I use this (the old version, the GyroMouse Pro) to teach software workshops to university faculty. It always impresses them a lot.
The older one, anyway, is shaped pretty much like a traditional mouse, but it has a deep groove in the bottom, just above the ball. (Kinda like the groove in the sole of a dance sneaker)
When I use it, my index finger rests in that groove, and I do indeed use my thumb to click the buttons. It is a little awkward, but since I prefer to mouse lefty and am constantly switching mice, I'm flexible with the button-locations anyway.
What's really awkward, for me, is trying to make small left-right or up-down adjustments. Picking items off drop-down menus can be a real pain - way too easy to slip off the side of the menu.
But the freedom to move around the room and not get stuck sitting behind the presenter's machine is well worth it. Would like to try one of these new ones.
