Sale on a very niche product, developed for sufferers of RSI or carpal tunnel pain. For people experiencing discomfort with traditional mice and find even trackballs uncomfortable, this may a option as you hold the mouse in a vertical handshake position as opposed to a 'palms down' or claw grip position.

Only $33.50 AUD shipped (according to Amazon, RRP is $49.99 which makes this a 60% discount)

There is a wired and wireless variant.

• Scientific ergonomic design encourages healthy neutral "handshake" wrist and arm positions for smoother movement and less overall strain.
• 800 / 1200 / 1600 DPI Resolution Optical Tracking Technology provides more sensitivity than standard optical mice for smooth and precise tracking on a wide range of surfaces.
• Added next/previous buttons provide convenience when webpage browsing; the best choice for internet surfers, gamers and people who work at length at the computer.
• Enters power saving mode (power is cut off completely) after 8 minutes idle, press right or left button for it to wake. Product dimensions: 101 x 82 x 80 mm; product weight: 3.4 oz.
• Package includes: 1 Anker Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse (2 AAA batteries not included), 1 2.4G USB receiver (in the bottom of the mouse), 1 instruction manual. 18-month hassle-free warranty.

        How could anyone not be convinced by the sales pitch!

        "These foot-controlled mouse devices have become a rage all over and especially for those handicaps out there who can’t make the use of their hands."

        It is provided with battery stuff in it so that you need not bother about plugging it inside your laptop or desktop.

        Yeah, I hate when things are provided without battery stuff so I am forced to plug it inside my laptop.

        The cool color of the mouse make it so adorable that you will really find it hard to take your eyes off them.

        I guess I'll need to put my screen on the floor next to them then…

    How do you quickly click on webpage links with a CLI?

      The better question would be does this guy even know what a command line is

  Slightly cheaper by $1. Same product as Anker, according to the product review posted there.

  These are actually pretty good even if you don't have any wrist issues. It could be preventative. I had to order one for a staff member so just got one for myself to try out.
  I think the theory is that using a standard mouse, your ulna and radius twist over each other (and the associated muscles) when using a standard mouse but if you use one of these style mice it keeps the bones untwisted. Could just be all hoo-haa but after a day or so of getting used to it, I prefer it now.
  Having said that, I got a cheapie wired one off eBay for $8 that works well.

  Left handed version?

      Bummer.

      I'm actually right handed but need to use the mouse in my left hand due to too much Flash design work back in the day. It's very click intensive.

      Currently use a MS Sculpt mouse and keyboard which works surprisingly well even though it the mouse is totally right-oriented…
