FinCurv(TM Finger-Driven USB Wired Optical Ergonomic Computer Mouse USA Utility Patent

This mouse was such an amazing find. I have struggled with trigger finger in recent years perhaps because of a rock climbing injury (tendon pulley rupture) seven years ago or maybe just because of too much computer and smartphone use in recent years. In any case, this mouse stopped the chronic irritation, and I have hope for a full recovery if I can get myself to be disciplined about my OT exercises. I gave the first mouse I bought away to a friend who has also struggled with chronic hand irritation and bought another wired mouse and a wireless one for myself.

Helping with my trigger-finger damage, but would appreciate a redesign to move the scroll wheel to where the crook of my thumb sits, reaching for the scroll wheel causes stress to my trigger finger. I have found a couple of times I rub my thumb across that corner when I am thinking which is what made me think redesigning to place the scroll wheel there would work well. I think the scroll wheel may allow for it to be easier to use when designing in CAD to squeeze for rotating models. I attempted to go to the manufacturer's web-page but was security warned about going there, which is why I decided to comment these ideas here instead.

My right hand has been disabled for over 3 years. This is the only mouse I've found that I'm able to reasonably use. If the pocket for the fingers were larger towards the hump and the hump were more shallow then it would be a perfect grip. The mouse wheel would also be useable for me if it were set further to the rear. The mouse buttons could also be extended more towards the rear. I would pay $100 for that, but this is still the best I've found. Thank you for this product. I've just ordered 2 of the wireless models.

The design, that was cool that worked. What didn't work? The mouse. It is not structurally sound. This is my 3rd time trying. The first one, stopped working after I pulled it too far once. Like cord detached from the inside. The second one? Was the wireless model and that was the worst. Something on the inside wasn't connecting to the signal/usb nano thing and adding the battery made it worse. Why????? That made no sense. The third time? Only purchased it again, the wired version cause the design worked for my hand. But this third one? I'm pretty sure it was a return and the package was resealed. I plugged it in and the connection was inconsistent and very miscalculated. Again, the design is a decent idea, BUT FIX THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY FOR BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS!!! will it drive the cost up? Possibly but with it make it a worthwhile investment for many? Yes! I think I so. I'm giving up on this.

Thought I would try this as an alternative to traditional mice. I liked the idea of being able to click using my thumb and I was curious about whether this would allow for a more "natural" palm position. I think the concept is there but it wasn't fully realized because there are some things that can be modified to make this a "possible" contender. The pros: plug it in and go, it's lightweight, the intuitive design regarding buttons and scroll-wheel made it easy to use, scroll speed is okay, it slides around very nicely on standard mouse pad, rubber lining inside the finger tray. The cons: The lightweight plastic doesn't feel very durable. The finger tray feels awkward when gripped and somewhat short when I choose to just lay my fingers in it. I end up just laying my fingers on top of it and sliding the mouse around. I like the width of the mouse but the length of it feels very short. Being used to traditional mice that are longer with majority of your palm touching it's surface, this mouse leaves your palm asking, "Where's the rest of it?". I use a wrist pad to help with comfort and my palm's sense of loss. I'm not a fan of the cord/wire. Placement causes problems. When I have to pick up the mouse to reposition it, the wire gets in the way sometimes. Clicking is as audible as any other mouse. The scroll-wheel feels very rough. It doesn't scroll as fast and smoothly as I would prefer but it does it's job. I spent a reasonable amount to try this experiment but I would not repurchase. There are many other options out there. This one is probably going to end up being donated.

I've been using this mouse for just over a year, and it just stopped working the other day. The connection between the cord and mouse has broken/been overworked and the mouse doesn't really receive signal anymore. I use the computer for work and school, so I would say I'm using a mouse at least 12 hours a day, and I think this has helped a lot (I use this mouse on my personal computer 3-4 hours a day). It has a very comfortable low profile design, I like a lot. There is little to no undue stress to my thumb, wrist and index finger. Wheel and scroll bar started squeaking about a month ago.

This is the first mouse I have ever used that provides me with total comfort from my carpal tunnel syndrome!

I use it for a laptop and it needs to be cordless.
