I would love to see that, in the late 90's my friends dad had a mouse that was just a scroll ball that you would move with your thumb. The actual mouse never moved.
Want no broken vases? The most ergonomic mouse/keyboard combination in history is Datahand (seen in the movie Contact and the TV show Power Rangers). It's insanely expensive and terribly annoying to learn, but nothing is more ergonomic. It's also the first example of magnetic membrane keyboard switches. I think a low cost version of this product would be insanely useful.
Still, use this at work and it has helped with my shoulder ache, using thumbs on the roller bar which works best for me. Still the mouse is connected for when I need to do superfast Excel work .. but for 80%+ of my time the roller mouse is tha sh*t. I would never use it for gaming - and that is also not the intened use IMHO.
Did you know the roller bar actually clicks too? So two hands it not needed. I don't move my wrist at all while using it, i simply move my the finger i am using on the roller back and forth. Very little movement is actually needed to move the mouse far. The copy and paste buttons are a game changer for anyone who does a lot of that or works with spreadsheets. and of course the double click button comes in handy. I have been using mine since about 2017 and I don't think i could go back to working without it.
There was a WAN Show a couple episodes back where you could hear something break in the backround and Linus was like...wtf was that? Wonder if that was from this episode...
I have seen this in a lot of hotel, company and hospital receptions. The staff there always used it with their thumb. I think that one of the reasons why this is used in places like receptions is that sometimes they have quite limited space to house the keyboard and mouse on the reception desk.
That is exactly how you use it, it's also a productivity device, so less time is spent moving your hands to your mouse. I thought the thumb operation was a given, but seeing them using their index finger, it seemed like a person using a touchscreen for the first time
I work in a hospital. Our typists use these all the time. They can use what ever they want, but most of them choose to use these. Their job is to transcribe dictations to text. So they have these as the mouse and food pedals that have Play, Pause and Reverse for the audio. And yeah, it's thumb operation all the way.
@@dorademir8195: That is a detail that only matters to Finns because they're still upset about formerly being a Swedish vassal. As the word "Fennoscandian" makes clear, there is plenty of Scandinavian influence in Finnish culture, hence my original statement is still valid even if my terminology wasn't politically-correct.
I've seen them in Canada as well although it was a fairly small subset of users that had them but the few that did sweared by them. I'm also quite certain that they used them with their palms and not there fingers.
Having different people promote different videos does this channel good. It’s much better than the usual one man one video show in my opinion, keep this up guys.
You're not wrong. As much as I like Linus after I read your comment and I can't think of any of the other gentlemen who've hosted videos that I didn't care for.
I might sound like one of those Thinkpad fanboys.... Okay maby I am a little bit. But I really enjoyed the trackpoint when I had one. And it also keeps your hands on the keyboard.
i personally never used the trackpoint but i really like that they moved the mouse buttons to the top of the touchpad. saves tons of time that i can click with my thumb especially on linux where the middleclick serves as a paste button too.
It's not that they moved the buttons to the top of touchpad. The original IBM thinkpads didn't even have a touchpad. On the transitional models from around 2008 have both sets of mouse buttons (the trackpoint also having middle click).
My wife thinks I am crazy because I basically only use the trackpoiny on my Dell Precision. Probably doesn't help that the laptop has one of the worst trackpads I has ever seen

Trackpoint was the ONLY mobile input I used when I had my Thinkpad T420. When I got the T420 I disabled the trackpad in the BIOS and left it disabled. I also used a real mouse when I was sitting at a desk but when I wasn't it was the trackpoint 24/7 and its pretty simple to learn and you won't have to move your hands away from the keyboard at all to use it
I have been using the Contour RollerMouse Red Plus for about a year now, and I'm loving it. It really helps your neck and shoulders when you sit in front of a computer 7-8 hours a day. I found that it's most convenient to use my thumbs on the roller most of the time. At work I have a 38" monitor which I have split into separate areas for different applications that I frequently jump in and out of as it is a part of my workflow. The RollerMouse makes me much much more efficient than if I would use a ordinary mouse - and it just feels so effortless. Can't understand those of you who would prefer a track pad. A track pad is not the same - Windows precision or not. It's just not efficient enough compared with the likes of RollerMouse. Try using one at your office for two weeks, and I promise that 7 out of 10 will not go back to a ordinary mouse.
I've been using the rollermouse red for the last 5 years. It's fantastic for general windows work, cad-work etc. Not so much for gaming, so I've always used a regular mouse in addition - and i switch back and forth between the two depending on the task at hand. And yes, i have bad shoulders.
Oh that is interesting. I do mostly 3D Modeling and was wondering how it is for more precise clicking and dragging and orbiting around a 3d viewport. What is your feeling on that?
Roller Mice are awesome. I used it for quite a few years when I did IT support. It definitely was very natural and nice to use after a week or so of use. Oh, and the pricing clearly is insane for the consumer market, but for the enterprise market, they can get away with it. The support desk I worked at had around 40 stations, all equipped with a Roller Mouse. It's a good item to blow the remainder of your IT equipment budget on at the end of a fiscal year.
6:49 that was just perfect. he even kicked the 8ball over and nothing else. just like a movie or tv show. the sound effects sounded great and had a final sound, in the end, to tie it all together with a great closure. can't tell if it was all planned that way or not.
We had these on the pharmacy I used to work at and it's still the best mouse alternative I've ever used. I always had my fingers on the keyboard and only moved my thumbs between the roller bar and space bar to use it. It won't replace a mouse for anything gaming related, but if you work with documents and spread sheets all day it will definitely speed up your workflow. I wish every keyboard had a small roller-bar like this integrated.
I use this exact model at work and it is great. No more strain in my right shoulder and arm. And move the "stick" with you thumb while typing to avoid flicking your arm and shoulder around.
This thing has been popular in swedish offices for years. Some people prefer the Mousetrapper, which uses a trackpad instead of a roller. Very good tools, but very expensive.
It's the "hot new thing" at the company I work for in Sweden as well. Personally I cannot imagine why people are getting one, but I've noticed that at least here it's exclusively the less tech savvy who use them.
Best thing I did for my wrists and shoulder was switch to a tenkeyless keyboard and put a seperate numpad elsewhere on the desk. Those few inches saved on width allows me to keep most of those twisting movements within my shoulder width, and that seems to help immensely.
That was also true of the library i worked at in Denmark. They didn't look that expensive though and definitely weren't wireless. Kinda seems like they found an expensive version of this type of mouse, only to then complain about the price.
My company uses these! When you start a desk position at my company, an ergonomic specialist contracted with the company comes out to your desk and arranges everything you touch during work to to be ergonomic. I had met with an ergo specialist and was in my position for a few years, but my CTS started coming back, and with it also came a new RSI of my right shoulder. The shoulder pain was purely from reaching for the mouse and back repetitively as the job required. Now, whenever I work inside any program, I always prefer a keyboard-only setup and try to omit mouse usage as much as possible. This came from playing MMORPGs in my teens and it just eventually became the norm for me to use the numpad to navigate my character and arrow keys for camera movement. Since then, I've always used the mouse as little as possible out of preference, so naturally that translated to optimizing my work the same way by navigating through my work programs by using tab and enter as opposed to clicking each field with my mouse and going back to my keyboard to type in all the fields. With that said, even supplementing TAB and ENTER and eliminating most mouse movements, I still had to repetitively reach for the mouse in my daily workflow where it couldn't be helped. I still developed a shoulder RSI. TLDR: When the ergo department fitted me with this mouse and my pain went away, I became a believer. Now I only ever use a conventional mouse for FPS games. Everything else I can do keyboard-only, Keyboard+roller, or controller. BUT if you move your dominant hand down to the roller, it becomes pointless. You have to use your thumbs to press the buttons in order to prevent another RSI. Also, I see a chiropractor for my shoulder :)
I work in a school district and some of the office workers have these. It's always confusing when they call in with a computer issue and I sit down at the computer to see no mouse and weird rolly thing. It's so damn sensitive, but when they've gotten good at using it, it's pretty cool to see.
You can use it your thumbs without moving your hands, more ergonomic than touchpad. Less precise and versatile perhaps, but for typing, spreadsheets, data entry and other office work it's great.
Yea I have seen this at shows and the intention they present it as is to use your thumb.. basically never needing to remove your hand from your homekeys on many keyboards. Enjoyed the review and have similar thoughts as I own one.. but the review completely missed the mark on how it's supposed to be used
@@EmAllWasTaken there are for sale standalone trackpads.... I also i will suprise you that i also prefer a dekstop with my mech, but i also need a mobile computer too.
@@Reepicheep-1 it literally took me less than minutes to figure it out when I was first using one of these. But I never really used trackpads all that much, so maybe that's a factor?
@@goclbert Thats why i dont get this thing, isnt it as ergonomic as just using a trackpad. If you are using it with thumbs like i think you should it is exactly the same motions.
I am a programmer and I've been using this mouse for 2 years now. Once you get used to it, it's actually the greatest ever. Ergonomics was the main reason I switched to this mouse.
how is it actually ergonomic though? a proper ergo keyboard with a trackball (if that exists) would be far more ergonomic no? also, does it hold up in power use situations? it looks like it massively sacrifices speed when trying to maintain accuracy.
@@synlion Yes some accuracy is lost, so I can’t really draw well or play FPS games with it. But software dev work is fine. I don’t really feel like I am missing speed. Also if you want to be fast, mouse is not the way to go. I suggest learning shortcut keys as much as possible. I love when I don’t need to move my arm between the mouse and keyboard, instead I can keep the same stance at all times.
@@ain7256 you don't understand the concept of the word "since"? Also guys, "they're canadian"... ok so are you saying they only know of canadian products, everything else is super strange to them? Get a grip of reality please.

#propdrop? End of year video suggestion: drop compilation with staff tally to work out "Who is really the clumsiest person at LMG? (It's probably Linus)"
I've used these at work for about 1000h, so I've some notes: -It's extremely useful when you're filling out forms, that you can't navigate with tab or ctrl+arrow keys. -With proper placement and a keyboard with a small bezzel behind the spacebar you can use the mouse keys and roller bar with just your thumbs. Keep those index fingers on F and J y'all! The sensitivity can be a problem. However, it's worth noting that these are often used in applications where the actual real estate the cursor is actually moving on is very specific or limited, not the whole display area.
Is that type of mice not normal in Canada?? .. You can't find an office I Denmark without them .. Those kinds of mice have been here for ages. So strange to see an episode of LTT that's not up to date .. hehe
I've seen several office workers use this, on sight its really interesting. I think it's one of the better options if you really haft to have something else.
Excellent video !! Loved the "story", the acting was topnotch too hahah (also, props to the stunts) Is Linus in all the sponsoring bits because of contracting obligations ? ;)
I really would like to try this, but not for $265... I do like that companies are trying new things. One thing I like about the trackpoints found on ThinkPads and some other business laptops is it allows you to move the cursor without having to move your hand away from the keyboard to the trackpad or mouse, so I understand where they are coming from.
I've been shopping ergonomic mice for a while, but today I was watching videos to learn how to do better unboxing videos and got distracted and now I'm looking at this mouse smh nice video, thanks. :)
I've been using the Rollermouse for several years at work now. Naturally figured out a way to prevent lateral motion with my wrists using my righthand middlefinger to move the bar to either side. It has really helped with my RSI complaints. It's not weird if it works, right?!
About ergonomic solutions for using a computer. One of the engineers at my dad's company made a glove-like 3d mouse. The mouse was controlling with the palms, not fingers. While the fingers had a half a keyboard behind each of them, wireless ofc. This way he could have his arms in any position he wanted and produce in CAD programs at the same time.
I want to see a LTT Counter Strike game where every contestant uses a different kind of ergonomic mouse or other ill fitted gaming equipment.
YES!
Thanks a lot jerk, now I want to see it too!

The RED Movie cameras paid out, huh?
In Finland, all the government agencies use that so nothing new here.
It's the "hot new thing" at the company I work for in Sweden as well. Personally I cannot imagine why people are getting one, but I've noticed that at least here it's exclusively the less tech savvy who use them.
Haven't rollermouse been around for like 10 years? I remember my old company had a bunch of them in 2011 (in Sweden)
@@dallek50 Don't know, I just noticed them starting to pop up everywhere like two years ago. Word spread like it was some new iPhone.
They've been using it for ages here in Sweden. I mean atleast 10-15 year, probably even longer.
Yeah, they've been around for long time here.
Best thing I did for my wrists and shoulder was switch to a tenkeyless keyboard and put a seperate numpad elsewhere on the desk. Those few inches saved on width allows me to keep most of those twisting movements within my shoulder width, and that seems to help immensely.
0:37 😂😂 I'm a subscriber from Spain and I love when you say something random in Spanish. It always surprises me.
This is not something new, here in Sweden everyone at librarys and hospitals have these at their desks
Samma i finland!
That was also true of the library i worked at in Denmark. They didn't look that expensive though and definitely weren't wireless. Kinda seems like they found an expensive version of this type of mouse, only to then complain about the price.
My company uses these! When you start a desk position at my company, an ergonomic specialist contracted with the company comes out to your desk and arranges everything you touch during work to to be ergonomic. I had met with an ergo specialist and was in my position for a few years, but my CTS started coming back, and with it also came a new RSI of my right shoulder. The shoulder pain was purely from reaching for the mouse and back repetitively as the job required.
Now, whenever I work inside any program, I always prefer a keyboard-only setup and try to omit mouse usage as much as possible. This came from playing MMORPGs in my teens and it just eventually became the norm for me to use the numpad to navigate my character and arrow keys for camera movement. Since then, I've always used the mouse as little as possible out of preference, so naturally that translated to optimizing my work the same way by navigating through my work programs by using tab and enter as opposed to clicking each field with my mouse and going back to my keyboard to type in all the fields.
With that said, even supplementing TAB and ENTER and eliminating most mouse movements, I still had to repetitively reach for the mouse in my daily workflow where it couldn't be helped. I still developed a shoulder RSI.
TLDR:
When the ergo department fitted me with this mouse and my pain went away, I became a believer. Now I only ever use a conventional mouse for FPS games. Everything else I can do keyboard-only, Keyboard+roller, or controller.
BUT if you move your dominant hand down to the roller, it becomes pointless. You have to use your thumbs to press the buttons in order to prevent another RSI.
Also, I see a chiropractor for my shoulder :)
THAT INTRO! THAT. INTRO. Best LTT intro by far! Whoever pitched the idea, give him/her/it a raise! xD
Lol ikr
Still keeping that WAN promise to click on the video ASAP!
I serve the Click Nation
Im going to dislike every video with clickbait title from now on..
I work in a school district and some of the office workers have these. It's always confusing when they call in with a computer issue and I sit down at the computer to see no mouse and weird rolly thing. It's so damn sensitive, but when they've gotten good at using it, it's pretty cool to see.
In Finland that kinda "mouse" is pretty common in bigger offices, banks etc. Always wondered what's the benefits of that mouse, over regular one
You can use it your thumbs without moving your hands, more ergonomic than touchpad. Less precise and versatile perhaps, but for typing, spreadsheets, data entry and other office work it's great.
I have a Contour roller mouse, but I use thumbs to roll and click. Use it mostly for programming/typing and I love it.
Yea I have seen this at shows and the intention they present it as is to use your thumb.. basically never needing to remove your hand from your homekeys on many keyboards.
Enjoyed the review and have similar thoughts as I own one.. but the review completely missed the mark on how it's supposed to be used
But why wouldn't i just use a trackpad then i use my laptop trackpad with thumbs most of the time.
@@BlackPeagas Some of us still prefer to use desktop computers with normal keyboards.
@@EmAllWasTaken there are for sale standalone trackpads.... I also i will suprise you that i also prefer a dekstop with my mech, but i also need a mobile computer too.
You're supposed to roll it with your wrists. So your fingers stay on the keys.
i have been using that mouse for several years. it is the best ergonomic one, no shoulder pain anymore since then i moved to norway
you should be using your thumbs to control the rollerbar while leaving your hands on the keyboard
That's also what you should be doing with a trackpad but so many people feel like they must have their whole hand on the device.
Yeah... when I saw Riley using his index finger and another finger to left or right click.... I was screaming... use thumbs!!!
They only used it for a couple hours. Obviously they didn't watch any vids of 'pro' users.
@@Reepicheep-1 it literally took me less than minutes to figure it out when I was first using one of these. But I never really used trackpads all that much, so maybe that's a factor?
@@goclbert Thats why i dont get this thing, isnt it as ergonomic as just using a trackpad. If you are using it with thumbs like i think you should it is exactly the same motions.
I am a programmer and I've been using this mouse for 2 years now. Once you get used to it, it's actually the greatest ever. Ergonomics was the main reason I switched to this mouse.
how is it actually ergonomic though? a proper ergo keyboard with a trackball (if that exists) would be far more ergonomic no? also, does it hold up in power use situations? it looks like it massively sacrifices speed when trying to maintain accuracy.
@@synlion Yes some accuracy is lost, so I can’t really draw well or play FPS games with it. But software dev work is fine. I don’t really feel like I am missing speed. Also if you want to be fast, mouse is not the way to go. I suggest learning shortcut keys as much as possible.
I love when I don’t need to move my arm between the mouse and keyboard, instead I can keep the same stance at all times.
@@synlion I don’t know any ”proper ergo keyboards with trackball”. But would be interesting to see that.
My employer bought my first one of these about 6 years or more ago. After a small learning curve I love it!
The intro video is seriously amazing!
Ai dios mio!
Use VIM - When you've mastered that tell me how.
There's a game that helps you learn called; VIM adventures. Google it.
These have been around Scandinavian offices since like 1995-2000. How have you never seen one before?
Maybe because they're not in a Scandinavian country?
Probably because they're Canadian and it's 2019.
Yea thought every office in the world had these
Big oil conspiracy.
@@ain7256 you don't understand the concept of the word "since"?
Also guys, "they're canadian"... ok so are you saying they only know of canadian products, everything else is super strange to them? Get a grip of reality please.
There's a bunch of these where I work, different brand but same concept.
*Nintendo invented this years ago*
I think it was called the *UFORCE* and the AVGN showed it actually worked... (Playing boxing and topgun) around 10:30
th-cam.com/video/9kBMscW_dVg/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, even many years ago when I used to visit my parents workplaces, almost all of them used those - although a different brand
Same
That movie trailer-esque intro was amazing.
+ 100 style points for the music, colors, the backlit bright windows, the "woman laughing with salad" laughs
This type a mouse seems to be relatively common in a lot of Scandinavian businesses.
I also just assumed that these are super common
#propdrop?
End of year video suggestion: drop compilation with staff tally to work out "Who is really the clumsiest person at LMG? (It's probably Linus)"
I've used these at work for about 1000h, so I've some notes:
-It's extremely useful when you're filling out forms, that you can't navigate with tab or ctrl+arrow keys.
-With proper placement and a keyboard with a small bezzel behind the spacebar you can use the mouse keys and roller bar with just your thumbs. Keep those index fingers on F and J y'all!
The sensitivity can be a problem. However, it's worth noting that these are often used in applications where the actual real estate the cursor is actually moving on is very specific or limited, not the whole display area.
Is that type of mice not normal in Canada?? .. You can't find an office I Denmark without them .. Those kinds of mice have been here for ages. So strange to see an episode of LTT that's not up to date .. hehe
Same in Sweden, its more or less standard in most offices here.
From reading the comments I get the feeling that this is a Scandinavian thing.
Yeah it Really seems like a scandinavian Thing. I have Never seen one in Germany
Count all the Nordics in, because this is also the government office standard in Finland!
It really blows my mind that these things are so regionally locked ..
Every librarian in sweden have one of theese!
And doctor!
I noticed the norwegian dmw uses them. (Statens vegvesen)
Let's say - every government worker in Scandinavia + some people in business (but rare).
@@moristar Same for all Nordic countries.
we get it, Scandinavians are loaded af, now shut it
I've seen several office workers use this, on sight its really interesting. I think it's one of the better options if you really haft to have something else.
I expected "is this product APPLE?!" 5:46
Writing a script about writing a script...
Its official guys, LMG has officially gone insane.
Meta as fuck
Excellent video !!
Loved the "story", the acting was topnotch too hahah (also, props to the stunts)
Is Linus in all the sponsoring bits because of contracting obligations ? ;)
Cavity for your dongle.
Almost missed that one, nice.
Yeah, extremely witty.
I feel like every few months we have a “weirdest mouse ever”
And I kinda like it.
They have reviewed something exactly the same as this ???
Haven't they ??
I really would like to try this, but not for $265... I do like that companies are trying new things.
One thing I like about the trackpoints found on ThinkPads and some other business laptops is it allows you to move the cursor without having to move your hand away from the keyboard to the trackpad or mouse, so I understand where they are coming from.
Riley/James brings fresh new life to this channel its amazing!
Seriously, the intro was hilarious. Made a lethargic review a little awesome. 🤣
I've been shopping ergonomic mice for a while, but today I was watching videos to learn how to do better unboxing videos and got distracted and now I'm looking at this mouse smh nice video, thanks. :)
I've been using the Rollermouse for several years at work now. Naturally figured out a way to prevent lateral motion with my wrists using my righthand middlefinger to move the bar to either side. It has really helped with my RSI complaints. It's not weird if it works, right?!
Apple : we can sell cheap products for $999
Contour : hold my roller
5:40
About ergonomic solutions for using a computer. One of the engineers at my dad's company made a glove-like 3d mouse. The mouse was controlling with the palms, not fingers. While the fingers had a half a keyboard behind each of them, wireless ofc.
This way he could have his arms in any position he wanted and produce in CAD programs at the same time.
We have so many of these at my work. People love this thing!
Absolutely Nobody:
Me: Now that you’ve mentioned it, what about Scrapyard Wars?
Yes!!! We need more scrapyard wars
Okay that intro would have me liking the video multiple times over if I could XD
Also don't know why but really been liking Riley's videos :D
1:24 Oh no. Linus was back before they finished the 10 scripts.
This is one of your best videos. Hilarious script and Riley did awesome.
you guys are ready to make a movie now, I love the intro
@6:49 And the Magic 8 Ball says....... OUCH! 🎱😂🤣😂
Looks like this magic 8 ball did not predict this! Lol XD
