Cirque SmoothCat Keyboard and Cirque Wave II keyboard
Available - but only for a Limited Time
ErgoCanada.com
is excited to announce that we have sourced out a limited
number of Cirque SmoothCat keyboards and Cirque Wave II
keyboards. 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.
We are taking back orders on these units, and expect to
receive the products in the last week of May. If you have
been looking for the Cirque SmoothCat or Wave II keyboard
this may be your last chance to purchase this product.

Strength of Canadian Dollar Translates into Big Savings
A good portion of our pricing on ErgoCanada.com
is based on the list price in US dollars direct from the
manufacturer. With the recent increase in the strength of
our dollar against the US dollar, many of the products on
the site have been reduced in price, in some cases by as
much as $25! Take this opportunity to stock up on products
for your home or office workstation, or buy that product
that was slightly out of reach of your budget.

ErgoCanada.com is excited
to announce that we are now offerring the full line of laptop
workstations by Bakker-Elkhuizen. The concept behind their
accessories is simple:
offer variable elevation of the laptop screen so it
can be raised to an optimal height and depth (distance
from the user)
provide a built-in document holder (which rests on top
of the laptop keyboard) and is immediately below the screen,
eliminating the need to look from right to left - now
the screen, documents and keyboard can all be in one vertical
line, reducing undue head and neck motion
when used with a separate keyboard and mousing solution,
you have a complete ergonomic workstation solution for
the laptop, and can realize savings as there is no need
to purchase a monitor as the laptop screen can now be
used without discomfort
ErgoCanada.com
is proud to announce that we will be distributing the line
of vehicle laptop mounts from Interactive Products Corp. These
units will provide an articulating mounting solution for nearly
any vehicle.

friction lock) tilt and rotate mechanism at the base of
the pedestal. The desktop has forward and backward tilt,
as well as side to side tilt and is permanantly mounted
to the pedestal. The LapTraveler RWHD Series Mobile Desk
comes with three telescoping tubes: straight, 45º and
