Matias Optimizer Keyboard now available!

is announcing the launch of the new Matias Optimizer Keyboard,
designed for accountants, writers, engineers, and anyone
who wants to get their work done faster. The Optimizer puts
the commands you use most right at your fingertips, saving

to reach the commands you use all day, every day. The Optimizer
puts those commands MUCH closer at or near where
your hands already are so no time is wasted moving
them. An optimizer 'shift' key replaces the CapsLock key,
providing access to a layer of additional functions including:
Arrow
Keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Equal (=) on Number
Pad, Cut, Copy, Paste, Enter, Esc, Delete, Backspace, Erase
Word, Select, Select All, Select Word, Move by Word, Web

Lock.

Evoluent Bundle
|
|
The Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard is the only
compact keyboard with a numeric keypad on the left side. Many
right handed individuals find this keyboard ideal as they can
put the mouse where the numeric keypad would normally be, and
still have access to the keypad with their left hand when needed.
The compact layout allows this keyboard to be used in situations
where conventional left handed keyboards will not fit.
Ordinary keyboard wrist supports are flat on top to support your
hands flat on the keyboards. Your forearms are twisted out of
their neutral positions in the same way a forearm is twisted when
holding an ordinary mouse. Also, only small areas of the hands
contact the wrist support, which causes uncomfortable pressure
points. The Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support solves
the problem with a contoured surface which reduces forearm twisting
and increases the contact areas for greater comfort.
Buy the Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard
(in Black or Purple) with the Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support
and save $10 on the bundle!
Add any version of the ever-popular Evoluent
VerticalMouse 2 or VerticalMouse 3 to your bundle, and save even
more - $15 off Evoluent's triad of products.
For more information, see the Evoluent category in our Online
Catalog.

RollerMouse Bundle Promotion
|
|
The RollerMouse Pro 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.
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-PS2-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
(the first generation model) in white.
The normal price of the KB800A-PS2-BLK is $30.00, and the price
of the RollerMouse PRO is $240.00. Until further notice, we
will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00, 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!
