My first impression of this mouse was how impressive the packaging was, it showcases that this mouse is different from the start. It comes with everything you need including its own little carry case for the commute. We love it when something has the term “Swedish design” in its description as it normally means it is creative in its design and takes a deviated step away from the traditional.
Penclic completely redesigned the typical mouse by using a shape we are all familiar with and it immediately feels comfortable in the hand which in turn reduces the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). It took me about a day to get used to it but after my brain had got over that hump it was fairly simple to use. I do like to use my netbook on my lap at times and I did find it difficult to use the mouse away from the desk as it was difficult to negotiate the Pen whilst the base was at an odd angle.
Another issue, if I’m going to be picky, was because the buttons are quite long I found I would occasionally “click” when I didn’t mean to “click” but I’m sure after more practise I would get used to this. The B3 is symmetrical which means it can be used by both left and right handers, it also has a wheel in between both buttons which also doubles as a middle click button. It connected easily to the Bluetooth on my netbook and because It connects via Bluetooth it means it is compatible with many different operating systems that support HID 1.1 (Windows XP or later, Mac OSX version 10.1 or later and most Linux/BSD flavors). We only tested this mouse as an everyday tool but as there are options to change the DPI from 800-1600 that would suggest it could also be used for gaming. Personally this wouldn’t replace a stylus for me as it hasn’t quite the same delicate control but it could be a great ergonomic replacement for a mouse especially for those suffering with RSI.
