Hi,
I've used two perixx ergonomic mice and really liked them - they were
big enough to support my hand completely which some of the alternatives
aren't. Unfortunately I found them both unreliable in the medium term:
after a while the direction of the scroll wheel started to flip
randomly. Once this started to happen it got progressively worse over a
period of weeks, and eventually became so bad that the scroll wheel was
unusable. I have got so used to scrolling with the wheel that I couldn't
continue using them.
The mouse that I got to replace them, while still working well, is
unfortunately no longer available. I might be asking the same question
myself at some point, so sorry that I can't be more helpful.
Regards,
Peter.

Hello,
I found that this one is good value for money:

There is an equivalent one (perimice-819) with an additional USB-C
wireless adapter and rechargeable battery, which I ended up deciding
against because I couldn’t figure out whether its battery is
replaceable. All batteries eventually die, and I am tired of replacing
entire devices just because their battery wasn’t designed to be
replaced easily (if at all).
The multi-device feature is very useful. The mouse has two Bluetooth
channels plus the USB wireless adapter: toggling a button under the
mouse automatically attaches it to a different computer (after the
initial Bluetooth pairing on first use, toggling is nearly instant).
So if you don’t mind carrying the mouse around with you, then you
might only need one.
This store has more options:

For use with a laptop, you might consider a trackball mouse. I have
never used one, but the obvious advantage is that you don’t need to
move the mouse on a flat surface, so it is likely easier to use on the
go or in smaller spaces.
Cheers,
Guillaume

I just bought one at ACTION in Finestrat for less than 5 Euros ,
wireless and USB-C rechargable and I will certainly buy one or two
more the next time I am in Spain if I find them again. But,I will
certainly never buy a MAC ... 😄 Cheers, Marin

Dear All,
sorry for the only tangentially related question, but do you have
recommendations for ergonomic mice recommendable for use with
CCP4, especially Coot, and general use (i.e. Word, email etc).
They would be for use with iMacs at home and in the lab, and
MacBook Pro for travel, i.e. for two of them size is not an issue
but for the third it is.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
