Good luck. If it doesn't work out, and you haven't already tried this mouse, give it a shot: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Ergonomic-Optical-Compatible-EM500GPL/dp

Thanks arn! I have tried that mouse. It was great for a while but then I started getting pain from clicking my thumb too much :-/ I suppose that may eventually happen with the up mouse. fingers crossed

  ah interesting. When I use a regular mouse, I click like crazy - I think more than needed, so that might explain it. For the vertical mouse, I don't find I click as much. fwiw, I also use http://www.marcmoini.com/sx_en.html http://www.marcmoini.com/sx_en.html - which allows me to use the button on the shaft of the vertical mouse to grab-and-scroll windows. useful for scrolling web views, and probably reduces my actual clicking.

Interesting. I just bought this vertical mouse last month: http://www.amazon.com/Evoluent-Vertical-Mouse-Right-Handed/dp/B00427TAIK/ref=pd_cp_pc_1 http://www.amazon.com/Evoluent-Vertical-Mouse-Right-Handed/d...

  same idea. I've tried that design. for some reason I didn't ever feel like I had a great grip on it and pushing buttons right-to-left felt weird to me.

    I honestly bought it a bit hastily. I rock climb, play cello, and program, so when I started to get some wrist pain I immediately ordered ergonomically-better computer parts. This mouse specifically has helped a lot.
