Mousetrapper Advance

The Mousetrapper Advance is the latest version of an alternative mousing device that eliminates the need to reach beyond your keyboard:

• The steering pad is located just below where the space bar would be on your keyboard - easily within reach of your hands as they type.
• The design of the Mousetrapper accomodates any traditional or rectangular keyboard, with a flexible gray mat on which you can be place your keyboard.
• Soft, comfortable palm supports relieve your wrists of excessive strain by cushioning your palms and upper forearm while typing.
• Five non-tactile buttons located around the steering pad provide the basic button functions typical of most mice: right click, left click, middle click and double click.
• Compare Mousetrapper Advance with RollerMouse Pro2, RollerMouse Free2 and Trackbar Emotion

• Steering pad: This steering pad is unique to the Mousetrapper. Although it looks like a touchpad, it is more like a treadmill that moves in all directions, not just up and down. Up and down movement is continuous like a treadmill, and left to right movement is set at about 3.5" either way, which is enough to move your cursor across the screen. Your fingers do not move on the surface of the steering pad (as they would on a touchpad), they move the steering pad itself.
• Cursor gliding: When the steering pad's surface can no longer be moved to either side (due to limited left and right movement), but the cursor is not yet at the edge of your screen, the cursor will automatically move to the screen edge. This automatic gliding motion will 'recalibrate' the steering pad so that normal cursor movement can resume. It is a normal part of using the steering pad and does not affect its performance.
• 5 non-tactile buttons: There are five buttons situated around the steering pad. All are non-tactile, which means that there is no noticable 'click' sensation when you press down on the button. Functions include: (top buttons) double click, right click; (bottom buttons) left click, middle click (activates auto-scroll feature), right click. The buttons are also reprogrammable using the software provided for download on the Mousetrapper web site.
• Scrolling: The steering pad also has a scrolling feature, much like the one on Cirque touchpads. To activate this feature, simply place you finger on the rightmost side of the pad and move the pad up and down. Another feature: if you click while moving up, the 'back' function on your browser will be activated; if you click while moving down, the 'forward' function will be activated.
• Palm supports: On either side of the steering pad are soft palm supports which cushion your palms and forearms as you type.
• Manual holder/storage: Just in case you need to quickly refer to the user manual for operating instructions, the underside of the Mousetrapper Advance has a compartment specifically design to store the small manual that comes with the product.
