The entry level Beanbag Table is most affordable product and comes in two sizes, 18.75" x 14.5" x 3.125" (BBT - includes a wrist rest) and 14.25" x 10.25" x 2.0" (BBM - no wrist rest - easier to store). You can choose what size platform you need and what degree of portability you require.

The Beanbag Executive Table is 19" x 14.125" x 2.5" and features a solid wood platform with a rich mahogany finish and a black ultra-suede polyester pillow filled with polystyrene beads on the underside to conform to your lap.

Extra-Deep ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray from Foxbay is Now Available!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce the launch of the new custom Extra-Deep ABS Plastic Low Profile Tray by Foxbay, making it the only tray that offers enough depth to accommodate almost any combination of input devices.

This extra-deep tray can now accommodate combinations of devices that would otherwise slightly protrude on the standard tray, for example, when using a central pointing device such as the RollerMouse Free or Mousetrapper Advance with the Kinesis Freestyle Solo keyboard. It is available in several widths (30", 27", 24") and all the trays are 13.0" deep with cutouts for cables in a 1" keyboard guard at the back of the tray.

Handshoe Mouse by Hippus NV now available in Canada!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce the launch of a mouse which fits your hand like a glove and practically eliminates the need to grip, pinch or stretch your fingers when performing mousing actions - the Handshoe Mouse by Hippus NV.

The unique shape of the Handshoe Mouse allows your hand and fingers to relax while mousing, helping to reduce the risk of RSI. The design also provides full support of the hand and wrist, pronation of the hand is reduced by approximately 20°, and the sculpting provides a built-in negative inclination (which prevents wrist extension). There is support for both the thumb and the fifth finger so that neither is 'dragging' on the mousing surface when the mouse moves. Three different sizes are available to ensure a proper fit for each individual, and each comes in three colors - black, white and translucent.

The recommended usage for this mouse is on top of a desk with the forearm fully supported by the desk or arm support of your chair. This will ensure that all mouse movement is accomplished by moving the entire arm and using the upper arm muscles, ensuring that the hand and wrist do not deviate from a neutral position. The Handshoe Mouse has two buttons with scroll wheel (three on the large model). The optical tracking is 800 DPI and no software is required - it works plug and play. It is also available in wireless but only in black (for cordless models, the USB cable charges the battery).

For more information on the Handshoe Mouse from Hippus NV, see the Mouse-Ergonomic category in our → Online Catalog.

LTrac High Performance Laser Optical Trackball by Clearly Superior Technologies now available in Canada!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to announce that the original PC-Trac is reborn again as the the L-Trac High Performance Laser Optical Trackball, from Clearly Superior Technologies. This next generation trackball represents a significant evolution in trackball technology and performance.

Utilizing the latest in laser navigation technology, the L-Trac has selectable resolutions of up to 1600 CPI, which are 'button selectable', allowing rapid changes of sensitivity. The high performance laser navigation system is capable of tracking at greater than 30 inches per second, even at a 20G acceleration rate. This means the user can 'fly' around the screen with a flick of the finger or snap from one side the the screen to the other with a healthy flick of the arm. Either way, this precision, high performance pointing device produces predictable, quick and precise motion that becomes intuitive in a few minutes of use. The optional scroll wheel is smooth and readily accessible, located above the center button.

This performance coupled with the natural contour of the L-Trac makes these trackballs clearly superior for all applications including general computing, gaming and Computer Aided Design (CAD). CAD users love it because you can drag a line one pixel even on today's high resolution displays of 1900x1080. Then, with a button stroke, they can fly around the screen to get general tasks done. Gamers have called it an 'almost unfair advantage', citing the fingertip control and precision, high performance tracking.
