Question 1

I'm trying to decide between the pro2 or the red?  i'm a cad designer and i type a lot of commands interspersed with precise mouse movements.

Accepted Answer

It would be a big mistake to buy the pro2. The Red is their redesign because previous models were a good ideal but poor design. The red is a good design. I've owned both the pro2 and the original and they both fell apart after about 6 to 12 months of use. I've had the red now for years and it is still as good as when I bought it

Question 2

What is this? No really, what even is this thing, I don't get it?

Accepted Answer

It is a mouse that sits below your keyboard instead of out to the right. I have a shoulder injury and reaching to the right of the keyboard to grab the mouse hurts my shoulder so I got one of these. I've been using one of these for 12 years and I love it. You don't have to move your hands away from the keyboard to move the cursor. The cursor is moved by pushing the bar right/left and rolling it for up/down.

Question 3

Is this as fast and precise as a regular mouse?  Any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

We ordered it to accommodate a user's ergonomic request who claimed to have used one before. Personally, I found it overly complicated to use and would disconnect it anytime I had to work on the machine it was assigned to. The person who routinely used it did not seem to have issues and thought of himself as quite the "techie." If you got used to its functionality I think it would work as fast and precise as a wired mouse.

Question 4

I have a curved keyboard. Will this work?

Accepted Answer

It will work but your desktop might be bulky and take additional space.  The good thing about this one is that it is smaller than the original Rollermice that first came out.  And it takes a couple of weeks to get used to it.  I support many folks, but after they get used to it, the majority of them love it.  I have had some folks who just couldn't get used to it.  So, not sure where you fall on that scale. You might purchase from someplace where you can return it if you absolutely hate it!
