The Evoluent VerticalMouse has EVOLVED with a new look and a host of other improvements - and will be in stock by the end of the month!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to announce the official launch of Evoluent's VerticalMouse 2 - in a new style and color - black with purple accents.

The Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 has the same comfortable and popular design as the original Evoluent VerticalMouse, with a number of enhancements and improvements including:

• Rubber coating on the black body and an improved contour and grip shape on the unit to make the grip more comfortable and require almost no force
• Lighter, easier to click buttons (only 30 gram force required to click compared to 60-90 grams for most mice) and longer button travel with improved tactile feedback.
• Higher resolution optical sensor which operates at 1000 DPI - higher than most other optical mice
• Programmable buttons now can be set to 59 different functions (drag lock, double click, auto dwell click, etc.)

This new improved Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 is available for the affordable price of only $99.99. We are hoping to get our first shipment of these units in by the end of August. It comes with our standard return policy so there is no reason not to try one out.

UPDATE: We have received our first shipment as of August 23rd. We will be shipping out all back orders on August 24th and 25th. We are filling back orders in the order we received them, and have received enough product on our first shipment to meet all back orders received.

Adaptables Mouse Bridges - available in 4 different designs to address every application!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to add the complete line of mouse bridge products from Adaptables, and announce that we are now the Canadian distributor for Adaptables.

The purpose of a mouse bridge is quite simple - to provide a mousing surface over the numeric keypad of a keyboard in circumstances where a compact keyboard with an embedded numeric keypad is not an option. A variety of different models are available, which primarily vary in the manner which the base of the bridge is supported. All come with an optional mouse pad.

By using the space above the numeric keypad (which is often seldom used other than by number crunchers), the reach for the mouse (or other pointing device) is reduced by 4-5", helping to prevent abduction at the shoulder or elbow, and keep you within your 'comfort zone'.

Standard Mouse Bridge		Flat Mouse Bridge
	Attractive clear plexiglass, with notch for access to cursor keys 8" Wide x 9" Deep x 1.5" (front) to 2" (back) High	Attaches directly to the keyboard, making it ideal for fixed split designs or worksurfaces with limited space Available in Grey (in stock) and almond (special order) 5" Wide x 7" Deep x 0.5" High
Side Mouse Bridge		Rear Mouse Bridge
	Side adjustable legs adjust for tilt and angle of any keyboard Reversible (will work on Left Handed Keyboards) 6" Wide x 8" Deep x 0.75"-2.5" (front) and 1.25"-2.5" (back) High	Rear adjustable legs adjust for clearance of higher keyboards 8" Wide x 9" Deep x 1.5" (front) and 2"-2.75" (back) High
Flip Mouse Bridge / Writing Surface
This is an innovative product which offers several desktop solutions in one compact package. If both sections are folded down (over the keyboard) you have an 18" x 9" writing surface. If you fold up the larger section, you have access to your keyboard with a mouse bridge over your numeric keypad. If you do need occasional access to the numeric keypad, you can flip up both sections. A truly innovative product solution. For more information on all these products, see the Desktop Solutions category in our Online Catalog.

A new type of complete mouse, wrist and arm support - the True Arm

True Arm is an arm support designed to benefit all computer users including the Physically Challenged computer users on wheel chairs. This uniquely designed ergonomic arm support is the only one of its kind in the market that can help alleviate Upper Body Stress Syndrome associated with repetitive motion. Upper Body Stress Syndrome can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and other Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI).

This design provides:

• Total shoulder and arm support.
  
• Creates a relaxing and proper sitting posture.
  
• Exact alignment of hand and forearm.
  
• Safe sitting distance from the monitor.
  
• 3.5" x 12" microwavable bean bag arm rest for greater comfort.
• Adaptable for right and left handed users - quick and easy to set up
• Easy vertical height adjustment and convenient horizontal motion
• 26 square inch mousing surface available in black or artic blue

The True Arm allows you to sit back and bring the mouse to you, thereby alleviating the strain on the back and spine. With your wrist properly aligned and in a neutral position, there are less pressure points, muscle tension or restricted blood circulation, which are the main causes of CTS. This innovative product can help to alleviate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) associated with the use of the computer mouse.

Looking for Compact (Canadian) French Language Keyboards? Look no further!

We offer our entry level mini keyboard with a French Canadian layout in both White and Black colors (PS/2 interface). These keyboards have full size letter and number keys, and narrower 'extra' keys (like Pg Up, Pg Dn, Windows App keys, etc.) but offer full 104 key functionality with 88 actual discrete keys. There is a full embedded numeric keypad, and the standard French Canadian Legends are printed on the keycaps.

Labels which affix to keycaps tend to slide off and leave a gummy substance on the keys. Keyboards with printed keycaps are preferable - and we are pleased to be able to offer these keyboards to our customers.

Contour Design's New 'Classic' Perfit Mouse Optical - an upgrade for a Classic design!

The 'Classic' Perfit Mouse is the best ergonomic design available for the traditional style of mouse (i.e. not vertical, or a different type of interface like touchpads or trackballs). It comes in 4 different Right handed models (Small, Medium, Large and Extra-Large) and 3 different Left handed models (Small, Medium and Large). Having different sizes for different sizes of hands optimizes the comfort and responsiveness of the mouse for the user, and the sculpted design and thumb support greatly reduce the gripping or 'pinch' force required to maintain precise control of your mousing actions.

NEW! Now available in an optical version, the 'Classic' Perfit Mouse Optical (pictured above, left) adds the latest technology to the unique design of the original Perfit Mouse. A high precision optical sensor provides excellent cursor control. Below the thumb support, the innovative two-position side rocker switch gives quick and effortless access to two additional programmable buttons. For people who want a vertical scroll, the standard Perfit Mouse Optical (pictured at right) includes a vertical scroll wheel above the thumb support. The key advantage of placing a scroll wheel above the thumb support is to reduce the strain on the index finger, which is already heavily used for the primary mouse click.

Datadesk's Newest Product - the TouchBoard!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to announce the official launch of Datadesk's newest keyboard - the TouchBoard.

The TouchBoard has high quality mechanical keyswitches and an attractive sleek black design. Located in the usual position of the numeric keypad is a Cirque Glidepoint touchpad which completely replaces the need for a mouse. Now you can have a complete keyboard and mouse solution in a single unit which is only 15" wide. There is a single USB plug for the interface, which simplifies cabling and compatability issues. At present only a model for PCs is available (UTP3000) but a model for Mac users is expected later this year. For more information, check out our Keyboards - Combo Category in our Online Catalog.

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, and we have less than 10 units remaining.

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.

NEW: We have also obtained a number of UK layout keyboards. These keyboards are identical in terms of functionality and usage - the only distinction is that the keycaps are slightly different (a pound symbol instead of a dollar symbol, etc.). If you are interested in one of these, we are selling them at a discount of $15 i.e. for $135 instead of the regular price of $150.
