Hippus L2WB-LC Wired Light Click Handshoe Mouse (Right Hand, Large, Black)

Finding a true ergonomic left hand mouse is a big challenge. I finally found this one and am at last comfortable. Forget vertical "handshake" mice, and any flat mouse that claims ergo is lying to you. However, there are some caveats you should know: 1. The large is huge. My hand met the minimum requirement for large but I had to return it for a medium which is just about right. Too bad because I initially saved $20 getting one used form Amazon Warehouse Deals. Only get the large if your hands are massive. 2. The large has 3 buttons vs 2 on medium and small. The 2nd and 3rd finger buttons are opposite of what you expect and it cannot be changed. No settings or software fixed this, I had to live with pressing the wrong button all the time. But due to size I had to send it back so no longer an issue. 3. You will want to try out a low friction gaming mouse pad. I had a nice 3M pad but there was too much friction making precision work maddening. There was just a bit too much stick in the pads, even after removing the 210g of weights. Elevating the wrist with the chair armrest alleviated this. 4. They could easily give you a thumb button or two but they do not. So for nearly $100 you get bottom line basic mouse functions. The upside is it will work with any PC or Mac without additional drivers which is probably the reason for lack of programmable buttons. None of the nitpicks are worthy of knocking a star. I am very thankful to have a true left and ergo mouse. It could be improved with lower friction pads and a couple programmable buttons, but it is the best left hand ergo mouse available.

Highly recommend especially for users with thumb/CMC joint pain. Really takes pressure off thumb and that joint!

The HandShoe mouse does allow me to work long hours at the computer with no hand or arm pain. The problem is that after using it for about a month, I have been developing pain in my right shoulder. I am giving it a 4 star rating because this problem may be due to my physiology (37 sleeve length). To test my hypothesis that the HandShoe was causing should pain, I switched back to my old Evoluent Vertical Mouse for a week. The shoulder pain went away and I suspect that the root of the issue is that my shoulder moves more/differently controlling a mouse using a palm down vs. hand shake position. While the Evoluent Vertical Mouse doesn't cause me pain (a big plus) it has some issues of its own. I was looking for alternatives because the Evoluent 3 has a problem where the scroll wheel delaminates from the control wheel. The outer wheel turns when you scroll, but the inner wheel only turns intermittently. After some trial and error, I was able to fix this with super glue. The Evoluent 4 has a problem where the silver coating flakes off. The flakes are messy and it looks terrible (but still works).

This is probably one of the most interesting computer mouse's I have ever come across. It took me about 6 years to find a proper mouse to support my hand in general. I do a lot of Graphic Design work and computer work in general and I have to strain my hand just to use other mouse's. I've bought other mouse's like the trackball ones, and even a gaming mouse. Every mouse before that I have issues with and even in some of my classes when I try to use an Apple mouse; it does not help at all either. I've done a fair amount of research and only happened to discover the handshoemouse now. I wish I would have found it sooner. It's so hard to find a computer mouse that's dedicated on not just high quality performance; but dedicated towards hand size and specific needs of the person. I am also physically disabled, so its even harder to try and use any other mouse out there as well as have a specific kind of mouse for someone like myself. I ordered a large handshoemouse because I knew for sure I would need a big mouse to grasp the entire area of it and not just half. I also don't like how mouse's now are so small and sit so low to the table. To have your fingers rub against surfaces in general all the time and having to strain my hand is tiring and painful. The handshoemouse sits pretty nicely off the surface from where you are using it from. It is described as mentioned and functions like its supposed to. It does not feel awkward at all, it puts your entire hand in a snug position and allows your hand and part of your arm to relax quite a bit. I do not regret this purchase and I hope more mouse's like the handshoemouse are made for many people who are in need of a truly supportive mouse. It's a really great idea that needs more advertisement out there from the business and marketing worlds in general.

I was having very severe wrist problems so I got this mouse (wired version, large size) and installed it. But it did not work correctly. It would only work in certain programs and did not scroll correctly. I tried it on 2 other computers and still it did not work correctly so it ended up sitting in a drawer for a while. My wrist problems got much worse so I tried to return it but it was past the return date. So I tried to get it covered under warranty from Hippus directly. They were very nice and very responsive. They were curious what the problem was and so they offered to replace the mouse if I would send in the old one. My wife was having wrist problems too and that came up in the discussion. Instead of one, Hippus sent us 2 mice free of charge in exchange for the damaged one. It turned out the USB connector was mangled. The new mice worked flawlessly and better yet after only a few weeks using it my pain went away. Yes it takes a bit to get used to but it is well worth it to no longer have elbow, wrist and forearm pain. Thank you Hippus for making an excellent product and thank you for taking care of us above and beyond on damaged mouse. You have made me and my wife very happy customers.

I've been trying to find solutions for my hands for months, and went to an arthritis site and found this mouse. Yes, it's huge and I knew that. What I wasn't anticipating was that it made things harder. This is clearly not for someone who actually works regularly with their hands. For those with arthritis, it would be great for web-surfing and basic computer work, but not things like spreadsheets and frequent changes of location or frequent clicks. Not worth the cost.

I purchased this mouse for my wife who does Zoom meetings all day, every day for work. She developed significant hand pain after a year and was wearing various wrist supports, none of which resolved the problem. I purchased a few different “ergonomic “ mice with no success until I found the Handshoe mouse. Within weeks of using this mouse, the wrist supports were gone as well as the pain. Now more than a year later my wife continues to use this mouse without pain or any discomfort. Truly a unique and practical approach to eliminating the stress associated with using a mouse on a regular basis.

The muscles in my forearm were on fire and the skin on the back of my hand was going numb. I bought an Evolent and it worked somewhat, but not enough. I was getting scared and went to a specialist who gave me stretching exercises and a heavy elastic band to compress the muscles just below the elbow. Didn't work. This mouse did. I can drop my hand in it and relax every muscle below the elbow. Movement is controlled by the upper arm, which I don't find clumsy at all. I only flex my fingers when I'm actually clicking. The rest of the time I let my fingers drape over the palm-filling hump without fear I will accidentally click the buttons. The most immediate benefit is to the large muscles of the forearm. Getting the pain completely out of the wrist and back of the hand takes longer, but the distraction from the pain goes way down right away. I got the large model, although my hands are only medium-that worked well for me. I know we are all individual in our reactions to things, but if you are in pain, this is worth trying.

I had wrist surgery following ligament damage, so I needed a proven ergonomic mouse design that would ease wrist pressure, particularly during design work, which is very heavy on my wrist. I've been using the mouse for a week now and it definitely works. However, I do think it's very expensive, but that said, I don't know how much was spent researching the product and if it saves my wrist from re-injury then it's money well spent. My main grip with the product though is the lack of a hard carrying case. I have to carry mine in a rucksack on a daily basis and the pathetic fabric case it comes with provides little if any protection. Coming in at over £100, it should come with a decent hard case that actually protects it.

Can't believe I never thought of buying one before. Very comfortable to use and reduced the pain in my hand and arm so I can use my Mac Pro again. Delivery was very quick and would recommend seller.

C’est ma deuxième, je ne m’en séparerai pour rien au monde. Il y a un petit temps d’adaptation. mais alors que j’avais de grosse douleur dans le poignet, celles ci ont disparu en 1 semaine. La première a durée 8 ans j’espère que celle ci fera pareil.

Die Maus war kurz vor Ablauf der Garantie (1 Jahr) defekt, zwar noch nutzbar, aber es nervte sehr, dass öfters Doppelklicks erfolgten, statt einem einfach Klick. Nicht konsequent bei jedem Klick, aber immer wieder. Dadurch passierten unkontrolliert einige Fehler bei der Anwendung, man schloss 2 Fenster, änderte Einstellungen im Mailprogramm usw. Der Service und die Garantieleistungen waren aber einwandfrei. Die Maus wurde zunächst repariert, nachdem dann jedoch ein anderer Fehler aufgetreten ist, bekam ich eine nagelneue Maus. Die Portokosten zum Hersteller musste ich zwar auslegen (nach Niederlande), bekam es aber nach Erinnerung wieder erstattet. Der Kontakt mit dem Support ist zwar in englisch, aber stets freundlich und hat schnell geantwortet. Zum Produkt selbst, es ist auch nach längerer Benutzung von etwa einem Jahr etwas ungewohnt so eine große Maus zu haben. Ich muss aber sagen, dass das gehalten wird, was versprochen wird. Die Schmerzen in der Hand bzw. Arm waren so gut wie weg. Schon nach wenigen Wochen mit einer anderen Maus hatte ich die Schmerzen wieder. Ich werde deshalb weiter, zumindest abwechselnd immer wieder die Hippus einsetzen. Was mir nicht so gefällt ist, dass dadurch das die Maus so groß ist, kann ich damit bei weitem nicht so schnell arbeiten wie mit einer Logitech MX 518 oder der Sharkoon Drakonia. Das ist der Grund, warum ich die Hippus nicht ständig nutze, sondern immer wieder wechsele bevor die Schmerzen stärker werden.

It arrived a couple of days sooner than expected. This is my third HandShoe Mouse, they last about 4+ years of daily (8 to 10 hrs) use. Make sure when you get yours that you measure your hand correctly.
