Staff assessment: 

It is ideal for home, office, and travellers as it doesn't require much space to operate and won't interfere with any typing actions. It works by strapping to the index finger with button operated by the thumb. Work on any textured surface, such as clothes, pants, just like regular optical mouses.

In real life testing, we found that it takes a while to get used to a "vertical" finger operated mouse due to the fact that most computer users have never dealt with something like this. You'll need to learn to point it at a consistent angle, and also the way to use your thumb to operate the two buttons.

Mouse resolution is good for typical operations. Don't plan to use it with photoshop or action games though -- get a full-blown mouse instead. This is supposed to be a spacer saving and novel gadget that works.

Once you get used to it though (which should be fairly quick), you'll love the little operating space it takes. A must have gadget for frequent travellers who hate tiny touchpads and even more tiny IBM track sticks. You'll find it especially useful in space-contrained situations such as travelling on buses, trains, and planes.

Ownership verified by DX Not so handy
Posted by Phoenixfire on 11/28/2008
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstar

Pros: It's a fun gimmick. Different from other mouses. Nice to try out.

Cons: Not all that easy to handle really. Buttons hard to reach on smaller hands. Isn't comfortable when wearing. Don't get used to it quickly. Has trouble with different surfaces. Starts to hurt after a while because of unfamiliar hand-positioning.

Other Thoughts: Bought this as a prezzie for someone, both used it, we were both not too impressed with it. After trying out we quickly forgot we even owned it.

Bottomline: Fun gimmick, but I prefer touchpad/regular mouse.

Ownership verified by DX very good product!

Ownership verified by DX A double click nightmare
Posted by strengthnhonour on 11/26/2008
Involvement: Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar
Ease of Use: starstarstarstar
Build Quality: starstarstarstar
Usefulness: starstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: Good build quality and comes with thick cables (Rope type)that you know will last. Works perfectly with Windows XP and works on many type of surfaces that even brands like razor cannot.

Cons: Trying to double click properly is a nightmare despite changing multiple tilting angle. Perhaps more practice will solve the problem

Other Thoughts: Great value for money and is very useful for people who travel like me and is deprive of a proper place to use the house (E.g. Airplane). Definitely an eye turner

Bottomline: Get it as a toy that will keep you entertain for a day or 2. However you may found yourself trying to dig this mouse up again in the future when u really need it
