I won't comment on the price of this particular drop (for those of you living in N America you can definitely find this unit cheaper elsewhere), but I will comment on the unit itself.
I've been a regular user of Evoluent products for at least 7 years now, but bought the wired version of this CST mouse on a whim. I found the CST unit to be far superior in almost every way. Hand placement is better, the mouse is lighter (which I like), and it has that "duck bill" attachment for those who also want wrist support. I even think the buttons are better, but obviously this differs from person to person.
One thing I really like about this mouse is that it does NOT have the third "pinky" button, as the Evoluents do. While that button seems like a good idea, in real-world use that thing is constantly being triggered, so much so that I disabled it. While I can already hear people bleeting "you should be more careful", a) the button is incredibly sensitive, like half a millimeter sensitive, and b) it's hard to move a mouse using just the rear of your palm, while concentrating on other things. Even with the 3rd button disabled, however, it still triggers something within the system, because during, say, select events, if the button is inadvertently pressed while scrolling down, it unselects whatever you've selected thus far. Basically, it's a pain.
Anyway, long story short, this mouse is far better, IMO, than the Evoluent, at a far lower price. It's my go-to ergo mouse now; and it's cheap.
Note: I do have small hands.
