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, see the Laptop Accessories category in our → Online Catalog

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.

  • Scroll, Zoom: Quickly activate vertical/horizontal scrolling as well as magnification tools by gliding a finger along the touchpad edges.
  • Mouse-like features: Right-clicks are accessible by tapping a finger in the touchpad's upper right corner.

RollerMouse Bundle Promotion

Picture of RollerMouse PRO  with A Style Keyboard

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!
