I bought one a week ago from Techready in the UK (google it) for a cost of about 60 quid including carriage. Worth every penny IMO. Before that I used a Microsoft Natural Wireless laser mouse 3000(I think that's the number - the ergonomic one) but the 45 degree slant to the palm surface just didn't cut it for my RSI and I still got numb fingers etc. My stalwart ergo mouse before that was the Quill Mouse http://www.keytools-ergonomics.co.uk/mice/airobic. asp - don't buy it, just observe its awesome horror. Totally cured my RSI/CTS symptoms (which obviously I still have with normal mice) but it's three buttons and using it for FPS gaming is akin to dancing in stilts. It's possible but it aint pretty. The evo 3 mouse just works better and is 5 button - but without the installed Evo software I don't like how the default buttons worked. The thumb button takes you forward in webpages and the pinky button is back. So when I'm browsing I keep knocking myself back a page if my pinky finger shifts slightly. With the software running it's fine. So why do I close the software? Because I couldn't get Fallout 2 to run with the mouse software running. Mysteries...

It has a largest variety (although not complete) of alternative input devices to help people with RSI and disabilities. In addition it has guides about RSI, workplace environment etc to help you avoid getting RSI. Nice fancy flash animations and everything.

i personally use a twiddler http://www.handykey.com/site/features.html combined mouse and keybord and find no trouble switching between it and the qwerty keybourd layout. Twiddler makes no claims about it's affects on RSI but one of the testimonials state that his RSI has been cured by switching hands

look at the link. It uses a layout as similar to querty as possible given the key possitioning and they have comissioned studies into RSI and their keyboard. A bit pricy though.

The only trouble i can see is if you touch-type properly (I look at the keys for qwerty but touchtype the twiddler), but I think as long as you remain practiced at both you will fond no trouble switching.

Apologies for my waffling.

For me it just looks like a trackman that you move around. If you want to talk about really new things compared to the mouse, take a look at the Ergonomic Vertical Mouse That one is realy inovative compared to the old mouse. Or any of the other mice on that site. Want something REALLY new? Thy this one
