Contour Rollermouse Pro3 | Ergonomic Mouse | Wired Mouse with wrist rest | 8 buttons | 2400 DPI | For Windows and Mac

I've been a computer programmer for many years.Around 20 years ago I started getting terrible pains in my wrists and up my arms. Also in my right shoulder.I tried a whole host of alternative mice, trackballs, pointers - you name it - I tried it!None helped - often just causing pain in different places.For the last 15 or 16 years I have been using the Contour RollerMouse - and its saved my career!Pains gone!It took a little while to get used to it but now I'd never use anything else.They do wear out - I have had 3 Rollermouse Pros in the 15 or 16 years - just bought the Rollermouse Pro3.So I guess they last around 5 - 7 years.They have improved over the years and the RollerMouse Pro3 is a definite improvement over version 2.When my version 2 became temperamental my initial reaction was "Oh great - I have to buy another of these things".Its a necessary not an exciting purchase!What's improved is the tracking speed can now be adjusted via a button on the top - rather than turning it over and turning a dial.Secondly the scroll button is so much smoother to use - its buttery smooth!If my old Rollermouse had not broken would I have bought the upgraded version? NO!But it makes me feel a bit better about having to replace the old one!

May be a little expensive but worth the cost for ease of use. It plugs in and goes. I bought this as a 2nd one to travel with but be aware, it is narrower than the contour red plus but slightly longer. Saying that, I did not check the length difference. I do like the contour red better as it has a wider rollbar with little bumps on it and with nerve damage it helps more. Saying that, this one is a great alternative and a little cheaper, I love the copy & paste buttons which some cheaper ones do not have as standard along with the little scroll wheel. I have used this brand for a few years now and never looked back. At first it seems strange and alien and you feel slowed down, persevere and get used to it as in the long run you will be quicker and much more comfortable. As this was a 2nd travel item for me I tried a different brand that was cheaper, it was horrendously plastic, not comfortable and more suited to the bin. Do not go for any other brand, I truly would not be without a contour rollbar.

It's not a case of whether I like this product or not. The simple fact is that this has become a must accessory for me that I cannot live without. As a professional software developer of over 25 years using a keyboard and mouse constantly is key to making a living. Over the years I have developed various aches and pains in my hands that can be debilitating at times.The simple act of taking your fingers off the keys and rotating your hand to the mouse is an unnatural movement and one that was causing me a lot of discomfort. I have found it worse when I'm using a full size keyboard with a full numerical keypad etc and the mouse is further offset to my right.I have tried various ergonomic mice over the years, the best on the market, and none have quite worked for me as well as the rollermouse.The rollermouse sits underneath my keyboard and provides a comfortable palm rest. To move the cursor most of the time I simply stretch my right thumb down to the rollermouse and that's usually enough to most of the time to manoeuvre the cursor to where I want to go.A mouse click can also be simulated by pressing down on the rolling bar also. If needed there are dedicated buttons for clicking/selecting also.There is a trade off in the sense that the control is less accurate that a conventional mouse, however over time you do become used to it more and more. Also the pointer reaches the edge of the screen and the bar has been moved all the way to the end. At this point if you keep trying to move the roller it will eventually re-adjust and let you keep moving the pointer in that direction and this is initially a little jarring.I don't know how robust this product will be. It is collecting debris etc from my dirty hands over time etc as I eat lunch at my desk etc and probably don't have the best hygiene :). I have read however that it is possible to take it apart to clean it. Perhaps occasionally I should use a wet wipe and wipe down the 70% of the bar that is exposed.I will conclude by saying that it's a considerable investment, however I won't be buying another mouse and regardless of how long this lasts I will be buying another because this has become a natural, pain free way to interact with my machine 8 hours a day 5 days a week. My mice are now tucked away in my desk and I have no intention of bringing them back into action anytime soon. Well worth the money! I'm interested in trailing the mobile version at some point when funds allow!

I had used almost this exact roller mouse model at my last job. So when my wrist started hurting at my new job, using a regular mouse, I knew what I needed.I ordered it and it arrived quickly.I love how I can use either hand to operate the mouse with ease, sharing the days workload over two hands. The copy and paste buttons are great and the mouse keeps my back straight. Love that it doubles as a wrist rest when typing too.Best mouse ever!

This mouse is a godsend for my poor shoulder. I have an issue with my rotator cuff and I’ve tried several mouses, all of which leave me in pain after a few hours but this one is fantastic! Love the fact that you can control the speed of the mouse and the short cut buttons are great. Works well with my Mac and my laptop.I have two reasons for not giving it 5 stars:- it doesn’t work well with ergonomic keyboards so I’ve had to compromise there- it’s really expensive and you’d expect it to be wireless for that price.

really helps with my RSI

I was a bit hesitant as it’s a big piece of kit but a great purchase. I’ve got mild RSI in my fingers and this has helped massively. The bar rolls SO smoothly it’s a pleasure to use. Great to have simple features like the double click, copy and paste buttons to reduce clicks needed. Also comes with keyboard height adjusters so didn’t need to worry about that.
