Left Hand Joy Mouse
« on: Wed, 14 November 2012, 16:01:06 »
I was skeptical about the vertical until I bought one a few weeks ago.

The knock-off Joy Pen is great, and I quickly came to love it. I am not a gamer, so poor specs don't matter to me.

But I really want a left-hand mouse, and the only style that is apparently available does not appeal to me, besides being very expensive.

I have large hands and dry skin, so it has to have the combination of a bigger size and a texture that is not slippery. I also like the slight angle or lean of the Joy, the others seem far too upright.

Google search and ebay/amazon do not return viable options for me.

Thanks!

Thank you.

I bid on a Quill on ebay recently, but did not win it.

All those others look to be exactly what I don't want, a design similar to the Evoluent. I got a left-hand Evoluent and have used it for nearly a month, but I simply can't be comfortable with it. Too vertical, and too dependent on the thumb opposing the fingers.

I still think that the Joy Pen is the right configuration.
