Why it's best:
Evoluent has gone to the drawing board too many times to count, but they produced a remarkable specimen when this hit stores. This mouse has been completely reshaped to ensure a better fit for the wide range of hand sizes out there. Rather than fiddling with a big tracking ball, you get security in an optical scroll wheel that clicks its way up and down to increase accuracy. You can even let your pinky relax on a uniquely put spot, so you’re not dragging any loose fingers across your desk. It’s built to relieve the stress and strain that your hands’ nerves and tendons usually go through during lengthy periods at the pc. Outside of all-out physical comfort, this mouse is particularly easy on the eyes, and its motions are nearly identical to those of a traditional mouse, so that you transition effortlessly. There are pros, and there are inevitable cons; unfortunately for this mouse, there are 2 cons. Some of the buttons can be a little stiff, so watch out. There is also another step that Mac users have to go through to use this device. All you have to do is download a 3rd party driver and you’re all set. Other than that, this mouse beats out the rest by a long shot.
