Overall, the finger mouse works decently well. The optical sensor works on quite a few surfaces and is probably the strongest feature of the mouse. Clicking the left and right mouse buttons is very easy to do and comfortable while doing so however using the scroll wheel is quite a challenge. I am a 6'2" male and have what I consider to be normal sized hands for a male of my height and yet I had quite a bit of trouble reaching the scroll wheel and it was near impossible to scroll without clicking the left or right mouse buttons.

Typing with the mouse on the pointer finger is also slightly challenging. For its size, the finger mouse is actually very light but weighs enough that it makes using the pointer finger it's attached to feel clumsy; it takes some getting used to.

The finger mouse retails for $35USD on Brando's website. Whether or not it's worth $35USD is ultimately up to the buyer but when considering the traditional wireless laptop mice available for the same price the finger mouse seems to be on the expensive side. I would recommend this mouse to anyone that is on the go and finds themselves in situations with limited surface area to work with (such as in an airport terminal). I can also recommend this mouse to anyone that wants to looks futuristically stylish and perhaps garner a few comments.
