Is it easy to click or stiff? I have arthritis and after awhile if it is hard to click it causes pain.

I don't think it is particularly stiff. It is smaller than a regular mouse, so I expect it would depend on how you rest your hand on it and how much you use it.

This is a small mouse and I presume it should be harder to click with than with a full size mouse. If you have a problem with hands/fingers I think a bigger one should be more comfortable.

About the same. My hand issues make it easy on point-click but any hold - drag has learning curve.

I know exactly what your talking about. Mine kinda did the same thing. Try rotating the knuckle the full 180 degress a few times and it should loosen a little bit. I think it will always feel a little stiff.

No Easy to do Data Entry and yet supports the thumb and wrist - I have arthritis and it helps a lot!!

Difficult to respond when I don't know where the pain was. I have found that over-using it can cause pain, but not after just a few minutes. You may be leaning into it too strongly; try leaning into it only lightly until you get a sense of the pressure that is just right for you.

You do need to press and hold. It is sensitive and does not need much pressure. I understand regarding arthritis.

Don't buy this one. I don't have arthritis and it is kind of tough for me....

I also have arthritis and it is a little difficult. I use a butter knife to open.

No - it's very clicky in each of the four directions, and slightly sticky. I've found that even just using it as arrow keys is difficult, w.r.t. getting precise motion.

My wife does and she has arthritis in her thumbs. Makes loading easy for her.

Hey there. It's a bit stiff. I've had mine for 4 months and I'm still breaking it in. So short answer: No, not initially.

It is not as easy as it should be. It is one of the worst middle click actions Ive ever used. I think the tilting action of the wheel makes up for this though.

To be honest, I never thought much about pressure to operate this mouse. I guess it's because it works effortlessly for me. I don't click on the wheel too often but noticed it takes just a slight more "effort" than the left and right. Although, the clicking sound is a non-issue for me, I do notice the wheel click is a hair "louder". I've used this mouse for over three months and have found it to be perfect for what I needed/wanted: mobility and functionally accurate. Hope that helps.

I think it depends on how bad your arthritis is. As Kimberlee said, you must simultaneously slide a button back & lift up the entire gate. If it's hard for you to squeeze your hand/make a fist, it might be difficult for you to lift up the gate. It's not particularly heavy, but can be awkward.

The buttons are pretty stiff and sometimes, after not using for a while, I have to almost break them in. It's like a got to break through the crude around it before it starts working. But it's never come to the point where I get tired or anything. I guess it's better too stiff than too sensitive.

I am 86 and use both the touch screen and a mouse. Because of arthritis in my hands, I use a Logitech Marble mouse that does not have be moved around. The marble ball moves the cursor and the clickers are not as sensitive to touch. With a regular mouse, it is almost impossible for me to double click successfully.

Honestly it's quite easy on the hands for me but that's with mild arthritis. The plastic is made of a hard concentrate so winding it is relatively very easy and effortless. I would think even someone with arthritic hands would find it bearable... now rheumatoid might be a different story but then again even an automatic grinder is hard to even push a button for someone with rheumatoid.
