Large size.. Review: 8 Year Follow-up! A Superb Mouse for Any User -- Mac or Windows. Great For Impaired Hand Function - I use the wired version because with frequent hand tremor and spasticity due to a spinal cord injury. it's not unusual for me to inadvertently knock to the mouse off the desk, and I've arranged the cord to prevent the mouse from hitting the hard ceramic tiled floor of my office. The mouse is quite durable, and survived several such hits before I got the cord management under control. While I recommend this mouse for any user, it's an especially important tool for people with limited hand usage. The hand position is such that the user is encouraged to use arm muscles rather than the hand and wrist, reducing the risk of carpal tunnel damage and permitting better control for people who've suffered neurological damage. I have a second computer set up where because of severe space limitations I am forced to use a trackpad. The difference in my ability to control the cursor is night and day, with this 3M product winning on every count.. ------------------------------ This is a follow-up review written more than two years after my second purchase of the 3M wired ergonomic optical mouse. I gave it four stars in my original review, because as a Mac user I was having trouble getting the third button to function properly. I've long since discovered an inexpensive program called Smart Scroll that has given me great additional functionality with this mouse and made the third button (the one activated by the fingers gripping the upright portion of the mouse) an integral part of my daily use. It's free to download and try, putting up startup reminders to purchase ($14) if you continue to use the program, and can be found at marcmoini.com. So, I've upgraded my review to five stars. For any Mac user with a mouse or trackpad Smart Scroll is a worthwhile addition to your system preferences. It adds numerous capabilities in a manner completely consistent with Apple's thoughtful and well-designed interface. The program is designed to work with any mouse with multiple buttons and with or without a scroll wheel. ------------------------------ This is a second follow-up review, eight years after my original purchase. I'm making the leap from wired to wireless version. My work space is now carpeted, so the occasional spastic arm sweep sending it to the floor is less of a concern. The new mouse arrived today. Bravo to the new rubbery "soft touch" coating. It's easily cleaned and feels pleasant to the touch. The new mouse - in spite of 2 AA batteries (included), feels lighter than the wired model, perhaps even bit too light. My neuro condition means that I have an easier time avoiding tremor when my tools and utensils have a bit of weight. That said, everything I love about this mouse remains true. I've tried dozens of mice over the years, and this remains the best in terms of comfort and hand position. A tech note - this is not a Bluetooth mouse. It uses a 2.4MHz dongle. It requires a usb connection to your computer, though it works fine through a USB hub. It seamlessly auto-pairs. My Logitech keyboard uses a similar 2.4MHz dongle. They do not interfere with each other, but neither will they share a dongle. There is a "connect: button on the bottom of the mouse, as well as an unlabelled button on the dongle. If for some reason the mouse loses its connection, the buttons are there to reset the pairing. Press the unlabelled dongle button, then the "connect" button pin the mouse. Review: Instant RSI relief - I felt the difference in my right wrist instantly. According to websites, "Ergonomic design keeps the arm positioned for natural, comfortable movement. It is clinically proven to reduce muscle strain and discomfort associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and repetitive stress injury. The 3M Ergonomic Mouse is compatible using any USB port computer." Ever notice that Gamers don't have carpel tunnel syndrome like most typists even though they likely spend more time at the computer? Well, 3M noticed! Your wrist sits on this ergonomic mouse like it does on a video game joystick. The weight of your hand is no longer carried by your wrist. Rather, your hand is relaxed on the mouse. The relief in pressure on your wrist is instant. The cost may seem high, but it's less than a chiropractic appointment. Comes in 2 different sizes (small/medium and medium/large). This is a RIGHT handed mouse. You can program the left/right clicks if you are left handed, but the "joystick" is angled, so it's not as wonderful if you are a lefty. Added note: The above review was written 2 years ago. It has been 3 years that I have been using this mouse. My wrist pain is completely gone. This mouse is so worth it. That being said, it is a P.O.S. as others have mentioned: the mouse does not travel well (it breaks if not protected in your computer bag) and breaks when dropped on hard surfaces -- I put a carpet under my desk and bought a glue gun to cut down on mouse costs. After gluing them back together, 3 have acquired the "double click" disease. Even with these drawback, I still feel that this mouse is worth it. I have purchased 8 over the past 3 years - I now keep one at work, one on my desk at home, and a "floater" for my home laptop that moves from room to room but does not leave the house unless carefully wrapped in it's original box. For "daily travel", because the 3M mouse has helped my wrist heal, I am now able to use a regular mouse, so I now keep a regular mouse in my backpack. ## Features - The 3M Ergonomic Mouse has earned an Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation for its patented - Grip the handle and rest your hand on the base - Use your thumb to left and right click - Optical sensor, USB/PS2 plug and play compatibility and a 6.5 feet - 2 year warranty - The 3M Ergonomic Mouse has earned an Ease-of-Use Commendation from the Arthritis Foundation for its patented. - Vertical grip design that keeps your hand and wrist at a neutral angle, while the mouse works as a regular optical mouse ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00008KWWF | | Additional Features | Ergonomic Design | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,465 in Computer Mice | | Brand | 3M | | Built-In Media | EM500GPL-AM | | Button Quantity | 3 | | Color | Clear | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | PS/2, USB, Wired | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,106 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021200418334, 00021200522642 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Part Number | EM500GPLAM | | Item Weight | 200 Grams | | Manufacturer | 3M | | Mfr Part Number | EM500GPL-AM | | Model Name | 3M MOBILE INTERACTIVE SOLUTIONS DIVISION | | Model Number | EM500GPL | | Movement Detection | Optical | | Movement Detection Technology | Optical | | Number of Buttons | 3 | | Operating System | Windows 95 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Range | 6.5 feet | | Special Feature | Ergonomic Design | | Style Name | Wired | | UPC | 021200418334 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** 3M - **Color:** Black - **Connectivity Technology:** PS/2, USB, Wired - **Special Feature:** Ergonomic Design - **Movement Detection Technology:** Optical ## Images ![3M Ergonomic Mouse, EM500GPL, Large - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612QGnRxalL.jpg) ![3M Ergonomic Mouse, EM500GPL, Large - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812wBlVE4EL.jpg) ![3M Ergonomic Mouse, EM500GPL, Large - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XpzKedyLL.jpg) ![3M Ergonomic Mouse, EM500GPL, Large - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61s6RkzIhIL.jpg) ![3M Ergonomic Mouse, EM500GPL, Large - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bfy6UK1sL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you "steer" the mouse on screen by shifting the joystick about or by dragging it like a conventional mouse?** A: You slide it around like a conventional mouse. The "joystick" is to hold your hand in a more neutral position. If the joystick moved around your wrist would also be bending around, which isn't good if you have issues like CTS or RSI... **Q: How do I know if I need the small size or the large size?** A: Greetings----I have the model EM500GPL, which I think was the large version. My 4 fingers measure 75 mm across and my hand fits nicely. Any smaller would be too small for me. Remember that the 4 fingers wrap around the handle and the thumb goes on top to operate the button on top. The finger tips operate the button on the side of the handle. Good luck. **Q: Is this for a right hand or left hand?** A: Right hand **Q: Has anyone used this with AutoCAD? I'm worried because I need the scroll button to zoom in and out in CAD.** A: Yeah I got it to use with AutoCAD, but there isn't a scroll button.. so its hard to zoom in/out.. Wouldn't recommend it for CAD work! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8 Year Follow-up! A Superb Mouse for Any User -- Mac or Windows.

It is now December 19th, so I have given it three months of use before writing this review. Before purchasing this 3M mouse, I was using just your average, typical, mouse with a scrolling wheel in the center. For work I am on the computer around 13 hours a day. Recently my right wrist, forearm, and shoulder started to ache and eventually became very painful because of the unnatural position my mouse held my hand/arm in. Also I use the scrolling wheel very often and my middle finger (which I used to scroll with), started to swell and experience pain in the joints, with a hard, painful bone-like spur on the underside. After using the 3M Ergonomic mouse, the swelling/pain in my finger joint went away immediately, and the bone spur also dissipated. However, while it did alleviate the pain in my wrist, it actually caused more pain in my forearm and shoulder, and now the bonus of the entire thumb area of the hand - from the wrist up to the tip of my thumb. After a week of looking at the design and messing around with folded towels under my arm, it finally dawned on me why this mouse caused so much pain.... Though I purchased the 'small', the hand shaft is still too long, and with the toggle button at the top of it, it holds the thumb in an unnatural upward position thereby putting strain on that entire bone. When you lay your arm down on a table, with palm facing inward, in the relaxed position a thumb is NOT sticking upwards, but instead it naturally lays level with the index finger. Hence the hand shaft is too tall. The shaft cannot be cut down obviously, so the 'deck', the part that the hand rests upon, had to be raised. To to do this I took a few sheets of paper towels, folded them to the thickness that would give the best height for my hand, then wrapped sturdy packing tape around it, to keep it folded (and makes it easy to wipe clean). Then I made a 'collar' out of paper towel to go around the base of the hand shaft, to which I taped the front part of the folded paper towels to, it helps keep it from shifting. I then put a large piece of rolled tape on the rest of the 'deck' which holds the rest of the folded towels onto the deck. Did it work? Yes, it did. The paper towels have conformed perfectly to the shape of my hand, and is very comfortable. It stays rather clean because of being wrapped in packing tape, which I periodically wipe clean with rubbing alcohol. More importantly, it has elevated all pain in my arm, shoulder, and thumb area. It holds my hand and fingers in a very natural position. So while it is not perfect, and I shouldn't have to make padding for it, I gave this mouse 4 stars because I do like it, even though I had to make adjustments to make it work. It glides smoothly on a mouse pad. The toggle button is smooth, as is the scroll button. It does take some time getting used to scrolling this way, but once I got the hang of it, it's second nature to me now. Some tips: * I found myself 'gripping' the mouse like a joy stick because I was so not used to a mouse of this shape, which makes the four fingers hurt after a while and would make me hit the scroll button inadvertently. I had to keep reminding myself to relax my hand. No need to 'grip' it, it's not going to take you on a 'white knuckle' ride! * Does not move well on thin or hard surfaces. I had a very, very thin mouse pad and it would not glide well on it. I purchased a thicker pad and now it moves smoothly. * Because the hand shaft stands so far up, I have knocked this mouse right off my desk a number of times, my arm would hit it, or walking past my desk my sweater would catch it. So when not in use keep it away from the edge of the desk. At least I know that this mouse can take a beating! ## Frequently Bought Together - 3M Wired Ergonomic Optical Mouse, Patented Vertical Grip Design Keeps Your Hand and Wrist at a Neutral Angle for Comfort, USB/PS2 Plug and Play Compatibility, 6.5' Cord, Large Size, Black (EM500GPL) - MROCO Mouse Pad [30% Larger] with Stitched Edges, 3 Pack Premium-Textured & Waterproof Mousepad Bulk with Non-Slip Rubber Base for Computers, Laptop, PC, Office & Home, 8.5 x 11 x 0.12 in, Black - KINESIS Freestyle2 Ergonomic Keyboard for PC (9" or 20" Separation) (9" Separation) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1472396-3m-ergonomic-mouse-em500gpl-large](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1472396-3m-ergonomic-mouse-em500gpl-large) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
