Wireless Mice

My index finger is KILLING me. I can't seem to find a good wireless mouse that doesn't require a high bending arch of the index finger to reach the scroll wheel. Does anyone know what I'm talking about??

Any recommendations?
 
I've been using the Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite for two years. The mouse is very ergonomic and feels comfortable during extended use.
 
What do you use now? Try any of the Logitech mice. I've had several and they just require a shift of the index finger to use the wheel. If you need a gaming mouse, look no further than the G7.

Have you tried turning the wheel with your middle finger instead?

I think I'm going to have to start learning how to do this. The tendonitis isn't going to go away.

I own these mice:

Logitech G7 - too bulky (after using notebook mice for so long)
Logitech VX Revolution - buggy. I left click and half the time nothing happens. The scroll wheel also doesn't work half the time I scroll. I think this has to do with it jumping off the clicking rail. Also, it's too high of a hump, the scroll wheel is located too far back and requires my index finger to arch too much to maneuver it.
Logitech Notebook Mouse (corded) - Corded, but nice low profile. No thumb button.
 
The Logitech MX Revolution is nice. The MX mouse wheel jumps off the clicking rail too, but it's supposed to I believe. You can then spin the wheel at a rapid rate and windows scroll at an increased speed.
 
So your problem really is that you want the performance of a desktop wireless gaming mouse with the weight and size of a notebook mouse...
Sadly, not much can be done about that. I dont know any mice that fit that profile. As for "best of the best" you already have it, the G7.
Have you tried going to BB/Staples/CC or something and just try out different ones? Ofcourse we can't tell you which mouse would work for you, only which ones are good.
