The Contour Mouse Wireless from Contour Design features a two decade old, proven orthopedically supportive design. Available in several sizes - 3 for the right hand and 2 for the left hand, this design largely eliminates the grip force which is prevalent on most conventional mice. This design features an arch on the middle of the mouse which aligns with the hollow of the hand, supporting and aligning the hand in a similar manner to arch supports in a shoe. This also provides a clear indication of where to position the hand for maximum support, allowing gravity to do much of the work in controlling the mouse. The buttons are extra long and peak at the base of the button, allowing the user to generate clicks from the knuckle closest to the hand instead of the tip of the finger. Scrolling action is transferred to the thumb which permits the fingers to remain at rest by eliminating the awkward traditional "clawing" movement required to spin the wheel. The side thumb rest offers easy access to both the scroll wheel and the rocker switch. The rocker switch is located just below the thumb rest and offers access to back/forward functions when browsing the web or within documents.
The Contour Mouse Wireless is equipped with a 10 level sensor that reads from 800 - 2800 DPI. Sensitivity adjustment is via a single button located on the underside of the mouse. Two-colour LED indicators identify the current DPI setting. The three light-activation buttons feature crisp activation with an audible click. These provide access to Left, Middle and Right Clicks. The newly redesigned scroll wheel is equipped with a rubber tire for grip and has distinct but soft detents.
Users who like to customize their mouse will appreciate the wide range of programmable options that are available. There are five programmable buttons which can be reassigned to perform any standard mouse action as well as a host of specialized actions. For users with a good memory the available PC and Mac compatible drivers also offer the option of setting "program specific" command layouts.
The Contour Mouse Wireless employs 2.4Ghz Advanced Wireless Technology for an operational distance up to 25 feet. The Lithium-ion rechargeable battery charges in 2 hours and can provide up to 3 months use on a single charge. Of course, individual usage will determine the recharge cycle. | Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduces Pronation - The body of the Contour Mouse Wireless is designed to support the hand in a natural position at roughly a 17° angle off the horizontal. The outward slope of the body provides support for the palm and fingers while the elevated thumb rest raises the thumb off the desk to achieve a complimentary alignment.
Reduced Grip Requirements - The raised arch on the top of the mouse acts as a natural reference point for optimum hand positioning. With the thumb properly positioned in the thumb rest, and the elbow in neutral position below the shoulder, gravity assists in keeping the hand in position on the mouse.

Reduces Pain and Force of Clicking - The tips of the fingers should hang slightly over the end of the mouse. This allows the user to click with the base of the first segment of the finger - meaning the user is not bending, hovering or lifting up the finger. This results in only approximately 1/10th of the muscles being required to perform the clicking action. Because the fingers are not poised in preparation to click, the "clicking" fingers remain relaxed, outstretched and supported at all times.
Eliminates the Risk of Trigger Finger - Because the fingers are able to comfortably rest along the body of the Contour Mouse and scrolling is performed by the thumb there is no reason for any finger to be held in a "primed" manner above the mouse.

No Learning Curve - As the design and usage of the mouse are very similar to traditional mice, there is no learning curve or adaptation period required to become accustomed to this mouse.
Full Access to the Middle Mouse Button - Unlike many mice, the middle mouse button is fully accessible to provide macroscroll/autoscroll functionality.
Thumb Scroll Wheel - The scroll wheel is located for easy access using the edge of the thumb without losing the orthopaedic benefits of the mouse. The thumb activation means that the finger can remain at rest along the body of the mouse, rather than being used in an unnatural position to perform scrolling.
Aids in Addressing Wrist Extension and Carpal Tunnel Pressure - Pressure on the underside of the wrist is reduced by keeping it off the desk top. Wrist alignment is straighter and less likely to deviate laterally (i.e. twisting of the wrist). The hand is balanced in a neutral, tilted posture.

- Contoured Thumb Support with Integrated Scroll Wheel & Two Position Rocker Switch: The 2 position side rocker switch uses light touch switches and is designed to not require pinch force to activate. The switches "click" with a very slight forward or backward motion of the thumb. The angular Rocker Switch is rubber coated and textured to provide maximum control with little effort. The scroll wheel has a centre rubber tire for to ensure slip-free scrolling.
- Back/Forward Thumb Buttons: Browsing Back and Forward is easily accomplished via the thumb activated Rocker Switch located just below the side thumb rest.
- Multiple Platform Compatibility: The Contour Mouse Wireless is a plug-and-play device. All basic functionality is available without the need to install drivers.
