As part of our new ergonomic computing product line, Spire is rolling out products which will make your long hours of computing more comfortable and better for your well being.

I remember reviews for this thing being pretty bad though:
www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWKA7A/?tag=tec06d-20
while a product re-badges years after its was originally released hardly deserve news, i must say that these "ergonomic" mice do their job at controlling wrist pain after long hours of usage.
I actually suffer from light case of "mouse wrist" mentioned here, and using these mouse do alleviate the problem, although it does take some time getting used to it.
It's wierd and has a green ball on it and it's held wierd.
Thing is my wrist hurt waaayyy worse after using it for a week and I stopped using it.
Then I went back to my Logitech Trackman Marble mouse and it was slightly better, however my wrist was still getting really bad so I switched to the Logitech G700 and my wrists feel much better and don't hurt and I can use it all day.
Don't fall for some of these "ergo" mice becuase most of the time they end up being worse -_-
