@ZARCHITECT
My bad, it was meant to be $30, but I got over-excited and pressed the zero key twice. Corrected now.

@zarchitect: word... they better redesign this bish and put like 4 extra mouse buttons on the side where your thumb is... at least then it'd make sense.. kinda.

Since my wrist has been bothering me lately this looks pretty nice. looks a lot better than some of their older designs.

Hmmm... I'd be willing to give this a try. For $30, I probably will if I ever see it for sale somewhere. Go innovation!

@TKE-Egon: plus along with some extra thumb buttons, they could even make it more useful by having a cup holder on the top so you wouldn't have to take your hand off the mouse to drink your coffee...

The most effective vertical mice I've seen up 'till now works close to a joystick... buttons are like triggers.

But on this one the buttons are in an awkward position. I still use 2 fingers instead of 3 on the mouse buttons... so that wouldn't be very nice since I'd probably have to keep dragging my pinkie on the table.

@xint: If you think about it it'd be like a joystick leading to the joy in the name.
I actually thing this would be more comfortable than a reg. mouse. You'd have to get used to it first tho because i kno my hand would probably be falling off of the mouse the first day.
Now yes it does look like a "toy of pleasure" but i find that really immature.

Wow, I've been looking for a mouse just like this. You'd be surprised how comfortable something like this is.

Right now I'm using the Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000. Before that I had a MS Trackball Explorer glued to a wedge.

This good for ergonomics.

WHAT?! No pen, wow, nor joy? FALSE ADVERTISING! I'm suing, because everyone seems to be doing that these days.

I'm just afraid there is no going back after adopting to these kind of mouses. Then you're in trouble.
