Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse (L6V-00001)

Ive been using this mouse for awhile, and I really like it. Its easier on my hands and thumbs. It is very large, but that actually works to its benefit. It fits very comfortably in my hand. I have rheumatoid arthritis and struggle with issues related to that, tendonitis in my thumb, carpal tunnel issues, other wrist problems, and this mouse helps me a lot. I dont get as many hand cramps as such with it. The buttons are also easy to push. I really recommend it for people with hand/wrist issues.

I purchased this mouse purely because it felt SO COMFORTABLE in my hands when I was previewing the product at Best Buy. I have a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina and I use this mouse with it. This mouse is huge and round, but extremely comfortable in my opinion. Be aware that the blue, Windows button is not functionally compatible with Mac OS, so do not expect to use the blue, Windows button on the mouse when using with a Mac. However, the button located within the thumb scoop works! My only complaint is that the USB receiver sticks out way too much for my personal preference. I used to use a Logitech mouse and Logitechs USB receivers are hardly noticeable once you insert them into a USB port. The USB receiver included with this product will stick out about the diameter of a penny. Please see attached photo. Aside from this complaint, I love this mouse! Overall, I would recommend this mouse. It is very unique in design and comfortable for your hand. Go to a local Best Buy to check it out and watch some reviews on YouTube to get a better concept of the product in your mind before you purchase. As always, do your own research before purchasing any product and select the best product for your individual preference.

I have carpal tunnel issues in both wrists, but its worse in my right since Im right-handed. A while ago a friend who had RSI issues recommended this mouse to me and its been all I use ever since! I have one at work for my work desktop and one at home for my personal laptop. It makes a world of difference! I started a new job a few months ago and had to wait two or three days for a new mouse to arrive (since my workplace technically owns the mouse they buy me). In just those two or three days my carpal tunnel was much worse and I was having a lot more tingling and pain. As soon as my mouse arrived, it got much better. I have much fewer problems with my carpal tunnel overall using this mouse vs a standard one. The same mouse I had at my previous workplace had been going strong for the 3 years I had it. And that was even after many times I accidentally swiped it off my desk and it clattered to the floor. Its still there for someone else to use. I like the feel of the material of the mouse. The only downside, in my opinion, is the "back" button on the left side of the mouse where the thumb goes. Im sure it may be useful to some people, but I wish I could simply disable it so I dont actually hit "back" when on a webpage. Ive gotten used to it and dont do that very often anymore, though I used to do it all the time when I first got the mouse and was getting used to it. Again, just wish I could disable it and not think about it all. But if thats the only drawback, its still worth it for this mouse because of everything else.

One evening of use in and Im really liking it. I have small hands and was concerned that it would be too large for me to use as it does look very big in the picture but its perfect and allows me to hold my hand at the exact angle Id been trying to hold it at while using a normal mouse. I play MMORPGs and have had no issues using it for that purpose. The windows button is in a good location and I feel I wont accidentally press it while gaming. The small button beneath it that serves as a "back" button for web browsing can be assigned a hotkey in game which is a nice bonus. For the downsides, the windows key cannot be easily disabled or remapped to something more useful. A cursory search indicates that youd need to run a script or do some regedit to change it and Im not bothered enough to go to the trouble. The windows key cannot be assigned a hotkey in games either and attempting to do so generated an error message from the game. This mouse pairs very well with this wrist rest: HandStands 55510 HandStands Add-A-Pad Wrist Cushion Another minor thing, the USB plug itself sticks out of the side of my laptop about half an inch. This is a non-issue for most desktop PC users who will probably plug it into the back somewhere and forget it, but for laptop users youll have to remember its there and unplug it whenever you want to pack up your laptop so you dont accidentally jam it on something and break it or damage your port. (The mouse itself has a storage slot in the battery compartment to keep the USB plug in when youre not using it.)

I received the package the 30th of July and I started using it that same day. It is now the 30th of August and It still has the original batteries it came with. Believe it or not, I actually have not turned it off yet (now that Im realizing it) ever since I started using the mouse. Not because I wanted to test how long it will take for it to go through a pair of AAs but I was just used to having corded mouse, so turning off a mouse after Ive shut my computer down is not my thing, but its something that I will have to start doing just because I want to prolong the life of the device. Its a good habit to have anyway. Its probably also worth mentioning that because I do a lot of illustrations in my computer, and with this mouse not being a bluetooth device, I was worried that it may have some delay time during use cause that could be really annoying...especially when doing illustrations. Surprisingly, I dont get that. and Im 6 ft away from my laptop. So bottomline is that it is very good on batteries and response time is on the dot. Im very impressed with this product. The only thing that would make me change my mind about this product is if the mouse just completely stops working after this review..lol..but Im hoping that wont be the case :)
