Trackbar Emotion

I have previously had a Trackbar Emotion mouse and it wore out. I used a normal mouse for a while but it was affecting my hand, wrist, arm and shoulder. I am so glad to have this Trackbar mouse back and the pain I was experiencing is slowly subsiding.
I agree that the pointer used to occasionally speed across the screen which was a little irritating, however the new one I am using seems to have more control.
I would recommend it.

I bought a Trackbar Emotion for use at home. At work I have use of a Contour RollerMouse, but the Trackbar Emotion is a more affordable option for less intensive home use. The Trackbar removes the need for a large arm movement between mouse and keyboard. Compared with the Contour equivalents, the Emotion pads for resting ones hands are smaller and have a hard surface. It's fine for an hour or so, but I wouldn't want to be using it all day in an office.

As noted by another reviewer, one irritation is for the pointer to occasionally flick across the screen in response to very little movement of the roller. On the other hand, the roller on the Trackbar Emotion has relatively limited travel and it can take several attempts to get the pointer across the screen when one intends to. The Trackbar Emotion is quite an old design now, from a time before high resolution wide screens were common.

I bought this because I started to get pain with my mouse hand, i do alot mouse work and typing all day, and this has helped ease my pain to my right hand, so I am really happy with the product.

This Trackbar Emotion was ordered for a member of staff, who is missing muscle from her arm, after an operation. She really loves it and how it has helped her work, as she was having trouble with a normal mouse. She would highly recommend it for anyone suffering arm pain.

This is the second Trackbar I've had. i have been using one for about 6-7 years supplied by my company owing to some wrist pain occasionally developing from using a conventional mouse. the centre wheel has finally given up so I bought my own this time. It's great because almost no-one else in the office can use it!
The only irritation is the way it occasionally flicks across the screen or between screens if I try and hover too near the corners. otherwise I love it and it avoids any sign of RSI.
