have developed issues in my neck and often have numbness in the fingers of my right hand. I received this device yesterday, had no problems installing the driver (though I did go to their website to download the driver vs using the minidisk which my PC did not want to accept). It did take a few minutes to get used to using it, but I was delighted when I could set a book in my lap, mouse pad on top of it, and comfortably edit a manuscript without pain.

Whilst other reviewers have experienced a "delay," I have not had this problem (am using Win8): it's location on screen is accurate and very little pressure required to 'click' the pen. I am also able to hold the pen in hand whilst performing keyboard shortcuts which is most helpful. Because of the button placement, it doesn't matter if you are left or right-handed (I'm left-handed).

I bought this to replace my old one that I had for approximately 4 years. I dropped it from quite a height so it definitely had nothing to do with the manufacturer. It arrived 11 days after ordering through standard shipping. It is more expensive than some of the other mouse pens out there but you definitely get what you pay for so I don't consider this a negative factor. I have used cheaper ones in the past and there is no comparison! This is by far the best one I have used. Following are some highlights:

-It works on just about any surface.
-Has excellent wireless range.
-The software that comes with it gives you many options to customize/personalize how it functions.
-Battery life is excellent considering it only takes one AAA battery (nice that one is included with purchase). It also goes into sleep mode automatically which helps extend battery life even further.
-It comes with extra replaceable tips,leather carrying case, & small mouse pad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect - Kicks the ass of all other Pen Mouse
Reviewed in Canada on May 31, 2015

Awesome product. I never thought this affordable mouse would do it for me. The concept of pushing down on the mouse pad seemed shady to me before buying, but it is actually this product's best feature. I love it, very good ergonomics and has two interesting modes to hold the pen, facing up or on the side, as most people would normally write on paper.

The scroll option is also very nice. As you hold the scroll button, move the mouse upwards or downwards at the speed you need to scroll slowly or super fast in huge documents. Very intuitive.

The only caveat is the right click. I love pushing down for the left click, but the right click being on top of the mouse, it sometimes makes the mouse move while you are right-clicking and you might not click exactly where you wanted. On PC I have installed autohotkey mapping software to map the right-click to a Ctrl+Click to avoid this and I never use the button on the actual mouse anymore. However this requires a little technical knowledge to setup. It probably isn't needed on Mac, since Ctrl+Click is already setup as right click on OSX.

I did buy 3 Pen Mouse to test and compare; this one, the TomTop Pen Mouse, that one was a total waste of money, and the PenClic Mouse, that is a good alternative to this. I prefer by far the Genius Pen Mouse, but the Penclic might seem more intuitive to some.

A fairly good replacement for a Contour mouse. I find the right click switch too low on the pen to be comfortable and the scroll switch very annoying to use. The 'press to left click' is okay but would work better if it required less pressure. Tool works very well on a low friction surface but is a struggle to use on anything other than supplied pad which I would prefer to see larger. The main improvements would be to move the right click switch higher up the pen body, reduce pressure required to activate the left click function and add an actual scroll wheel on the pen. I use the Genius Pen Mouse for regular mouse work and go back to the Contour mouse for anything requiring scroll work.
