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.

ErgoDex
DX1 Input System Now in Stock and ready for shipment in
Canada!
ErgoCanada.com is the
authorized distributor in Canada of the ErgoDex DX1 Input
System which lets you create a custom physical layout of
keys and then the power to program them with any definition
you desire - Performance at your Fingertips!
Transform your workflow...
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.
Step 2: Give each key a powerful definition, such
as any key on the keyboard, a string of commands to perform,
or a block of text to enter, or launch a browser and take
you to a website. Commands can be as simple or complex as
you want - the DX1 has the power to meet your needs.
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!
For more information on the new DX1 Input System by ErgoDex,
see the Numeric Keypads category in our

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.

New 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 $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!
