Without reservation I loathe the new "ergonomic" MS mouse.  The old soap bars 
were not too bad.  The new one is too big, too heavy, and requires that I 
place my whole hand on it and thus have whole arm get involved in moving the 
mouse.  I like small mice that I can hold whith just the tips of a few fingers
touching, the base of my palm on the desk, an move purely by the flexure of
my fingers and wrist.

This whole arm and hand thing is tiring and a PITA.
