ErgoUP and ErgoCURVE Foot Rests from ErgoDynamics is Now Available!

ErgoUP and ErgoCURVE Foot Rests from ErgoDynamicsThe ErgoUP Single Leg and Foot Rest attaches the cylinder on most standard office chairs and provides an ergonomic elevating leg rest ottoman that seamlessly integrates into a work environment. The support quickly attaches to the central post of your office chair with a velcro strap and rotates 360° to move to the side or rear of chair when not in use or to easily get into and out of the seat. The leg support ottoman can be adjusted in height and distance from the seat, and the pad is 12" wide x 12" deep and 1.5" thick and automatically tilts to a comfortable angle for the user. It is available with furniture fabric or leatherette coverings, with the option of regular foam or memory foam.

Mousetrapper Flexible from Mousetrapper is Now Available!

Mousetrapper Flexible from MousetrapperThe Mousetrapper Flexible brings the flexibility of portability and wireless to central pointing devices. A 'Steering Pad' is centrally located in the device so that it is just below your keyboard, making access to the keyboard easy for both hands, while reducing the necessity of moving a mouse from side to side. The surface of the pad 'grips' the finger tip, allowing the finger to easily steer the pad in any direction. Control requires very minimal effort as the pad moves effortlessly. For some, usage of a steering pad is more intuitive than rollerbars, touchpads and trackballs due to its two-dimensional design. The compact size of the Flexible also makes it highly portable, allowing it to be used with both traditional keyboards or compact keyboards in a laptop workstation.

The Mousetrapper Flexible can be used both wirelessly (the built-in rechargable battery is charged via the included USB cable) or wired (using the same USB cable).

Handshoe Mouse (BlueRay Track with Light Click Force) from Hippus is Now Available!

Handshoe Mouse (BlueRay Track with Light Click Force) from HippusThe Handshoe Mouse (BlueRay Track with Light Click Force) from Hippus NV is the newest revision of the Handshoe Mouse and is now available in both RIGHT and LEFT models. The Handshoe Mouse is designed to fit your hand like a glove - no gripping, no pinching, no stretching fingers. The unique shape of the mouse allows your hand and fingers to completely relax while not actively mousing, helping to reduce the risk of RSI. The design comes in three different sizes which provide full support of the hand, wrist and fingers while actively mousing. The recommended usage for this mouse is on your desk with your forearm fully supported by the desk or arm support of your chair.

The Handshoe Mouse does not require any passive muscle tension or use, and prevents you from using any excessive muscle exertion while actively using the mouse, making it the only mouse on the market that is almost impossible to 'misuse'. Negative effects from 'anticipation of the click' (resulting in raised fingers and overexertion of the extensor muscles on traditional mice) are greatly reduced by the stabilized finger arch position provided by the design of the HandShoe Mouse.

The optical tracking uses advanced BlueRay Track technology combined with a 1500 DPI sensor which will work on almost any surface. The new LIGHT CLICK FORCE BUTTONS dramatically reduce the effort needed to activate clicks. There are two buttons with scroll wheel (three on the large model). No software is required - it works plug and play. It comes in black and is available in wired or wireless (USB cable charges battery).
