The Handshoe Mouse (BlueRay Track with Light Click Force) from Hippus NV is the newest revision of the Handshoe Mouse and is now available in both RIGHT and LEFT models. The Handshoe Mouse is designed to fit your hand like a glove - no gripping, no pinching, no stretching fingers. The unique shape of the mouse allows your hand and fingers to completely relax while not actively mousing, helping to reduce the risk of RSI. The design comes in three different sizes which provide full support of the hand, wrist and fingers while actively mousing. The recommended usage for this mouse is on your desk with your forearm fully supported by the desk or arm support of your chair.

The Handshoe Mouse does not require any passive muscle tension or use, and prevents you from using any excessive muscle exertion while actively using the mouse, making it the only mouse on the market that is almost impossible to 'misuse'. Negative effects from 'anticipation of the click' (resulting in raised fingers and overexertion of the extensor muscles on traditional mice) are greatly reduced by the stabilized finger arch position provided by the design of the HandShoe Mouse. The design also incorporates a thumbrest which supports the thumb in a neutral and relaxed fashion, which also makes the Handshoe Mouse a potentially good option for those experiencing thumb-related issues.

The optical tracking uses advanced BlueRay Track technology combined with a 1500 DPI sensor which will work on almost any surface. The new LIGHT CLICK FORCE BUTTONS dramatically reduce the effort needed to activate clicks. There are two buttons with scroll wheel (three on the large model). No software is required - it works plug and play. It comes in black and is available in wired or wireless (USB cable charges battery).

Due to the greater amount of weight resting on a Handshoe Mouse (larger mouse, weight of hand and part of forearm) it is recommended that a firm, low friction mousing surface be used to reduce the effort required to move it. [less]

The VerticalMouse 4 is the latest generation of the well-known Evoluent mouse. The uniquely patented contoured design transforms the traditional palm down mousing position to a vertical handshake position which offers increased comfort for many users. A number of improvements were included in this 4th iteration including a larger flange along the bottom of the mouse to prevent the user's fifth finger from dragging on the desk. The thumb rest has been improved to provide even more comfort and reduced grip force requirements over earlier versions.

Performance based improvements include an easier-to-access pointer speed control button on the side of the mouse allowing the user to select between Extra Low, Low, Medium and High, giving users the ability to select the degree of precision they require for each task. An additional thumb button can also be assigned once a driver is installed.

The standard VerticalMouse 4 is available in both right and left-handed models, and comes in a dark grey housing with silver buttons. A small version of this mouse is also available only in a right handed model, and is easily distinguished as it has a black housing with purple buttons. If you are unsure which size of Evoluent VerticalMouse to get, these general guidelines should be useful:

Users over five feet and seven inches in height (> 5'7" [170 cm]) should order the regular-sized mouse (VM4R). Users under five feet and four inches in height (< 5'4" [162 cm]) should order the small-sized mouse (VM4S). For users between these two heights, either size of mouse may be suitable depending on other physical attributes - please call our toll-free number at 1 (866) 335-3746 for further assistance. [less]

The Contour Mouse Optical (CMO) is now available in a Pewter or Gun Metal silver color and is the latest version of the Contour Mouse product line. This line, previously referred to as the Perfit (the contraction of Perfect and Fit) Mouse has evolved since it was first introduced in 1995. The new Contour Mouse Optical features a new Pewter Silver colour, satin-like finish and new styling, facilitating usage of the mouse in Mode 1 (gross movement) and Mode 2 (fine movement). Note: It has come to our attention that some users find that the new satin-like finish does not grip their hands in the same manner as previous finishes, resulting in the hand sliding down and back into Mode 2 positioning. The new colouration complements the decor of most modern computer workstations. The Small Left model is currently only available in the previous black model, with all other sizes available in the new silver color. [less]

The VerticalMouse 4 Small is a new option which arrived with the latest generation of the well-known Evoluent mouse. The uniquely patented contoured design transforms the traditional palm down mousing position to a vertical handshake position which offers increased comfort for many users. A number of improvements were included in this 4th iteration including a larger flange along the bottom of the mouse to prevent the user's fifth finger from dragging on the desk. The thumb rest has been improved to provide even more comfort and reduced grip force requirements over earlier versions. This smaller version of the VerticalMouse 4 is approximately 80% of the size of the standard sized Evoluent.

Performance based improvements include an easier-to-access pointer speed control button on the side of the mouse allowing the user to select between Extra Low, Low, Medium and High, giving users the ability to select the degree of precision they require for each task. An additional thumb button can also be assigned once a driver is installed.

The small VerticalMouse 4 is only available in a right handed model, and comes in a black housing with purple buttons. The standard versions of this mouse are easily distinguished as they have a dark grey housing with silver buttons.

The Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse from Posturite allows the user to rest either hand comfortably alongside the vertical structure, encouraging the use of the gross motor muscles in the forearm and upper arm to manoeuvre the mouse. Fine cursor control can be achieved with small hand and/or finger movements. Its ambidextrous design and central ‘bow-tie’ switch allow for easy transition between right and left handed use. The weight of the hand resting on the base ensures easy movement and control of the mouse, reducing the need to "grip" the mouse and permitting the fingers to remain relaxed while still being in optimum position for clicking. Features include adjustable DPI (400, 600, 800, or 1200) and a precision scroll wheel. The Penguin is available in both wired and wireless models. Originally it was available in two Sizes - Small and Standard. It is currently available in 3 sizes - Small, Medium (formerly the Small), and Large (formerly Standard). While the names have changed the Model Numbers have not, so ordering by model number will correctly identify which current size you wish to purchase. If in doubt please feel free to contact us to determine the appropriate choice. As a general guide for selecting the appropriate size, measure the distance between the top of wrist and tip of middle finger - if it is under 16.0 cm choose the Small, between 16.0 cm and 18.0 cm choose the Medium, and above 18.0 cm select a Large model. If you have unusually long fingers or a very broad hand or if you are unsure whether a given size will work we encourage you to contact us. See our downloadable sizing chart. [less]

The DXT Fingertip Mouse from City Ergonomics is an ergonomic vertical mouse designed to enable the hand and wrist to adopt a relaxed vertical posture. Control of the mouse is achieved by using the small muscles and joints of the fingers as opposed to the larger muscle groups of the shoulder and arm. The fingertips provide far more sensitivity, control and feedback than the arm which is why they are more suited for finer, precise movements requiring greater dexterity such as mousing. The unique design is also ambidextrous, allowing the user to easily balance the workload between the left and right hand.

The DXT Fingertip Mouse is ideal for those individuals who seek the precision and control afforded by a stylus, but in an ergonomic design which realizes that a pen and a mouse should not be designed with the same considerations. [less]

The OrthoMouse from Orthovia is designed to put your hand in the 'position of function'. When you flex your fingers (i.e. curling your fingers into a ball) you are using the flexor muscles in your hand. When you open your hand (extending your fingers to a straight position) you are using your extensor muscles. The position of function is the point of balance between these two sets of muscles. This design also enhances the tactility of the mouse by using the extra sensitivity in your fingertips to provide maximum precision and accuracy.

The sensor is near the 'top' or tip of the mouse, directly below your fingertips, making the act of targeting and positioning the cursor a direct extension of your fingers (much like writing).

In order to accommodate the various hand sizes, the OrthoMouse comes with several slide-on attachments at the base and top of the mouse to accommodate different hand sizes and methods of use. This ensures an increased sense of tactility and confidence in cursor positioning, resulting in a very small learning curve. This mouse is ideally suited for anyone who is seeking a sense of precision and high tactile feedback including graphics designers and gamers.

Now available in Wireless (see detailed specifications for further details). [less]

The Rockstick Mouse offers an ingenious alternative to address the single most repetitive activity while using a computer - generating left mouse clicks. Instead of clicking a button, the user need only 'rock' the 'stick' portion of the mouse (tilting it slightly to the left for a left click, and to the right for a right click). Finally, users can mouse without lifting a finger! This makes this mouse a potentially good alternative for individuals with trigger finger, arthritis, or anyone who has difficulty clicking when using the mouse by allowing individuals to use the muscles in their entire hand to click instead of being limited to the strength and endurance of a single finger.

The base of the mouse supports the hand and provides control of the mouse without the need to 'grip' the mouse. The vertical orientation of the Rockstick also eliminates pronation which is the rotation to a palm down position which for some people can also lead to discomfort while mousing.

At the top of the stick is a vertical scroll wheel which can be clicked to generate middle clicks. The Rockstick Mouse comes in two sizes, a Small/Medium size and a Large size, and is corded. [less]

The newly redesigned Goldtouch Mouse is based on the shape of the original Goldtouch Mouse, and maintains a similar hand position (24° reduction in pronation) as the original. The concave thumb area is rubberized to provide superior grip and sense of control. The buttons are oversized to provide more muscle options for clicking actions. The design of this mouse is not a radical departure from 'conventional' mice resulting in a very quick learning curve. The corded model is available in a left and right handed version, the bluetooth model is only available in a right handed model at present.
