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.

The middle click is solid. It's wont accidentally click while scrolling. It's not stiff either. It's feels really good. I should tell you though that if you are using Ubuntu you will need to remap the buttons i.e. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as the Windows button mapping won't work out of the box for Linux.

Absolutely. Had hand and wrist pain daily from mouse use/clicking and have been using it for about a month now and haven't had any mouse-use pain for a while now.

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

It took me a while to get used to it. I did have some pain in both my knee and shin. After I got used to it or "broke it in" I didn't have any really pain.

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.

It has very clicky feelings. But that does not bother me. It is very low level and feel kind of steps.You can set the number of lines scrolled by each step. However consider buying insurance if you buy thismouse. Simple web search will show you (including me) that mouse fails after 8/9 months. Specially the left/right buttons.Logitech customer service never responds to anything.

Yes, is FAR stiffer than most machines. I used to use the touchpad 'click', but now i use a mouse with this laptop or the touchscreen in some cases

hmmm, it has a soft click, not as loud as some -- I really don't notice it. The click is not sharp like many keyboards, but soft.

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.

The button would be pushed in by your index or your pointer finger and is fairly easy to push in. You do need your thumb to support/hold the bottle while pushing. If your arthritis is severe then it may be hard to do.

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.

It's a little stiff, but very moveable. I have arthritis in both hands and can easily operate this device.

The knife doesn't have a thumb indent alongside the blade, so you have to get a fingernail in the seam to open it. Not hard but a pain. To close, you need to push in the retaining bar that locks the blade in place. Again, not hard, but a little more effort than opening. I'm 62 with slightly arthritic hands and generally have no problem opening or closing.

I would say it is about as stiff as the two side buttons, maybe a slight bit harder to press, but very similar. It is not difficult to press down, but I also do not find myself accidentally clicking it either. I use it 9+ hours a day, as I purchased it for work and have not had any issues with any of the buttons.

Dear Jc:Well you do turn the device and that is not hard, I had to watch that I didn't get my fingers near the blade. You really have to turn the veggies and hold onto the device..there is a top and it says that it helps push the veggies down, but I did not find that to be true...I use it without the top...I guess with the arthritis it would be easier to use than a knife..oh by the way check out utube videos of soft yoga exercises for your arthritis..i found it very helpful to keep my joints from freezing up. good luck...

my hand naturally rests in a place that's very easy to click. the vertical mid-point is where it's easiest to press all the buttons. i find it actually conditions me to keep a better hand position.
