Really an excellent product
I have been using this mouse for some weeks at the time of writing. I suffer from some RSI related tendon discomfort from mouse clicking with my middle and fore fingers of my left hand. I tend, with a normal mouse, to flex the whole of my finger from the 3rd knuckle (the one closed to the wrist at the base of my fingers). This mouse has completely eliminated the associated discomfort that I feel in the tendons that control the flexing from the knuckle. It does this by promoting a finger position that encourages the curling of the finger to press the buttons, rather than flexing at one joint. The curling action uses a different set of muscles and tendons and allows the resting of the other tensions and muscles that are the problem. The rest really works as I have been able to use a normal mouse for a day without problems when I have forgetton to pack the penguin. In addition it holds your hand in a neutral position that is good ergonomically. It is a wonderfully designed product and I couldn't go back to a normal mouse now.

Excellent - much better than all sloping mice
The Posturite mouse is excellent for me. I tried with two different sloping mice; these helped with the angle of my wrist, but acted as a wedge to force my thumb into an uncomfortable position which produced strain in my hand which I didn't have before.This is the only mouse I have found which has eased strains in my hand and wrist.Two smaller issues:1) I went for a mouse slightly smaller than recommended, and it's fine for me.2) I am using a slower "Push DPI" speed than I had done before (a button the bottom of the mouse controls this), to enable me to have better control over the mouse pointer for clicking on small buttons and crosses on the screen. At a slower speed, I am able to control the mouse well. I did notice issues with controlling the mouse at faster speeds initially, and I also found that if I put my little finger on the desk beside the mouse base, that gave me more control (and it would be easier if the base were a little smaller); at the slower speed, I don't need to do that.It's more expensive than other mice, but the relief it brings is well worth the price.

Love it. I took to it straight away. Update few odd things happen in Windows 10
Had problems with my hands and wrist that puzzled GP until he got a eureka moment and looked at the pattern of where my pains were and it corresponded to conventional mouse as work long days with one. Researching options I came across the penguin and love it. I took to it straight away. It is so comfortable to hold and does all the mouse functions of click, stroll etc without installing 3rd party software. My daughter likes having a go with it too. I firmly believe a campaign should be started to rid the world of mice and replace them with penguins as here about so many people who have similar problems but have done nothing about it.Update: After the last one broke I went for a cheaper verticle mouse but started getting carpal tunnel and RSI. My work got a postureite workstation assessment for me in my home office. And they recommended giving the penguin another go. So I have been using it again for around 6 months and feel better using it. However what is weird is that on Windows 10 if you keep it plugged in the P still is lit but won't work after the laptop starts up again until you unplug it. Also weird is when you go to use it it needs time to wake up again and the cursor remains still for 2 seconds before starting working.

The quirky ergonomic, just watch out for sizing
As a full time desk worker I can confidently say that this is a great concept, which after a couple of weeks of getting used to, has relieved the hand and wrist pain I was experiencing from using other mouses. If you are suffering any pain or discomfort this is worth a shot.Only warning is watch out for the sizing: I followed their hand measuring advice which brought me out at a large, however this was too big and a strain to use. Amazon's convenient returns policy soon sorted this and the next size down now works perfectly.

Really good for me ... until it wasn't. Twice.
I've used various ergonomic mice, mats, and keyboards for 20+ years, so when I was starting up a new business, with all the computer woman-hours that entails, I put in some serious research to find the best mouse for me, whatever the budget.I ended up plumping for this - mostly because I have small hands, but also partly, I cannot lie, because my inner 6th-form boy got a snigger out of its appearance (the latter wouldn't, of course, have convinced me to buy it had it not been right in all other aspects other than cost, but eh. What can I say? I don't get out as much as I used to, and a bonus snigger is never a bad thing, right?).It did exactly what I needed for a good while - comfortable for my paw, and sufficiently responsive for what I was doing (LOTS of prose typing, much spreadsheet action, website design/content creation, and entry-level video editing).As is so often the way with little tech, though, the charge port went shonky before the mouse itself had. As we all usually do with this particular irritation, I managed to manoeuvre/contort the wire (holding it at EXACTLY the right angle for the duration) to overcome this while charging for several months, until the port eventually gave up the ghost completely. I'd been sufficiently happy with the mouse until then to simply order a replacement, but that's now gone exactly the same way.I know it's not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things, and all tech has a built-in dead-by date, but if I'm paying quite a bit more than the other small-paw option I was considering (Logitech's Lift), I don't expect to have to replace it quite so frequently (first Penguin bought Sep '20; second and-now-also-defunct one bought Feb '23). It's a shame, because I was very happy with my Penguins. Until I wasn't.Based on my experience, I'd say if you've got enough cash sloshing around that having to replace your comfy mouse every couple of years (and for £60 more than the obvious alternative option) isn't a problem, then go for it if your needs are similar to mine.But for me, it's time to say hello to Logitech, and see how I get on. Hopefully I'll get more bang for my buck. My just-ordered Lift won't elicit the sniggers which this design has when visitors clock my mouse, but I'll happily live with that if it means not having to splash out for replacements so frequently.

Brilliant
Invested in this after my carpal tunnel came back, it has made a real difference and is very easy to use!

Precisa saber o tamanho certo da mão
São 3 tamanhos, precisa saber qual se encaixa em sua mão. Mão grande ficará ruim no small, assim como mão pequena não ficará confortável no large.

Very good with one issue
Very straightforward to use. Just plug and play. Rechargeable. Very comfortable to hold. Can be used with left or right hand in one device. One issue is the right click button where I would use my middle finger is too high. It’s higher than my natural placement of the finger, so each time I feel like I have a second delay as I have to consciously move my finger up to right click. It can be annoying as you mind would be thinking about the particular thing that you need but then you have that 1 second interruption because of the right click you need with the mouse. These mouse clicks should have been more of muscle memory if they had designed the right-click button a bit lower. Big deal? Yes, for me. I have switched to use Evolent instead.

No more wrist issues
This is the 2nd one I've had. First one lasted 4 years before the wheel part went wonky. Well worth having.

just amazing
I though this mouse was a little expensive before buying it... I was very wrong, because it's exactly what I was looking for... my Carp Tunnel problem is better now (after 2 weeks using it). Thanks

Great mouse, you pay mostly for the design
Great mouse overall for someone who experiences pain when squeezing a normal mouse or one that is positioned diagonally such as the Logitech.Took a week or two to get used to. Does a good job of relieving carpel tunnel pain and is now is hard to go back to a normal mouse!It’s a bit expensive for what you get with the somewhat cheaper materials, but it has good build quality. I’d say it’s a overall a good deal, especially worth it when you don’t have any more pain.
