The Fish

This mouse might just ease your RSI.

If you suffer from repetitive strain injury (RSI), common tasks such as surfing the internet, editing documents or playing games on your computer can turn into painful experiences. Spending hours delicately moving and clicking your mouse puts more strain on our wrists than we realise. Designed to reduce such injuries, The Fish, an ergonomically designed mouse has reached our mousemats.

Despite its somewhat strange appearance, The Fish is easy to get used to and rests comfortably in your hand. The scroll wheel is operated by your thumb, while underneath the body of the device, your index finger is used for 'clicking'. It works without the need for flat surfaces, which makes it ideal for people working in restricted spaces.

The Fish is a USB device, so once plugged in it's ready to use, without any additional software. It's compatible with both Windows and Mac computers and the two-metre cable allows for a large amount of mobility.

It would benefit from a stand to rest in when not being used, but apart from that, The Fish is a device that's easy to get to grips with and significantly reduces the risk of RSI.

This could be great if it worked

I just received the Fish today. I connected it and tried to use it. It worked terrible. The ball for the cursor hardly moved if it moved at all. I ordered 2 and neither worked. If you can help me with this, I wont send it back
