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 Desktop Solutions category in our → Online Catalog.

This is the ultimate input experience for anyone who spends many hours at a time at the PC.

Step 1: First, position the keys to fit your hand, and arrange the keys just where you've always wanted them.

In software like Photoshop or Fireworks, you can perform a list of actions, such as resizing a picture, applying a stroke to it, and optimizing it for the web, in that order, all on one key.

The DX1 is a great time saver and performance booster for your work..

Everybody has unique hands, so why should we use identical keyboards? The DX1 is molded by you to be as convenient and comfortable as possible. Place as many or as few keys as you like on the tray and then program each key to perform many commands in a row!

Perific Dual Mouse - Less Expensive Corded Model now in stock!

ErgoCanada.com is the exclusive distributor in Canada of the Perific, available as either the Perific Wireless Dual Mouse and now (NEW) the Perific Dual Mouse. The Perific Dual Mouse has the same ergonomic advantages as the Perific Wireless Dual Mouse. The difference is that the Dual Mouse is corded.

This corded version is lighter and makes it easier to get started with the Perific Dual Mouse as there are no batteries and no transmitter. The mouse is delivered with a 6 foot cable that enables you to use it without any restrictions, e.g. in your lap. Since the wire is very thin it will not be in the way or restrict your freedom of movement. You can use either model in a variety of ways (providing multiple methods for mousing, which prevents the overuse of any muscles) including:

  • As a standard desktop mouse
  • Held in both hands, resting in your lap, leaning back in your chair
  • As a trackball on your desk
  • Held in one hand, free of the desktop, in any way that feels comfortable
  • Worn on the hand, for rapid but strain-free switching between mouse and keyboard.

For more information on all the Perific Mice, see the Mouse - Alternative category in our → Online Catalog.

Cozy Legs (CL) - warm the space anywhere you sit with the Cozy Legs radiant heating panel. Mount it to your desk or use the optional stand so you can place it at an optimal position and orientation.

New 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 $245.00. While supplies last, we will offer the bundle of both products for $260.00, 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 $235.00. While supplies last, we will offer the bundle of both products for $255.00, a savings of $35.00 off the regular price!
