Excellent – much better than all sloping mice
The Posturite mouse is excellent for me. I tried with two different sloping mice; these helped with the angle of my wrist, but acted as a wedge to force my thumb into an uncomfortable position which produced strain in my hand which I didn’t have before.This is the only mouse I have found which has eased strains in my hand and wrist.Two smaller issues:1) I went for a mouse slightly smaller than recommended, and it’s fine for me.2) I am using a slower “Push DPI” speed than I had done before (a button the bottom of the mouse controls this), to enable me to have better control over the mouse pointer for clicking on small buttons and crosses on the screen. At a slower speed, I am able to control the mouse well. I did notice issues with controlling the mouse at faster speeds initially, and I also found that if I put my little finger on the desk beside the mouse base, that gave me more control (and it would be easier if the base were a little smaller); at the slower speed, I don’t need to do that.It’s more expensive than other mice, but the relief it brings is well worth the price.

Really an excellent product
I have been using this mouse for some weeks at the time of writing. I suffer from some RSI related tendon discomfort from mouse clicking with my middle and fore fingers of my left hand. I tend, with a normal mouse, to flex the whole of my finger from the 3rd knuckle (the one closed to the wrist at the base of my fingers). This mouse has completely eliminated the associated discomfort that I feel in the tendons that control the flexing from the knuckle. It does this by promoting a finger position that encourages the curling of the finger to press the buttons, rather than flexing at one joint. The curling action uses a different set of muscles and tendons and allows the resting of the other tensions and muscles that are the problem. The rest really works as I have been able to use a normal mouse for a day without problems when I have forgetton to pack the penguin. In addition it holds your hand in a neutral position that is good ergonomically. It is a wonderfully designed product and I couldn’t go back to a normal mouse now.

Impressive for pain relief, lacking a lot in other areas
The mouse is excellent in its form; it really helps in reducing pressure on the wrist.However, the product is not manufactured at high standards for the given price point.These are the issues I found so far (a little bit more than a month of use):- The battery doesn’t last 30 days at all! It lasts max a week. This is a bit frustrating, as I was expecting those 30 days on, which most of mouses / trackpads deliver.- The wheel seems to miss very often. I need to scroll 3-4 times before the page actually starts moving. I thought it was my os (mac), but I tried it with linux and I got the same experience.Overall it’s very good if you get what promised or you are not bothered by these issues and look after only the pain relief (which they achieve 1000%)I’m considering contacting the seller as it might be a faulty one

A great tool to help manage RSI from heavy mouse-work
Bought to try and address a pain in my right hand, this mouse is pretty neat in that you can use it left or right handed. I followed the size guide before buying, even printing off the PDF and matching my hand against the printed picture. This led to me buying the large sized version which I feel is just a little too big – despite my hands measuring comfortably over the “large” indicator line by a good 2cm. So I would advise caution when sizing your hand as it feels like it’s a bit larger than it should be. That said, it could be part of the design but it does feel a little awkward.The wireless version comes with a relatively smal USB dongle that the device automatically connects to pretty quickly and it’s immediately recognised by Windows as a standard mouse needing no additional drivers. The dongle will protrude from the side of your laptop quite a bit – fortunately there’s a little covered reces in the base of the mouse to house the USB dongle when in transit.The mouse has a horizontal scroll wheel and two buttons – these are the active controls that you will use. Sitting underneath your little finger is a switch that changes position when you use the mouse right vs left handed, this effecively reverses the direction of the scrollwheel. It may sound odd but it makes perfect sense when you’re using it.The mouse also has a number of resolution settings, which can be altered by pressing a button on the underneath of the unit. This has been a really useful feature for me – if yo’uve never used a vertical mouse before and, especially if you’re using your “wrong” hand, then having a super-sensitive mouse is the last thing you need. So i started with it on a relatively low sensitivity meaning I had to move the mouse a large distance to cover one side of the screen to the other. As I got more used to useing the new mouse (and the wrong hand) I was able to turn up the sensitivity, improving my productivity without being really frustrated from the outset.The battery lasts a really long time. A USB charging cable is supplied, and here’s my only gripe – rather than using micro USB or USB-C, they’ve used a proprietary charging port so if you lose the cable you’re in trouble. Battery charge is indicated by an LED behing the “penguin/spine” logo on the unit. So far mine has lasted about a month without needing a recharge.It’s missing some of the other buttons that I’d come to rely on with my prevous mouse (A logitech Performance MX), like the back button for browsing etc. BUt that’s not the end of the world. What’s more important is that it has helped me to use my other hand, relieving pressure on my main hand which had started to suffer from the early signs of RSI.So if you’re looking to prevent or manage RSI, this is a great mouse. Particularly if you’re prone to moving your mouse by flexing your wrist but not moving your arm. This kind of movement can put a lot of strain on your hand – the penguin mouse makes this impossible by resting the heel of your hand on a platform at the base of the mouse itself. The only way you can move it is to move your whole arm, significantly relieving the pressure from your usual mousing style. It’s got a few quirks but RSI is something you’d really rather not have, so even though it seems expensive, it’s cheap consider the problems it can help prevent.

The quirky ergonomic, just watch out for sizing
As a full time desk worker I can confidently say that this is a great concept, which after a couple of weeks of getting used to, has relieved the hand and wrist pain I was experiencing from using other mouses. If you are suffering any pain or discomfort this is worth a shot.Only warning is watch out for the sizing: I followed their hand measuring advice which brought me out at a large, however this was too big and a strain to use. Amazon’s convenient returns policy soon sorted this and the next size down now works perfectly.

I really needed an excellent ergonomic mouse to handle long days of computer work, and tried a wide variety of them. This is the best I’ve found and I’ve been quite happy with it. The mouse is turned sideways compared to the typical kind so the hand can be in a more natural “handshake” position, which I’ve found more comfortable. It significantly reduced wrist pain and I’ve been able to handle the long days on the computer much more easily. It probably only took a few days to get used to it. I’ve now bought it for multiple workstations.I do notice that on one of the mice, I sometimes I can’t use the middle rolling part smoothly (it seems to catch and not scroll correctly). It might just be a slight error that affects some of them, as I haven’t had that problem on all.I also LOVE that they have this smaller size. It made a huge difference in comfort. The big one is just plain too big for my hand.

Great mouse overall for someone who experiences pain when squeezing a normal mouse or one that is positioned diagonally such as the Logitech.Took a week or two to get used to. Does a good job of relieving carpel tunnel pain and is now is hard to go back to a normal mouse!Itâs a bit expensive for what you get with the somewhat cheaper materials, but it has good build quality. Iâd say itâs a overall a good deal, especially worth it when you donât have any more pain.

Despite following size measurements, this is too big for my hand (18cm from wrist to middle finger tip). I can’t use it comfortably as it’s too tall and long, making it harder to reach my fingers around the front, and causing strain on my wrist as I can’t rest it at the right height. I’m not giving this one star, as possibly the small mouse wouldn’t have these problems, but I’m not sure I’ll try it, as this really feels like a lot more effort to move around than a regular mouse, plus it’s clunky and bumps into my desk (I use a pull-out keyboard/mouse tray under my desk, and hadn’t anticipated that a mouse could be so tall!)

Excellent. Je ne mets pas 5 étoiles a cause du prix

It does help a lot with my tendinitis. I switch hands all the time and now I’m ambidextrous even on video games. I would never go back to a horizontal mouse. Good product also, durable and comfortable if your table and chair are at the right heights as well! If not you will have to drag your arm on the desk a bit.
