I always had problems with cramps when using cookie-cutter mice since the Amiga days. I've never found a mouse that would be comfortable enough for my above-average-sized palms and a claw grip. Until I got the Sculpt. My goodness! That mouse was running circles around Logitech MX! Not only a candy for the eye, but extremely comfortable as well. Much more comfy than a vertical mouse.

There were only two cons: a lack of Mac software and an awful rubber material, "revulcanizing" over time, becoming sticky and pilly.

Microsoft makes such great hardware, but for goodness' sake, why are they losing interest in the products so fast?

Aside from the Sculpt: Microsoft Presenter for Teams ‒ great device, but after MS switched to the terrible "Electron-ish" version, the support was dropped, and the main feature of the clicker went dark.

What are your thoughts on the Sculpt mouse?

  • It's actually still for sale. Microsoft sold their accessories to Incase as their official "designed by Microsoft accessories": https://incasecanada.com/products/sculpt-ergonomic-mouse

    I'd rather they bring back the Surface Precision Mouse (rechargeable version). It's the perfect size, premium feeling, and works very well but now the battery dies so fast having to recharge all the time. Now another company sells it but it's only the AA battery version which sucks.

    I haven't tried sculpt myself, but it looked interesting I guess

    WOW! Did not realize the same literal product would be produced. Need to order a bunch.

    Thank you for this, I didn’t realise they still exist! I really hope these appear through Incase in the UK

    Thank-you! I did not know this either - when my last Surface Precision died, I had to switch to the MX - maybe will give one of these a go in future.

    I've also found seller-refurbished mice on the web, but still, the problem with rubber remains.

  • Coming soon: Sculpt 365 with Copilot microphone built in.

  • "an awful rubber material, "revulcanizing" over time, becoming sticky and pilly."

    Big agree. It was only after the first few had this happen I realized that it was the material and not something environmental.

  • Just make sure it’s compatible with or is AI

  • I miss ms hardware. Their mice were just perfect for office use

  • I fix rubber getting sticky with Goo Gone. Just takes a bit of rubbing work.

  • I'm glad you like it! Just goes to show everyone has different needs.

  • I’d love them to bring back the full Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop pack with the keyboard, mouse and numeric keypad.

    I’m still using mine with my Mac Mini, but they’re showing their age now and I’d love to replace them.

    I have 2 unopened Surface Ergonomic Wireless keyboards but they’re full size keyboards which are annoyingly wide compared to the Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard

  • I use one. It’s okay though

  • yeah the Sculpt was kind of the last time i felt a mouse actually understood my hand 😅 especially if your palm has trust issues with flat designs. mine eventually turned into a sticky rubber mess too, ended up scrubbing it with isopropyl and pretending it was a minimalist choice. i still miss how it felt compared to most of the stuff out there now.

  • I l owe this mouse.

    You should try a vertical mouse if you haven’t already. Especially the MX Vertical. Feels very similar to me
