Pros & Cons

For those who find holding a mouse uncomfortable, the V-Mouse fits in the hand like a pen and makes working on a computer as easy as writing on paper. The V-Mouse doesn't need drivers and connects via a USB cord. The rocker button on the front works like the left and right buttons on a standard mouse, while a plastic nib on the top lets you write on PDAs.

You need to hold the V-Mouse upright for it to work properly, which is a bit uncomfortable; we'd prefer to hold it at a more natural angle. A scroll wheel would also be a great addition.
