I would love to see a review of it being used in Photoshop and for Gaming!]]>Nov 1st 2006 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/
The grasping action required to manipulate the slider will put much more stress on your wrist than laying it on a mouse that is shaped to the cup of your resting hand. The only benefit to this device, aside from the macro buttons, is that moving from the keyboard to it requires a shorter path than from the keyboard to most peoples' mouse location at the side of the board. Otherwise it's design results in the opposite of its advertised reduction in repetitive stress injuries.

(I can imagine it could be somewhat more precise, e.g. for graphic design, because the grasp of your hand would be more like a pen, but at what cost?)]]>Nov 1st 2006 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/Nov 1st 2006 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/
Try it. The keyboard is now farther away, requiring you to rest your arms on the desk and sit closer to the desk to reach the home row comfortably. Now, quickly move to the repositioned mouse. Unless you're a little bit anorexic, your elbow should connect with your stomach.

What an ergonomics nightmare!]]>Nov 1st 2006 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/Nov 1st 2006 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/Nov 1st 2006 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/hela-rolls-out-ergonomic-glider-mouse/
