IOP's full line of LCD Arms are now available in Canada!
ErgoCanada.com is proud
to announce that we are now distributing the complete line
of LCD Arms, CRT Arms and Laptop Arms by Innovative Office
Products. Types of arms available include Single LCD Monitor
Radial and Articulating Arms, and Single LCD Wall and Ceiling
Mounts. Multi-LCD Monitor Mounts include the ArcView and
LCD Pole System providing varying degrees of independent
adjustability. Data Entry, Laptop and Point of Sale Arms
offer support for various input devices in addition to the
LCD monitor. A large number of CRT arms are also available.
Most of the LCD Arms include the innovative Universal FlexMount
option, which bundle all the most common mounting options
with each arm (wall mount, desk edge mount, through desk
mount, reverse wall mount, side bolt, grommet hole clamp
mount) which eliminates the worry of deciding which mount
you need for your application. In addition, all the LCD
arms include both 75 mm and 100 mm VESA adapters which work
with most LCD monitors.

Sun-Flex offer two styles of durable document / book holders
- will be in stock May 8th
ErgoCanada.com
is pleased to be carrying the CopyFlex II and CopyFlex III
products from Sun-Flex in Sweden. These inline metal document
holders provide a more heavy-duty solution to document management
than most traditional document holders on the market, filling
the space from the bottom of your monitor to the top of
your keyboard.
Both products include:
- An adjustable aluminum strip for rule guide, with magnifying
function built in
- Heavy duty enough to accomodate non-reference books
(i.e. spines under 2")
- Rubber coated surface to prevent paper from slipping
off
- Top quality slides with ball bearings ensure easy movement
with friction knob to lock the slide in place
- Easel is 15" Wide x 7" High
- Can be used for occasional writing tasks
The
CopyFlex II (pictured at right, above) allows you adjust
the angle of the easel to seven different angles, and the
height of the easel to 8 different positions. And when not
in use, you can store it in integrated 2.5" or 80 mm
monitor riser which is a robust, varnished sheet-metal box.
The CopyFlex III (pictured at left, below) is not storable,
making it more appropriate for situations where the monitor
should not be raised from the desk surface. The base of
the unit still is under the monitor, but only raises the
monitor 2 mm. The angle is adjustable as is the height,
and it weighs 7 lbs.
For more information on the Sun-Flex line of products,
see the Book Holders category in our
→ Online Catalog.

Lapworks Laptop Desk 2.0 - a Foldable, Portable, Laptop
Accessory
ErgoCanada.com
now has the Laptop Desk 2.0 in stock, the only lap desk
product on the market that easily converts from a laptop
tray to a desktop stand for your notebook!
In
the desktop application, you can choose from one of five
typing angles. Positioning the keyboard in an incline can
assist in reducing shoulder and back strain (it helps to
lean back in your chair). At full extension, the support
arm raises the screen level by 3 1/4" closer to eye
level reducing neck strain. Of course it is always recommended
to use an external keyboard and mouse when using your laptop
to ensure ideal ergonomic posture.
With normal use of your notebook on your desktop, you will
often hear the cooling fan turn on to cool the computer.
With the Laptop Desk 2.0, you will hear the fans turn on
much less often. Ventilation channels in the product cool
your notebook through convection and contact with the no-slip
rubber surfaces cool your notebook by conduction by at least
15-20%.
The versatile Laptop Desk is lightweight and folds for
easy storage (Folded Size: 11.13" x
10.69" x 0.63") in your laptop bag (Weight:
1 lb 6 oz). When you're away from a desk or fixed
work surface, simply unfold the Laptop Desk for a wide,
stable and comfortable platform of super-strong polycarbonate
material right on your lap (Unfolded Size:
20.56" x 11.13" x 0.31").
For more information on the new Laptop Desk 2.0 by Lapworks,

MicroDesk by Good Use Company is now available in Canada!
|
ErgoCanada.com
is proud to announce that we are the exclusive
distributor in Canada of the Good Use Company
line of Writing Surface products.
The Standard Microdesk (at right) is
a clear, plastic sloping writing surface with
adjustable non-slip feet that fits over the
top of your keyboard. It is made of heavy-duty
plastic which provides a solid stable writing
surface, and includes a line guide so it can
be used as a document holder. In addition, it
is heavy-duty enough to handle event the heaviest
book. It is intended for single-height worksurfaces
and features a sloped design.
The Step Microdesk (at left) is designed for
dual level desks or desks with a pull-out keyboard
drawer or articulating keyboard arm / tray.
It has a 'step' or cutout to allow it to fit
over the edge of the higher worksurface, and
is the same height at the front as at the back.
The writing surface on both products is 22"
x 12" deep, and the front height is adjustable
between 3" and 5". The rear of the
unit on the Standard Microdesk is adjustable
between 5.5" and 7.5", and on the
Step Microdesk between 3" and 5" (as
the surfaces are different heights, the unit
doesn't need to provide the slope). Both units
include a non-slip line guide to hold papers
in place and help with viewing documents.
|
|
|
|
Benefits of the MicroDesk include:
- Stops your body twisting, when writing to the
side of the keyboard, as your papers are placed
directly in front of you.
- Stops you reaching over papers to get to your
keyboard.
- Has a clear surface which allows you to see the
keys.
- Utilizes space between keyboard and monitor screen.
|
|
|
Before - without the Microdesk, your body twists
when you use a keyboard and work with papers at the
same time. |
|
After - with the Microdesk shown with ruler
in use, your body stays in perfect alignment for both
keyboard and writing tasks. |
For more information on the new Microdesk line of products,
see the Writing Solutions category in our
→ Online Catalog.

RollerMouse Bundle Promotion
|
|
The RollerMouse is a unique and highly effective ergonomic pointing
device that helps prevent strain and tension of upper extremity
muscles including shoulders and elbows. It is a remarkable way
to control the cursor without the need to grip or reach for a
mouse, and requires minimal space.
Available in two versions the Pro and Classic. The Pro's rollerbar
is 67% longer than the Classic's and has 5 buttons instead of
three. The Classic is ideal for individuals with smaller shoulder
widths and who want to connect a PS/2 mouse directly to the unit.
The Pro is only available in black while the Classic is available
in both black and white. Both versions are USB and PS/2 compatible.
Keyboards with a conventional rectangular design tend to work
best with the RollerMouse product, and we have two options which
offer unique features. The "A" Style keyboard (KB800A-USB-BLK)
offers an ultra thin design that's the correct height for integration
with the RollerMouse PRO. Another benefit is the unique 'A' shape
of the keys which promotes improved ergonomic positioning.
The Zeomi ZTab Keyboard in white features a triple-width TAB
key under the cursor arrows, making one handed numerical data
input a breeze. It partners nicely with the Classic RollerMouse
in white.
The normal price of the KB800A-USB-BLK is $35.00, and the price
of the RollerMouse PRO is $240.00. Until further notice, we
will offer the bundle of both products for $255.00, a savings
of $20.00 off the regular price!
The normal price of the Zeomi ZTab Keyboard is $55.00, and the
price of the RollerMouse Classic is $230.00. Until further
notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00,
a savings of $35.00 off the regular price!
