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 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.)

The regular price of this unit is $99.99 (in Canadian dollars, of course). We are hoping to get our first shipment of these units in by the end of July. As a special incentive to order yours today, all orders for the Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 received before July 31st will receive a special $5 instant rebate off the regular price - and as always, the Evoluent VerticalMouse 2 comes with our standard return policy so there is no reason not to try one out.

UPDATE: We expect our first shipment of mice to arrive August 9th, as long as there are no more delays. Sorry for the inconvenience, but be assured we are doing all we can to get the product to Canada as soon as possible (the ETA for US distributors is the same).

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.

Kantek offers a wide range of products including Monitor Visors, Privacy / Glare Filters and much more!

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to add Kantek's several innovative lines of products to our product range, and announce that we are now the Canadian distributor for Kantek.

Kantek produces monitor visors to fit monitors of all sizes from 14" to 21", and are available in both light grey and black. Monitor visors prevent overhead and lateral reflection and glare, either from overhead lighting or windows. The full length sides provide privacy and the entire unit is fully adjustable and made of durable high impact plastic. Installation is quick, easy and requires no tools. For more information, check out our Monitor Accessories Category in our Online Catalog.

Kantek Secure-View Filters
Provides security for your sensitive data

• Keep confidential work secure from prying eyes
• Viewing area from the front it is clear, from the side it is blurred
• Eliminates glare and increases contrast
• Available in Contour Style (designed to look like part of your monitor) and Centre Mount Style
• Available for traditional CRT monitors and LCD monitors

In today’s open office environment it is becoming more difficult to secure confidential data, personal information, financial records, etc. from being viewed by unauthorized eyes. To help eliminate this problem Kantek has developed the Secure-View filter with 'View Control Technology'. When viewed from the front, the image is perfectly clear; when viewed from either side, the image is blurred, thereby providing privacy.

The Secure-View Filter can help organizations providing health care services meet the requirements which came into effect under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as of January 1, 2004. Since January 1, 2004, the Act similarly protects the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in the course of any commercial activity in Canada, where there is no provincial legislation in place that is deemed to be substantially similar to the federal law (all provinces except for Quebec).

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.
