You have a good point and it is true it is subjective. I like my mice to fit nicely into the arc of my palm naturally rather than scrunch of my hand. Though it is true that one can change to a different grip, I do believe there is a natural grip/position that works best for the human hand, just as high heels probably aren't the most comfortable shoes for people even if a person could get used to them. In the case of having a surface pro, connection type is pretty important as some people won't want to have the hassle of always having to remove the usb dongle every time you need to use the usb port for something else. So I bought a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse so that the usb port is always free and ready to use.Keep in mind that people have different mouse grips, which is part of the subjectivity in "comfort." I personally use a grip between claw/fingertip for precise control and to prevent wrist stress, which means I find highly compact mobile mice perfect for even desktop use. Mice like the Wedge can only be used in the fingertip grip. (There are guides out there describing the mouse grip styles and advantages/disadvantages. It's also very possible to retrain oneself into a different mouse grip, FYI.) Personally, especially if significant mousing will be involved, I think it's more important to get the most comfortable mouse first and worry about price/connection type second...
That's not a fair comparison; palm grip actually gives me RSI symptoms in the wrist (I've had the same experience as this person). So my feeling is if someone has pain with palm grip, which is what exactly happened with a friend who has wrist tendonitis, they may actually have a more natural preference for a different grip but didn't know it. And another friend with big hands ended up liking the claw grip much better than the traditional palm grip, with which he had no problems before. Many of the reviews on mice simply aren't useful in this respect: Unless we know the person's hand size and grip preference, a review that only complains a mouse is too small or something is like a right-hander complaining about the ergonomics of a lefty mouse. That's why I note the dimensions of my favorite mice and go strictly on size. (Fortunately, the Surface's touchscreen is fine for most uses, but I use MS Office so much that a mouse is required.)Though it is true that one can change to a different grip, I do believe there is a natural grip/position that works best for the human hand, just as high heels probably aren't the most comfortable shoes for people even if a person could get used to them.
That makes sense, and the Surface RT has the same issue. I guess it just depends on how often someone does USB device switches. For me, not so much. It's too bad there isn't a Type cover with a bluetooth switch.In the case of having a surface pro, connection type is pretty important as some people won't want to have the hassle of always having to remove the usb dongle every time you need to use the usb port for something else.

Fair enough, your priorities are your own.whats most imporatnt to me is the bluetooth mouse works as soon as you touch it everytime. ergonimically over last 25 years ... i've used every known mouse on the planet and just want them to work well first ... feel good second.
