Hei nice article but I want to suggest you something. I think you would add some reviews of all products you defined here. Reviews really matter a lot for any products.

On the topic of Ergonomics and RSI – I started developing RSI from mouse use a few years ago, and eventually saw a specialist.
The point he stressed to me was the need for variety, and not simply use the same muscles fixed in the same tiny range of movement day in and day out.
His advice at the time was to buy 100 mice and alternate between them.
My solution was to buy an adjustable mouse and adjust its configuration daily.
Still doing so, and now on my 3rd MadCatz RAT7, and still pain-free.

You missed another important thing when it comes to buying mice:

Don’t simply order one online, no matter how good the reviews are. Make sure you actually get your hand on one, either at a store or a friend’s.
This will let you find out that the “best but most expensive small mouse for general mobile use” would be a constant annoyance for you because the size and proportions of your hand will result in constant inadvertent button presses.

I second the observation that ergonomic mice (mouses?) are good stuff and not just hype. I use the Evoluent Vertical mouse (evoluent.com), which is similar to the one you suggested. It is significantly more comfortable on the long term than a regular mouse, and also comes in a left-handed variant (I alternate semiregularly between hands, which also helps). Basically, switching hands lets your “bad” hand rest while the other works; using an ergonomic mouse lets you go longer before you need to switch.

Mary, it sounds like you are doing exactly what I would have recommended. The main thing you did was to switch hands, which totally obviates the elimination of variables, of course. Having a loose grip is hugely important. If you look at the grabby full handed ergonomic mice being sold, I think you might agree that they are not built for a light touch with fingertip control.

As a harvard trained biological anthropologist (we have to study skeletal and muscular systems) I’m certainly not suggesting that the research is suspect. I’m suggesting that the use of “ergonomic” in the advertising of certain products is suspect.

MikeN, do you like that mouse? It tends to get very mixed reviews.

You may be suspicious of the whole ergonomic thing, but as someone who has had very painful hand problems for 20 years, I think rather differently. I finally got roller ball type mice which are extremely helpful. Since my right hand is the most painful, I put the unit on the left side and use my leftmost finfgers to control it. It is not necessary to grip the unit at all, saving my thumbs. Having worked for years at the Harvard School of Public Health occupational health department, and followed those faculty members who established the Work Envirioment Department at UMass Lowell, I was very well placed to keep track of ergonomics for years. I have been retired for some years, but still use a computer for writing and design.
