After 27 years of clicking Mouse 1, my index finger is rebelling. My quack says it's arthritis, and advises using a mouse with a thumb-clickable Mouse 1. I've seen mouses with nicely contoured thumb cradles on the side, but no button therein.

Does anyone know of a mouse with a thumb-clickable button?

Regards, Bob

If you use their driver software you can program all five buttons (including that thumb button). I've personally never tried it; I heard about it a couple years ago and wondered if it was a gimmick or not. Personally, if I was having mouse-hand trouble, I would probably give it a shot. It certainly looks interesting.

Thanks for pointer.

I saw Evoluent in the Dogpile searches, but I didn't notice the thumb button.

I'm not sure the vertical "handshake" position is better than the palm-down position. When I toss my hand onto the table, it lands palm down.

Has anyone tried the Evoluent?
