    eh, not for me

    I often scroll while moving my mouse around the window. This mouse won't allow that as you can't use your thumb to grip and move the mouse if it's moving back and forth in order to scroll. I think they over thought the unique angle. Just make it better, instead of trying to re-design the mouse.

    nope

    this mouse is too complicated for mac users. Thats why they only have single button mice as standard equipment on macs. The concept of being able to have a choice of more than 1 button or {gasp} a wheel would permanently damage the users brain.

    Not a new "angle"

    The perfit has had this "unique angle" for years, they just wanted to add a scroll wheel and optical pickup.

    don't grip the mouse

    I've tried moving and scrolling at the same time and it actually works quite well. The Perfit mouse doesn't require the "grip" of the thumb to move it around so the thumb is free to scroll if you want.

    no grip on this mouse

    I tried using the Contour Perfit mouse as well and the idea of the mouse is so that you so not have to grip it to move it around. That is why people get pain, from gripping. You can scroll and move the mouse even with this unique angle.
