Hi All,

I thought some of you might have a passing interest in this new pointing
device.

The website gives some nice EMG results on its use, but some of the fine
motor control of finger movements are lost, as compared to the
traditional pointing devices.

I've heard some concern about using the thumb for the up/down rocker
switch used for right and left mouse clicks, but am personally unsure of
it being a real issue.  Loss of fine mouse movement was more of an
annoyance to me when I tried it.

It's probably fine for normal applications, but I wouldn't try to do
graphics with it.


ALSO - while I'm "on-line", checkout <http://www.goldtouch.com/> a new
mouse from the original designer of Lexmark Select-Ease keyboard.  The
gallery shows some better pictures/perspectives of the product.  It
should be out soon . . .


FWIW,

Scott
