Contour Rollermouse Red | Award Winning Ergonomic Mouse | Computer Mouse with Wrist Rest | 7 Buttons | 2400DPI | For Windows and Mac

This is a great mouse at alleviating shoulder and hand pain for me. Having a mouse in front of me, without having to stretch to the side to use it is so much more comfortable. It does take a bit of getting used to, but I would not be without it now. This particular model is a replacement for an older version of the same Contour Roller Mouse I had been using for about 20 years - it helped so much with alleviating the pain I had in my arm and shoulder whilst working at my desk that I bought this new one without hesitation to replace it when it wore out. This is even better than my original model, it is more responsive and, being wireless, so much easier to use, helping to keep my desk clear of wires. The battery seems to last for ages too, I only need to charge it every few weeks. It is absolutely superb in my opinion and a worthwhile investment which I hope will last me years, just like my original model did.

This is my second rollermouse pro - my previous one was well over 10years old before it gave up. The new version has a nice tactile “nobbly” roller which feels very precise. The wireless version works well - with the charging via an included usb cable that slots in the side. The cursor speed button works as the indicator of battery state - see video. Initial press of button gives cursor speed which can be adjusted - it then flicks to a 5 colour status from red to green to show how the battery is doing- the charge seems to last well over a week of 40+hr use. Really pleased with it - as per the previous one I had - this is a fantastic ergonomic aid to stop shoulder/wrist/neck pain and numbness. I only hope this one lasts as long as the previous one!

I purchased this to help with trigger finger in my right forefinger, unsurprisingly the finger I use every day to click my ergonomic mouse. I purchased this in April when my finger was so painful that surgery was looking like a probable solution. My finger is now 98% back to normal. The combination of using this mouse, massaging out the painful nodule and wearing a night split has really paid off. I no longer wear the split and rarely massage the area because there is no pain. Absolutely love this roller mouse, so easy to use and doesn't take any time to get used to. I just hope it's life span is long due to the heavy price tag. High recommend.

I spend hours each day at a desktop computer, primarily coding and maintaining databases. I am 55 years old and have had issues in the past with wrist and finger problems from repetitive working with a mouse and keyboard and I am always looking out for ways to reduce this strain. I saw this on Amazon and purchased to see if it could further help reduce the discomfort experienced after regular 12 hour days at the computer. First impressions were really good - although the whole set-up is vastly different to using a normal desktop mouse, anyone who also uses a laptop trackpad will find this item very easy to get used to. The build quality is excellent and the overall user experience was really very good. It was immediately recognised when plugged into a KVM switch and worked almost flawlessly on both Windows and MacOS. The buttons are very well placed for ease of use and the rollerbar is smooth and accurate. The scroll wheel is one of the nicest and most fluid that I have ever used. However, there was one flaw that I couldn't get around and ultimately caused me to return this item within 48 hours of receiving. TBH, if the product was much less expensive I may have persevered longer, but a price of slightly over £350 means this is a VERY expensive mouse and needs to be perfect to justify that price. I found on multiple occasions that when scrolling horizontally on either a browser page or a DB management screen, if the scroll was extensive the cursor would suddenly scroll rapidly and completely uncommanded off of the right hand side of the monitor. A few times would have been inconvenient but when this happened multiple times in a few minutes, it became a situation where the product was unusable for me. It is a great pity as it was very comfortable to use in all other scenarios and certainly meant arm and wrist movement was reduced significantly by not having to leave the area of the keyboard every time a mouse input was required. I will keep my eye on this product and hope that in future it becomes more reliable for my particular use-case.

Works really well. My wife has one at work, so this was bought for her to use at home. She loves it.

This mouse provides great functionality and ease of use for someone with RSI/limited hand and finger movements. Other mouse devices have been tried previously but this one is by far the best. Though more expensive than other mice, it is worth the money.

I bought this item because i have a disability with my right shoulder. Il works perfectly. It is very easy to get used of it. Thanks to it I have less pain, there is no need anymore to hold permanently your regular mouse. Thou I disconnected it. I was lucky to find a discounted one (225€ instead of 400€), it is quite expensive but it worth it I think.

I got this mouse since my old one is a PRO 2 from and I have used it for years. With the current lockdown and WFH, the copy and paste short cut buttons are not working with my home computer and the hand rest cover's materials are coming off bit and bits, I thought I treat myself to a model upgrade. I was happy to pay for the wireless function and the slim profile of the red model. It works but with snags. 1. Drifting when using the bar. It seems have a mind of its own. Won't stop or won't move from time to time. 2. The control software feels out of date. Not very precise when it comes to control the setting. 3. Poor instruction. It's laughable how simple the instruction leaflet it comes with. Still don't understand how to change the setting reading it a lot of times. I didn't have to get used to its setting since this is my second one. At this price point I would expect it be better than now. Oh, why not make it blue tooth compatible?

Great product, high quality, eliminated shoulder pain from desk work

zum arbeiten sehr gut geeignet. die zielgenauigkeit im vergleich zu meiner vorherigen maus ist genau so gut oder sogar besser. an die handhabung gewöhnt man sich nach ein paar wochen, so das doppelklicks, die anfangs etwas schwer von der hand gingen, ohne zu verrutschen, nun ganz natürlich ausgeführt werden können. es ist sehr angenehm, nicht immer die hand 30cm zwischen tastatur und maus hin und her bewegen zu müssen. als softwareentwickler arbeite ich 10 stunden täglich am pc und führe da diese bewegung mehrere hunderte male am tag durch. Kein wunder, dass das irgendwann verspannungen und schlimmeres verursachen kann. die rollermouse ist also auch für poweruser unbedingt zu empfehlen! Auch meine bedenken, das ich mit meiner bildschirmflächenbreite von 3x2560 pixeln probleme bekommen würde, haben sich nicht bewahrheitet. nach etwas hin und her mit der sensitivität habe ich nun eine gute einstellung gefunden. als gut hat sich auch der doppeltklick-button bewährt. ein doppelklick aktiviert in meiner entwicklungsumgebung gewisse funktionen, die man oft braucht. statt also 2x zu clicken drück man nur einmal bequen den knopf. das spart täglich ebenfalls hunderte klicks und ist sehr bequem, hätte ich nicht gedacht.

Il y a un an et demi, j'ai commencé à ressentir des fourmillements dans les doigts, une faiblesse général dans la prise en main (je lâchais les choses que je pensais tenir et me trouvais de plus en plus maladroite). Les mois passant, j'ai ressenti de grosses douleurs aux articulations dans les deux mains le matin au réveil : impossible de fermer les poings avant plusieurs minutes. J'ai consulté et on a suspecté de l'arthrose ou de l'arthrite mais les examens étaient négatifs. Suite à une visite à la médecine du travail, un simple petit coup de marteau à réflexes sur mes poignets ont suffit pour diagnostiquer le syndrome du canal carpien. J'ai alors essayé d'analyser les gestes répétitifs pouvant en être la cause : l'utilisation de la souris toute la journée au travail. J'ai commencé à porter des attelles la nuit ce qui est reconnu pour soulager et j'ai acheté une souris verticale. Les attelles soulageaient la douleur au réveil mais elle était toujours là. La souris verticale ne semblait pas avoir de gros impact. J'ai décidé d'investir dans une souris ergonomique : la roller mouse. Dernière tentative avant d'envisager de reconsulter car les symptômes s'accentuaient et j'ai dû renoncer au tricot, au jardinage, au coloriage, etc... car tout cela participait à amplifier la douleur. J'ai utilisé la Roller Mouse durant 3 semaines avec les patins pour surélever le clavier : pas d'amélioration, voire plus de douleurs qu'avant. J'ai fini par ôter les patins. Et en deux semaines, plus de douleurs le matin au réveil dans les doigts. Je continue de porter les attelles la nuits mais j'ai retrouver de la force, plus de maladresses, et plus de douleurs. J'ai repris le tricot et le coloriage, pas plus de douleurs ! Une vraie libération ! Alors si vous souffrez du canal carpien et travaillez beaucoup à la souris, l'investissement n'est pas anodin mais pour moi les résultats ont dépassé mes espérances !

Il est tres intéressant d'apprendre a travailler avec la rollermousse. J'ai eu d'une semaine d'adaptation, mais j'apprecie de pouvoir travailler avec les deux mains et faire en sorte de diminuer les tensions du bras droit habituellement tres sollicité.

Wow! Honestly, I said that out loud the first time I used the RollerMouse Red. This mouse is beyond imaginable expectations. It is butter-smooth, precise, customizable, and solidly built with unrivaled professional quality. I purchased the RollerMouse Red via Amazon from Contour Design, and it was promptly mailed and arrived on the fifth day. I chose the Red over the Red Plus because I didn’t like the idea of reaching that extra two inches or so to my keyboard, especially given that my Kinesis keyboard already increases the reach to the keys by about three inches beyond that of a regular keyboard. I have large hands, and despite recommendations that people with larger hands should get the Red Plus, the RollerMouse Red is a perfect fit for me. Some people have asked if the RollerMouse Red works with the Kinesis Advantage Keyboard, and I read that at least one person could not use it with the Kinesis. I bought the Kinesis Advantage MPC/USB keyboard at the same time I bought the RollerMouse Red. I use both devices with a Windows 7, 64 bit system. I find the two devices to be a perfect match, but I acknowledge I don’t position the RollerMouse Red as specified in the user manual. I assume that the advice to position the RollerMouse so the rollerbar is slightly below the keyboard spacebar may be intended to satisfy some ergonomic rule, but I use the RollerMouse Red without keyboard risers so it sits flat on the desktop, pushed right up against the front of the Kinesis keyboard. The rollerbar is so sensitive and responsive that I can use it to block text or move the cursor from one side of my two 27-inch monitors to the other side with minimal finger movement and without caring if the front edge of the keyboard abuts the RollerMouse aluminum housing. (The aluminum housing touches the Kinesis keyboard body, but the rollerbar itself is about 1/8 of an inch away from it at the edges and 3/16 of an inch away from it at the center because the keyboard has a concave front edge.) By having the roller bar sitting below the top edge of the Kinesis keyboard, I also don’t have the problem of accidentally clicking the roller bar. In this position, I also have no interference when using the middle, rubber-ridged scroll wheel for scrolling through documents or web pages. The scroll wheel is, itself, a pleasure to use—precise, fast, and perfectly sized–much more comfortable to use than that on a regular mouse. It’s actually my favorite feature because I spend a lot of time scrolling within documents. I use both right and left hands with the scroll wheel, but the rollerbar and all the buttons easily can accommodate ambidextrous use for those who may have injured a dominant upper extremity. I use the RollerMouse Red with mostly factory default settings. I adjusted the cursor acceleration to the first stop to accommodate my caffeine-induced hand shaking! I also customized the middle, rubber-ridged scroll wheel “click” so that instead of being a “scroll lock,” it mutes my system sound. You may need to download and install the drivers to make these customizations. I was puzzled that the drivers don’t appear to be advertised, but they are at the ergo.contour-design website: http://ergo.contour-design.com/support-and-downloads/drivers You can also find video reviews and other links at their website. Many months ago, I had to switch from the DasKeyboard to a Filco TenKeyless keyboard to be able to use my mouse without pain. At that time, I also bought a 2014 Razer Naga mouse. Using both of these devices cured my right arm/hand pain, but recently, my left wrist became painful, so I began searching for a new keyboard and stumbled across the Kinesis Advantage. The learning curve for that is another story, but between it and the RollerMouse Red, I am now pain free for my 8- to 12-hour typing days. I know from learning to type on the Kinesis keyboard and learning to use the RollerMouse Red during the same time span that learning curves vary between devices. I anticipate a full month before I master the Kinesis keyboard, but the RollerMouse Red took just a few minutes before I could use it efficiently, and by the end of the first day, I was proficient. Most of the “learning” is learning not to reach for the regular mouse! Quite a few reviewers have remarked that the RollerMouse Red is expensive. It isn’t. Pain and lack of productivity are expensive. Doctor visits are expensive. Physical therapy and surgery are expensive. If you’re at the point of considering those, try this first. I was not asked to write this review, and I have no financial interest in the company. It’s just that I rarely have found such a high quality product. The company that builds something like this, infusing it with the quality found here, must be encouraged to continue doing so.
