Ok, speedy delivery... Got my Citlla L360 with the stainless steel track wheel. Trackwheel also goes side to side which is interesting. Anyway very repsonsive. Top lifts off to get to the live mouse on a resperator and the batteries. And the usb dongle thing. So yea its nice enough probably would bought it even full $25. Well if I had known it was that nice. Now just a question of longevity.

This mouse looks nice for me and my needs.

Can you please make a comment about is size (cms).
I have a big hand, and I don't feel comfortable with small mice (for my needs, the bigger the better, haha)

Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.

Seems like full size mouse to me, but sure I can measure it sometime today and get back. I can live with a smaller mouse if its shaped right, but prefer a full size one. Usually only advantage of compact mouse is you can put it in your pocket. But sure some people have small hands and need small mouse.

I had never heard of this brand, but the price (even the full price) seems low for the quality. So maybe they are trying to build their brand. Giving more bang for the buck is good way to do that. Then again it might die in two weeks, never really know until you've owned it for a while.

Oh here they gave dimensions in the ad copy: Mouse size: 4.6 inches x 2.6 inches x 1.6 inches (117 mm x 67 mm x 41 mm)

Oh here is youtube of some guy reviewing the rechargeable version, looks like mine only mine uses two AA batteries and his is rechargeable. Frankly if as claimed the batteries last 3 year, not sure there is any advantage to rechargeable. Seem to be same price too.

HA! You reminded me.

I have a rechargeable mouse that works with or without the USB charging cable plugged in that I use to use with a laptop I retired some years ago. I wonder where that mouse is??? It was a mini-mouse (about half the size of a normal-big mouse). I never had issues with it at all. It was comfortable to use, as I remember. Tomorrow will look in my box full of mice for the bag.

I used to purposively look for devices that used AA (or AAA) rather than rechargeable since the latter die sooner or later whereas you can buy AA or AAA most anywhere, and can carry spares for when no charger available (ok, solar has changed things a bit), and easy enough to get rechargeable versions.

I got this just to try it.
Took a little time to get used to it, but it is really a great way to hold a mouse.

Palm grip designed mouse.

It may *feel* great, but once you use it for a longer period of time you will discover that it can cause serious health problems.
Reminds me of my "Colani" designer mouse. Seemingly perfect grip. Problem is that you can't move it with your finger tips. In addition to risking carpal tunnel syndrome (I had it. not nice!) you will put also more stress on your shoulder because you will move your arm more than with a conventional mouse.

I am not having any of these issues you talk about.

Maybe you do not understand exactly how you hold it and move it around.

It moves side to side by just flexing the wrist. And it is moving the wrist in the natural way it moves, if going up down motion. Only the hand is at an angle, so it moves the mouse side to side.
Yes It can be moved with only the fingers.

Maybe the picture is not correctly showing the actual position of the hand around the mouse and the fact that the side with the buttons is curved in the shape of the palm of the hand.

Relax your arm bent at the elbow, so the hand is on top of the table in a relaxed position.

The hand will be at an angle and this mouse is setup for that angle of the hand and the finger positions.

The part sticking up is not straight up it is at an angle.
