3 Kind Mice – Reduce the risks of RSI

 

Shake hands with the Evoluent 
An ordinary mouse forces your arm to twist away from its natural position. The Evoluent is designed to keep your hand in its most comfortable and healthy position – like a handshake!

This latest version – in a black and silver finish, now features a small lip on the bottom edge that prevents the little finger from rubbing the desk. The Evoluent is also available as a left-handed version.


Plus! Evoluent has five buttons which can be programmed to perform a variety of functions for speeding up common tasks with a single click and reducing repetitive movements.

Everyone is talking about the mouse on its side!

“It’s the best mouse that I have ever used. Due to constant editing, my wrists and fingers would just ache and ache, but once I got the Evoluent Mouse all those pains seemed to lessen. A great product - worth buying.” Alex Martin, Film Editor

AirObic - Relax and take the pressure out of computing
The AirObic Mouse (formerly known as the Quill Mouse) has a unique design which removes the stress and strain found with a standard mouse. It works by creating a posture that allows muscles that are impaired, or are at risk of impairment, to be kept at rest – in a neutral position. Simple!

Mouse grip is known to lead to repetitive motion injuries when mice are used extensively. Even small amounts of grip causes muscle tension that can reduce oxygen levels in the hand. The patented technology used in the AirObic mouse removes constant muscle tension required by gripping, helping to keep your hand more relaxed. Available in left and right handed versions.


“I continue to be most favorably impressed with how comfortable this somewhat radical, but attractive, mouse design is.” Charles Moore, Journalist

MiniPRO2 - A ‘Mini Mouse’ for laptop users!
Using a laptop causes you to bend your wrists and by overusing laptop input devices such as the rollerball, rubberized nipple or pad, you are putting yourself in danger.

MiniPRO 2, available from Keytools


The MiniPRO2 is designed especially for use with laptops. The buttons are positioned one behind the other to avoid the use of the second "hovering" finger. Plus! Its new optical sensor provides supreme cursor control which means less movement of the mouse. 

Molded with a rubberized texture, the MiniPRO2 may be small, but offers a strong grip and excellent control. 

Compact and travel worthy with its protective Pack-N-Go case, the MiniPRO2 will fit easily into a briefcase or pocket to go where ever it is needed.

“I found the MiniPRO2 mouse comfortable and practical. The travel case was handy too!” Claire, Student
