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.

Pros: first, this thing is a real eye-catched, when I unpacked it everyone at home was looking at me, my sister even said she wanted one. and everyone agreed that this product can be very helpful.
 
Cons: it's really hard to use at start, it takes some time before you can use it well, and the built is a bit fragile, when I use it I'm constantly thinking "don't break it, don't break it, don't break it"
 
Other Thoughts: it's a good product for people who travel alot and use a laptop while travelling, but for at home I still like to use my trusty old mouse.
 
Bottomline: it's a fun and eye-catching product for a nice price, and if you don't watch out everyone will buy one aswell

amazing!
