RollerMouse Bundle Promotion

Picture of RollerMouse PRO with A Style Keyboard

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.

Keyboards with a conventional rectangular design tend to work best with the RollerMouse product, and we have two options which offer unique features. The "A" Style keyboard (KBS720UB or KBS720B) offers an ultra thin design that's the correct height for integration with the RollerMouse PRO. Another benefit is the unique 'A' shape of the keys which promotes improved ergonomic positioning.

The normal price of the KBS720B is $20.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $250.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $260.00, a savings of $10.00 off the regular price!
