comment
" ...  I use a mouse constantly b/c I have never cared for track pads and despite loving touch screens & inking ... If I'm doing something that requires a little more finesse or specificity, I go for my mouse. ... But I usually just purchase whatever mouse is small for portability my and b/c my hands are small + if it had a cute design. ... But I didn't want an ergonomic mouse . ... when it is engaged, it's very low profile mouse and my wrist can sit comfortably on the desk. ... the mouse clicker is essentially a track-pad so I can scroll anywhere on the pad without having to shift my finger to place it on a scroll wheel which since I have a splint on my finger to reduce motion . ... I love the scroll on this mouse.  ...  "

" ...  And its easy on my wrist.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I looked around for a new mouse with a more comfortable wrist placement and didn't require a specific scrolling motion aka scroll wheel. ... LOW PROFILE (easy on the wrist) . ... when it is engaged, it's very low profile mouse and my wrist can sit comfortably on the desk. ... then I can just give my a good push with my finger on the pad and it speeds up and scrolls much farther like you were spinning a free standing wheel.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Slick and responsive, and I like the fold on-off action (as per my review of the Logitech Wireless Keyboard, I sometimes do not use my home office set up for many days, so battery life can be extended by having these peripherals easily able to switch on or off power.)  ...  "
