A Must Try - Especially if You Have Wrist Pain
I absolutely love this mouse. I tried every type of ergonomic mouse on the market and none of them seemed to help my wrist pain until I stumbled across this brand and this mouse!! Instant relief and now I am pain free after using my mouse over 6 hours a day. Strongly recommend this product!!!

Surprisingly great
I recently was diagnosed with mild/moderate carpal tunnel, and that has involved me changing a lot of my computing habits. This mouse seemed absolutely ridiculous, but I though it would be worth trying. I am incredibly impressed! It really is as natural as they say! You just rest your fingers on the mouse. It's about halfway between using a mouse and holding a pen.This mouse is incredibly light, which puts less stress on your hands. Going between this and my old mouse is night and day; my old mouse was about average weight, maybe a little heavier, but now it feels like an absolute brick compared to this!The biggest drawback is the lack of features. I'm not expecting a built-in numberpad on a mouse the size of a golf ball, but I though a middle mouse button would be standard by now. There's also no way to adjust the DPI within the mouse itself, so you'll have to tweak it on all your machines. It's definitely zippier than I'd like, but the fact that it's small means most of your movement is microadjustments anyway so it's something you get used to pretty quickly.The multi-pairing works, but I wish there were an easy way to change the pair order. Also annoying is that the charging dongle isn't also a wireless receiver: you need to buy that separately. I get that pretty much everyone uses Bluetooth these days but still. Speaking of Bluetooth, the sleep/wake-up time is a little annoying, but usually only a few seconds to wake up at the most after a few minutes of inactivity. I noticed the lag maybe one out of every ten times.The travel case is amazing. Solid hardshell, plenty of foam padding.All in all, I recommend it, but I really hope they release an improved version.

GREAT mouse for travel and non-travel!
A beautifully engineered compact mouse. Relieves my tennis elbow because it doesn't require the extreme forearm pronation of the trackpads on my laptop. Crazily compact. Very convenient charging adaptor.Only drawback - it took a little bit to acclimatize myself to the right button being behind the left mouse button. But that was a temporary set-back.

Ultimately disappointing
My wife has incipient carpal tunnel, and I had hoped this might alleviate some of her symptoms. To some extent it did (she had previously been using a "vertical" style mouse for years), but here the hassles eventually outweighed the benefits. I in turn used it for a few weeks with the same impressions.Installation (Bluetooth connectivity in Win10) went fairly well; however, the documentation says to press the "front button", when in fact it's the "right click" (there is no "front button"). A minor nuisance. It took Win two tries to connect (BT 5).At that point... well, we've both been using some version of a standard mouse since they were created, Win 3.1. After that long you just get used to holding a mouse, intuitively knowing where the various buttons are -- back in the day, the scroll wheel and center button were usability godsends -- especially the right/left buttons, putting my middle finger to use (I do a lot of Context Menu selections). Moving, too, is a matter of letting my little finger and thumb drag on the mouse pad, to slow things down and give me some smoothness. I hope you know what I mean.But I simply could not get the hang of this tiny gizmo. Shifting my index finger forward, backward, sideways for all three functions -- left / right / scroll -- was especially tedious. (I have big hands.) And I could never master the precision I could get with any given standard mouse, despite modifying the mouse's sensitivity. Maybe I'm just too old to learn to play a new instrument. Especially when the advantages are merely claimed. (NB : I did not use any of their software.)The final straw was this device's tendency to lose the BT connection. Win 10, both BT 4 and 5 masters. Roughly every three days or so, my wife would yell for me to come fix the SwiftPoint. (I think she could do it herself, just wanted me to know how the test was going.) She didn't mind learning the new operations as much as I -- she plays piano, so it's probably easier. But its instability got to her, and she abandoned it. Same thing happened to me.Anyway, for $89, a thing that is otherwise sold prolifically and inexpensively really has to jump out and say, "You need this style and will love it!". Arguable here on both counts, sadly.

Tentative review more to come!
I have not been able to get this to work with my laptop (trying to free up a usb port) and have failed. I have been trying to diagnose it but have come to the conclusion its not the device but my laptop and more specifically my BT stack and windows 7. I refuse to put 10 on this machine its too important. I don't have anything else with bluetooth. I WILL have a win 10 bt machine shortly though and will try connecting it to that and will update the review when I do this.I am leaving a review on the assumption the the issues is my machine (very few things will connect to it so pretty sure its my end not the device I can't even connect headphones to it no a2dp stack)construction feels good. feels well built. I was almost worried about it being too tiny but it fits your hand surprisingly well. though this is hard to determine until I use it for a few hours a few days in a row.More to come!
