Product Summary |
---|
The rechargeable R-Go Twister Mouse features an ergonomic ambidextrous design that can reduce the risk of mousing-related RSI. This is accomplished through both the 60° angle and the "twist" feature which lets the contoured upper body of the mouse "twist" 180° for either right or left-handed use. The 60° angle of the Twister Mouse greatly reduces pronation, supporting the hand and forearm in a more natural and relaxed position. Switching between left and right hands reduces the strain that is generally put on a single hand by spreading the work to both hands and allowing the hand and fingers to rest between sessions. There is also an illuminated Break reminder that can be activated and customized with the R-Go Break software to encourage regular breaks or switching between hands. Best suited for small or medium-sized hands (165-185 mm*), the Twister Mouse includes small cushioned pads to modify the height of the resting flange for the smaller or narrower hands.
The Twister Mouse has two buttons and a clickable scroll wheel for access to all standard functions and is equipped with an adjustable sensor offering five settings ranging from 400-2400 DPI. The dual-purpose charging/data cord lets it operate as a standard Wired Mouse in addition to the integrated Bluetooth. The 500 mAh rechargeable battery recharges in just two hours and can provide up to 150 hours of working time between charges. The Twister folds for transport and the included storage pouch offers protection during transport between home and office.
* Sizing: The hand should be measured from the tip of the middle finger to the first crease in the wrist. |
Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduces Pronation - The Twister Mouse positions the hands at an angle of 60°. This is sufficient to significantly reduce the pronation of the forearm and can therfore reduce the risk of developing physical issues related to this position. Learn More About Pronation.
Encourages Postural Activity - The option of being able to move the Twister Mouse from left to right while still maintaining an ergonomically advantageous position for both hands encourages individuals to be more engaged with their body. If they begin to feel discomfort they can simply "twist" the body of the mouse and move the mouse to the other hand, facilitating a period of rest.
Can be Adapted to Hand Width - The Twister Mouse ships with cushioned pads that can be added to provide pinkie finger/outer edge of hand support for those with narrower hands. The pads aid in correctly positioning the fingers over the buttons.
No Learning Curve - The traditional design of the Twister Mouse (two buttons and a clickable scroll wheel) minimizes any learning curve. Other than having a third button and 60° slope, the Twister operates as does any common mouse.
Eliminates Risk of Trigger Finger - Because the fingers can rest comfortably against the buttons without activating clicks, they can be permitted to relax. There is no need to curl them back in anticipation of a click, an action which can lead to the development of Trigger Finger. Learn More About Trigger Finger.
Reduces Pain and Force of Clicking - The Twister Mouse features light-activation buttons which require minimal force to activate.

Features |
---|
- 60° Angle: The Twister Mouse offers 60° positioning for the hand, whether Right or Left, reducing pronation.
- Ambidextrous: The Twister Mouse is a "convertible" Ambidextrous mouse in that it is able to offer an ergonomic hand position to both hands, accomplished by "converting" it from hand to hand by 1 180° twist of the upper portion.
- 2 Pinkie/Hand Support Pads: To accommodate varying hand sizes or widths, the Twister Mouse ships with two thickness of pad that can be mounted to the mouse either individually or combined. These pads provide support to the out part of the hand to help keep the fingers in position above the buttons while the hand is resting in a relaxed position on the base of the mouse.
- 5 Sensor Level Settings: The DPI button on the underside of the mouse can be used to cycle the sensitivity through 5 settings (400, 800, 1200, 1600, & 2400).
- Wired or Bluetooth Connections: With the charging/data cord attached the Twister can operate as a standard wired mouse but it can also be connected via Bluetooth for cordless convenience.
- Rechargeable: The 500 mAh rechargeable battery can provide up to 150 hours of use and has a recharge time of just 2 hours.
- Multiple Platform Compatibility: The Twister Mouse is compatible with Windows and Mac operating systems. When switching between left and right hands there is no reason to change button settings due to the vertical orientation of the mouse always having the primary click assigned to the upper button (index finger).
- Integrated Break Indicator: An Integrated Break Indicator cycles through Green, Orange, and Red as a reminder to take regular breaks for resting and stretching. Activate the Break Indicator function by downloading the FREE R-Go Break software.
- Environmentally Friendly: The Twister Mouse is made of 100% recycled plastic and aluminum.

Usage Tips |
---|
- Take advantage of the Ambidextrous design. Train yourself to regularly switch the Twister from Right to Left. Installing the Break Software is a good way of having a reminder. If you detect tension or are having difficulty with cursor control you probably need to "do the twist".
- Adjust DPI to meet your work needs. The Twister Mouse is equipped with a multi-level sensor. The sensor cycles sequentially through the 5 levels. Try different setting to determine which setting provide the best balance between control and performance.
- Charge your Twister Mouse on a regular basis to ensure that you have sufficient charge. Avoid draining the battery too low as this will shorten the lifespan of the rechargeable battery.
