What on earth is a "Roller Mouse"??

Ғылым және технология

There are some weird ergonomic mice out there, but... can you still call it a mouse if it's not shaped like one?

Still the mouse is connected for when I need to do superfast Excel work .. but for 80%+ of my time the roller mouse is tha sh*t. I would never use it for gaming - and that is also not the intened use IMHO.

    Want no broken vases? The most ergonomic mouse/keyboard combination in history is Datahand (seen in the movie Contact and the TV show Power Rangers). It's insanely expensive and terribly annoying to learn, but nothing is more ergonomic. It's also the first example of magnetic membrane keyboard switches. I think a low cost version of this product would be insanely useful.

    Did you know the roller bar actually clicks too? So two hands it not needed. I don't move my wrist at all while using it, i simply move my the finger i am using on the roller back and forth. Very little movement is actually needed to move the mouse far. The copy and paste buttons are a game changer for anyone who does a lot of that or works with spreadsheets. and of course the double click button comes in handy. I have been using mine since about 2017 and I don't think i could go back to working without it.

    We had these on the pharmacy I used to work at and it's still the best mouse alternative I've ever used. I always had my fingers on the keyboard and only moved my thumbs between the roller bar and space bar to use it. It won't replace a mouse for anything gaming related, but if you work with documents and spread sheets all day it will definitely speed up your workflow. I wish every keyboard had a small roller-bar like this integrated.

    Roller Mice are awesome. I used it for quite a few years when I did IT support. It definitely was very natural and nice to use after a week or so of use. Oh, and the pricing clearly is insane for the consumer market, but for the enterprise market, they can get away with it. The support desk I worked at had around 40 stations, all equipped with a Roller Mouse. It's a good item to blow the remainder of your IT equipment budget on at the end of a fiscal year.

    I have been using the Contour RollerMouse Red Plus for about a year now, and I'm loving it. It really helps your neck and shoulders when you sit in front of a computer 7-8 hours a day. I found that it's most convenient to use my thumbs on the roller most of the time. At work I have a 38" monitor which I have split into separate areas for different applications that I frequently jump in and out of as it is a part of my workflow. The RollerMouse makes me much much more efficient than if I would use a ordinary mouse - and it just feels so effortless. Can't understand those of you who would prefer a track pad. A track pad is not the same - Windows precision or not. It's just not efficient enough compared with the likes of RollerMouse. Try using one at your office for two weeks, and I promise that 7 out of 10 will not go back to a ordinary mouse.

    I personally use the Logitech mx vertical along with a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard. and its by far my favorite mouse in general. It was really easy for me to get used to having my hand upright and using my elbow and whole arm to make movements. having the same sensor as other mx mice is also a big plus since i like using 4000ish dpi. the lack of other buttons doesnt matter to me. I never used them anyway. But i would agree with linus on having side buttons on the scroll wheel would have been nice. overall its a great mouse, and worth a shot for anyone having problems with wrist and lower arm pains.

    About ergonomic solutions for using a computer. One of the engineers at my dad's company made a glove-like 3d mouse. The mouse was controlling with the palms, not fingers. While the fingers had a half a keyboard behind each of them, wireless ofc. This way he could have his arms in any position he wanted and produce in CAD programs at the same time.

    This device is a god send. I have been using it for years because I get chronic tendinitis in my index fingers. Ever since using this, I have yet to experience the pain I felt in my hands when using a conventional mouse. It varies differently from a touch pad because I can use a flat palm to control the Touch Bar (you can use any finger really) as opposed to using my fingers applying force to a hard touch pad surface. It’s nearly impossible to play fast paced games efficiently, but you can map the keys to your liking to play most games casually. Although, I would note that you tend to bend your wrists a lot more when trying to play competitively with it since it requires fast movements.

    My company uses these! When you start a desk position at my company, an ergonomic specialist contracted with the company comes out to your desk and arranges everything you touch during work to to be ergonomic. I had met with an ergo specialist and was in my position for a few years, but my CTS started coming back, and with it also came a new RSI of my right shoulder. The shoulder pain was purely from reaching for the mouse and back repetitively as the job required. Now, whenever I work inside any program, I always prefer a keyboard-only setup and try to omit mouse usage as much as possible. This came from playing MMORPGs in my teens and it just eventually became the norm for me to use the numpad to navigate my character and arrow keys for camera movement. Since then, I've always used the mouse as little as possible out of preference, so naturally that translated to optimizing my work the same way by navigating through my work programs by using tab and enter as opposed to clicking each field with my mouse and going back to my keyboard to type in all the fields. With that said, even supplementing TAB and ENTER and eliminating most mouse movements, I still had to repetitively reach for the mouse in my daily workflow where it couldn't be helped. I still developed a shoulder RSI. TLDR: When the ergo department fitted me with this mouse and my pain went away, I became a believer. Now I only ever use a conventional mouse for FPS games. Everything else I can do keyboard-only, Keyboard+roller, or controller. BUT if you move your dominant hand down to the roller, it becomes pointless. You have to use your thumbs to press the buttons in order to prevent another RSI. Also, I see a chiropractor for my shoulder :)

Squeezing the mouse has been hurting my wrist and shoulders for a long time. I've decreased the mouse speed, but it's still not enough, which is why I need better mouse accuracy. Perhaps more DPI?
