IBM scrollpoint pro mouse - NICE!

#1 Post by gator » Thu May 24, 2007 8:43 am

I got one these from buy.com for $17 shipped, and it is the best mouse I have ever used. It is controured just right to fit your right hand perfectly (no fear of carpal tunnel). Instead of the scroll wheel, you have a trackpoint-like stub and you press on it downard to scroll down and vice versa. It is amazingly comfortable to use ont my SXGA+ screen. The scrolling speed and the pressure required to scroll can be controlled just like the trackpoint.

Just thought I'll give a mini review here.

What about left-handers? I like it but I see it sort of curved on the right end.

Also, I see a bar like button on the right side too, does it do anything?

With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."

No left handed option - which is kinda sad.

The button you see near the right thumb area is programmable. I use it o open 'My COmputer' :D

We left handers are mostly, if not always, left out.
