The RollerMouse PRO 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.

We have found the perfect keyboard for the RollerMouse. The "A" Style keyboard offers an ultra thin design that's the correct height for integration with the RollerMouse. Another important ergonomic feature is the unique 'A' shape of the keys which promotes improved ergonomic positioning.

The normal price of the KB800A-USB-BLK is $35.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $250.00. While supplies last, we will offer the bundle of both products for $265.00, a savings of $20.00 off the regular price!
