My index finger is painful & needs relief. Will it give me that? Are there other WowJoy products you'd recommend?

I'm not sure about bringing relief. To me its just like a regular mouse but its turned on its side. This puts less pressure on your wrist. This is the only product I have purchased from wowjoy. I must say that I love the product though.

It will keep your hand in a vertical position, but you will still need to use the left mouse button, perhaps with a different finger. This is designed for wrist relief, so I don't know about finger issues. Take your regular mouse, turn it on its side and try pressing the buttons and using the scroll wheel. That should answer your question.

if by fingertip grip you mean claw grip, mmmm.....well....for my taste in games (shooter) you will have to make an effort. I think the size of the mouse for your hand will be between claw and palm grip, you will just have to accomodate and get use to it

I am a PCs user of from 37 years and I don't know what are finger pain but I haven't used a mechanical keyboard. By the way I love this keyboard and I am a programmer, 12 hours in the daylight and 5 hours in the night per day. I have back pain, sit pain but not finger pain.

Whether you stretch your fingers, or this device stretches them, the effect is the same on your hand. The only advantage with this is you don't have to use your other hand to do the work. Also suggest the ex's in the book "Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis".

I'm not a sophisticated gaming user, but I have a fingertip grip and it works OK for me. Note that the side buttons (on the left side of the mouse) are probably better placed for a palm grip. As with any mouse, you're best off trying it in a store before buying if at all possible.

Your answer is yes it is. Its design and depth is definitely for you. May I suggest purchasing finger ease . It will be probably more comfortable if you are persistent in your endeavor to learn

Yes, just adjust the band to fit your finger. Slide it to your palm side when not needed or to use it with slap motion. I haven't used it in action, fortunately, but it can deliver sting pain that will last for few seconds.

Sorry for the late answer. Yes it has reduced my symptoms greatly after using it for 3 months or so. Keep in mind we are all different what works for one may not work for others. This is not a cure all if you already have severe damage then surgery might be what you need. The pain gradually went away as I used this mouse more each day to the point now that its the only mouse I use. I takes a bit getting used to but it was all well worth it for me. If you require additional information on the mouse in general please let me know. Good luck...be well.

While it is possible to reach all the keys with your thumbs I wouldn't say it is completely comfortable. It's a bit of stretch and I have average to slightly larger than average hands. I would recommend the Perixx periboard 717.. it slightly larger than an older blacberry, the touch pad is actually larger than this 710 and WAY more responsive!! and with designated multimedia keys right at the top is perfect for home theater use.

I bought it for pain and stiffness in my fingers and it helped. just make sure to get the right size. they need to be snug

yes, i had the same cramping problem and this totally helped my hands stay more relaxed. your fingers will curl around the bottom cushion and not the small plastic console. it comes as two pieces, screen cover and finger pad cover. any more questions, let me know.

Ihave Two of the 3M devices, one at work and one at home. Three comments1) the pain in my left forearm and elbo has lessened greatly (love the product) (2) I have had no issues with either device right out of the box, they worked great (3) suggest going to control panel and in the search window (assuming you are on a PC not a Mac) then type in "mouse". Look thru the functions, and reset to your desire bet you can resolve your issue. Have you contacted the seller or manufacturer for assistance? there you havit.

It may help some. I like it better than ones I got from the doctor. They all can limit the movement of your thumb, but for me this one eliminates a good bit of pain.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

As far as trigger finger and my experience-------------no. I had my finger corrected with outpatient surgery. Very simple procedure---works fine now. I use the gloves for relief of the aching I have in my hands from the over use in performing my job. They worked for me in that way---but not for my trigger finger.

Yeah, I bought it for WoW and I can't play without it anymore. It's just too good. I might upgrade to the new one when it comes out though. The cross-pad is my only real complaint. I wish they had rounded the edges a little. Of course, now I have the right callouses to use the thing for hours so it doesn't bother me at all anymore.

I purchased it for back pain and shoulder pain and it is exceptional and relieves the pain, but not sure how it would work on hands.
