## 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!
