This 3M Ergonomic Renaissance Mouse is great for those with wrist injuries or discomfort because it keeps your thumb pointed in the upward direction, eliminating pressure within the carpel tunnel area. I was pleased to find this new version that uses an optical sensor, a USB connector, and a new graphite color. Mouse model number EM500GPS is supposed to be for those with palms 3.5 inches wide and less and EM500GPL is for those with palms 3.5 inches and larger. My palm is exactly 3.5 inches wide, I tried both, and the large size was much more comfortable.My fingers were much too cramped with the smaller mouse.I think the recommended cut-off between the two sizes should be about 3.0 inches.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of drawbacks.First, it's for right-handers only. Secondly, it is not quite as precise as a regular mouse because you can't use your fingers to fine tune the position of the pointer, so I occasionally miss target areas and have to reposition the mouse and click again.However, I still highly recommend this product because it helped eliminate my wrist pain, and that is the first priority!You can find info and drivers at the official 3M website: 3m.com/ergonomics/ergonomicmouse.jhtml
