Re: [9fans] 3-button mouse

Hello,

Just one comment about the vertical Evoluent mouse (I bought one a few
months ago since Russ recommended them).

It can be pretty hard to get used to it. I had to force myself to try
it several times before I could stand using it. I think the main
reason is because you apply horizontal pressure when clicking and that
can make the pointer move unvoluntarily on your part. That gets pretty
annoying when it makes you fail at your chordings and you have some
code to produce.
Now I'm starting to really like it; I'd say one gets past the
annoyance if you manage to keep using it for a full day without
throwing it away for another mouse. In fact I'd recommend trying it
and starting to use it on day when it's not so important to be
efficient and you can afford to loose a bit of time to it. Sounds like
common sense now, but I think it's particularly true with that mouse.

Cheers,
Mathieu
