For most shorter people, the Classic RollerMouse (still available in both black and white) may continue to be the preferred option. The Rollerwave accessory (providing double the depth of wrist support) attaches to the PRO model in the same manner as on the Classic RollerMouse.

Exciting new Savant Elite Foot Switch products from Kinesis

ErgoCanada.com is excited to launch a new series of stand-alone programmable foot switches from Kinesis. These foot switches are front-hinged, which are superior to rear-hinged foot switches as you can comfortably rest your foot on the switch without accidentally activating it. When you want to click, you simply press down or slide your foot to the end of the switch where it is easier to depress due to the leverage.

These switches can be assigned any mousing action (left click, right click, double click), keyboard action (any key, including modifier keys like Shift, Control, Alt), macro or combination keystroke you need. This is a great way to offload work from your fingers and hands, and eliminate trigger finger (from clicking) or awkward combination keystrokes.

Models include a single action foot switch, dual action foot switch (pictured at left) and triple action foot switch (pictured to the right). All these units use a USB connection and are fully compatible with PCs and Macs.

For more information on the Savant Elite line of Foot Switches, see the Foot Switch category in our Online Catalog.

Introducing the Zeomi Keyboard for Tab-intensive applications

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to introduce the Zeomi keyboard to Canada. This keyboard is designed for computer users whose applications involve extensive use of the Tab key and want an otherwise conventional keyboard layout and design.

The extra triple-width ZTab key is located where the left, down and right arrow keys are located on the keyboard and generates the same key codes as the standard Tab key on the left edge of a regular keyboard. Applications that use the Tab key to move between fields will benefit from the location and ease of use of the ZTab key, which was specifically designed for data intensive applications, especially for users who are keying in primarily numeric data. The Z Tab key is extra large to allow the use of fingers and thumb to operate the Z Tab key with varying positions of the hand.

For more information on the Zeomi keyboard, see the Zeomi category in our Online Catalog.

Introducing the Keynamics Laptop Stand - a Dynamic Option for your Workspace!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to introduce the Keynamics Laptop Stand to Canada. This is the only laptop stand on the market with wheels - when you need workspace, you can just wheel the stand (with your laptop) out of your way!

This product allows you to recline and change your position as you work. The screen is raised toward the plane of your eyes and the your wrists can be placed in a more neutral posture. You can use the stand on top of your desk or off the front edge of your desk. This stand will safely cantilever your laptop out over the edge of your desk so you can recline. The wheels allow you to quickly move your laptop out of the way, freeing up your desktop for other tasks.

The problem: A typical desk height is 29 inches, which is too high for proper keying and too low for proper viewing. The laptop keyboard is attached to the screen. Raise the screen to correct the viewing angle and your keyboard is too high for proper keying. Lower the keyboard for proper "neutral wrists" and the screen is too low for proper viewing. This creates "The Hunch" posture.

The Laptop Stand On Wheels functionally separates the keyboard from the screen, by changing both the user's position and the laptop position.

Tired of reaching around your laptop? Just Wheel it out of the way! For more information on the Keynamics Laptop Stand, see the Laptop Products category in our Online Catalog.

A new affordable sit / stand arm is available - the Waterloo Duet Arm

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce the launch of a new sit / stand solution - the Duet Arm from Waterloo. With a range of height adjustment from 12.5" above to 6.5" below the worksurface, this product will accomodate a wide range of sit/stand requirements from users whether they are 4' 6" or 6' 4"!

The Duet is available in a 31" and 39" model (this is the horizontal width between the two slim arm supports which are only 0.75" wide each). The 31" model is ideal for a standard sized keyboard, mouse and numeric keypad. The 39" model has sufficient room for a writing surface / work area. The arm provide for tilt adjustment from + 10° to -15° using a standard knob. A field adjustable coil spring adjusts for load counterbalance, and a T-pull mechanism is used for the release to adjust for height using a swing brake design.

This design provides excellent knee clearance (as there is no 'arm' to bump into with your knees) but the trade-off for this benefit (and the increased range of height adjustment) is that this unit is not storable (unlike our other sit-stand keyboard arm solutions).

The white platform / tray shown in the picture at right does NOT come with the arm (the arm itself is pictured at left). You can construct a tray (out of plywood or other material) - we also do offer a specially designed low profile Duet Arm Tray with a 1" keyboard guard which is of the same design as our popular Foxbay line of keyboard trays. For more information, see the Trays category in our Online Catalog.

Cirque SmoothCat Keyboard / Cirque Wave II keyboards Available - but only for a Limited Time

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that we have sourced out a limited number of Cirque SmoothCat / Cirque Wave II style keyboards with UK layout. These are the original keyboards manufactured by Cirque and much sought after by many devoted users. Once these keyboards are sold, there will not be any further units available.

This keyboard has a Cirque Easy Cat Touchpad embedded in the sculpted wrist rest (which with driver will support vertical scrolling) which is located under the cursor control keys. The only other keyboard ever manufactured using the fixed split layout with a touchpad is the Adesso product - and that product has the touchpad located under the space bars. For those who prefer the touchpad in the original location, this is their last chance to buy this product.

These keyboards are identical in terms of functionality and usage to the US layout keyboards - the only distinction is that the keycaps are slightly different (a pound symbol instead of a dollar symbol, etc.).
