Using the RollerMouse Red takes some getting used to, but the learning curve is surprisingly shallow. We adapted within a day, and after a week, returning to a traditional mouse felt oddly inefficient.
For everyday tasks like word processing, web browsing, and spreadsheet navigation, the Red is smooth, fast, and responsive. The roller bar glides effortlessly, and once you dial in your preferred DPI setting, it’s easy to control across single- or dual-monitor setups.
However, the device is not well-suited for precision work. We found it difficult to control fine cursor movement in Photoshop, Illustrator, and similar apps. If your daily workflow includes design, CAD, or gaming, this won’t replace your go-to mouse.
