All of the buttons on the SliderMouse Pro are configurable via the software.

The mouse we use to navigate and manage our computers is one of the most often overlooked things we use daily. We spend hours pushing a small device around with little regard for how it might affect us. I remember getting a new computer at work, and it came with a basic mouse. Within a few weeks, I started to get severe pains in my hand. It got so bad I had to use the mouse with my other hand. Eventually, I replaced it with a Logitec MX Master and my pain was gone within a week.

Numerous peripherals are available to help reduce discomfort and enhance ergonomics for users with arthritis or repetitive strain injury (RSI). I have been testing an alternative to the humble mouse from Contour called the Slider Mouse Pro.
