We aren&#8217;t saying the Jelfin is the best mouse in the world or that it makes you forget about your mouse-woes &#8212; that&#8217;s if you&#8217;ve even ever had them &#8212; but the gel covered ball <em>is<\/em> comfortable. At first it was a bit odd to navigate our MacBook Pro 13&#8217;s desktop with a ball in hand, but we got the hang of it. But while we like the feel of the buttons, which are differentated with raised gel lines, they don&#8217;t have enough give and we had to press too hard to double click. We also aren&#8217;t thrilled that its got a long white USB cord, either. Chances are you&#8217;ll be better suited by a Logitech for real productivity, but we did enjoy using a ball as a mouse more than we ever could have imagined.    <\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/\">Jelfin mouse hands-on<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/2603784\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/jelfin02_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/2603786\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/jelfin03_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/2603787\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/jelfin04_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/2603789\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/jelfin05_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/jelfin-mouse-hands-on\/2603790\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/jelfin06_thumbnail.jpg?w=780\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/10\/jelfin-ball-shaped-mouse-hands-on\/\">Jelfin ball-shaped mouse hand-on<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:32:00 EST.
