Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be offering a new, incredibly versatile and well-manufactured lightweight forearm support which is not only durable enough to stand up to the 'daily grind' but also adjustable enough to meet the needs of any user.

The Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray is designed to support the weight of your arm while using the mouse or keyboard. By taking the weight of the arms off the shoulders, neck and back, fatigue and discomfort arising from computer use can be avoided.

This fully-adjustable, durable articulated gel forearm support provides excellent support and the soft gel rest area ensures that there are no pressure points on the arms - allowing unimpeded circulation during use. This makes it ideal for relaxing and strengthening fatigued or damaged muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

With over 15" of extension from the edge of your desk (12.25" to the centre of the pad) you can easily mount this support to your desk without affecting your workspace. Most individuals will clamp the support just to the right of their keyboard, allowing you to move while supported between your keyboard and mouse.

The movement of the arm is fluid, smooth and effortless; there is no friction and the joints do not offer any resistance when switching from one task to another. The arm has 2 rotation points; the first (closest to the clamp) is used to set the overall height of the support, the second (closest to the user) is to adjust the angle of the gel pad (allowing you to have it sloping downward, upward, or level).

For more information on the new Articulating Gel Forearm Support with Removable Mouse Tray, see the Arm/Palm Rests category in our → Online Catalog

Aviator Laptop Stands by Keynamics Now in Stock!

ErgoCanada.com is excited to be offering the Aviator Laptop Stand which sets a new standard for lightness and compact storage combined with convenient simplicity of setup and innovative features.

The Aviator Laptop Stand by Keynamics is a great product for anyone needing to use their laptops while travelling. It extends the laptop towards you and angles it to increase the height and improve the angle of the screen. This greatly inproves the comfort of using a laptop while flying - even when the seat in front of you is reclined!

When folded for transport it is only 12.62" x .5" x 3.35", and with the Aviator only weighing 250 grams, taking it everywhere you take your laptop is fast and convenient. This product works with all laptops and also elevates the laptop, improving airflow.

For more information on the new Aviator Stand (available in Black, Grey and White), see the Laptop Stands category in our → Online Catalog

The GoogolBoard and GoogolPad, a New Modern Styling for Large Key Keyboard Input Devices

ErgoCanada.com is pleased to be carrying the GoogolBoard and GoogolPad, large key keyboards and numeric keypads which feature sculpted rounded keycaps (like one finds on most 'conventional' keyboards) and a more familiar layout. In addition, these keyboards offer access to windows keys and are native USB.

The Googolboard/GoogolPad uses large, easy-to-read brightly colored keys with white legends to create a fun, creative, educational environment for any child. The brightly colored 1” keys distinguish between numbers, letters, and symbols for easy typing and learning.

The GoogolBoard EZ/GoogolPad EZ uses large easy to read black legends on white 1" keycaps, and will unobtrusively blend into any modern office.

The mechanical keyswitches respond easily to gentle finger pressure, making typing easy and more comfortable, while still providing positive tactile feedback. The oversized keys make either version of this product ideal for individuals with visual impairments or difficulty in targeting keys on regular keyboards. This keyboard is a native USB device and includes a PS/2 adapter, and functions on both PC and Mac (OS 10.3 or higher). The GoogolPad is a native USB device and functions on both PC and Mac (OS 10.3 or higher).

Promotions and Sales - March 2007

Evoluent Bundle

Picture of Evoluent Mice

The Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard is the only compact keyboard with a numeric keypad on the left side. Many right handed individuals find this keyboard ideal as they can put the mouse where the numeric keypad would normally be, and still have access to the keypad with their left hand when needed. The compact layout allows this keyboard to be used in situations where conventional left handed keyboards will not fit.

Ordinary keyboard wrist supports are flat on top to support your hands flat on the keyboards. Your forearms are twisted out of their neutral positions in the same way a forearm is twisted when holding an ordinary mouse. Also, only small areas of the hands contact the wrist support, which causes uncomfortable pressure points. The Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support solves the problem with a contoured surface which reduces forearm twisting and increases the contact areas for greater comfort.

Buy the Evoluent Compact Left Handed Keyboard with the Evoluent PostureRight Wrist Support and save $10 on the bundle!

Add any version of the ever-popular Evoluent VerticalMouse2 to your bundle, and save even more - $15 off Evoluent's triad of products.

For more information, see the Evoluent category in our Online Catalog.

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 (KB800A-PS2-BLK) 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 Zeomi ZTab Keyboard in white features a triple-width TAB key under the cursor arrows, making one handed numerical data input a breeze. It partners nicely with the Classic RollerMouse (the first generation model) in white.

The normal price of the KB800A-PS2-BLK is $30.00, and the price of the RollerMouse PRO is $240.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00, a savings of $20.00 off the regular price!

The normal price of the Zeomi ZTab Keyboard is $55.00, and the price of the RollerMouse Classic is $230.00. Until further notice, we will offer the bundle of both products for $250.00, a savings of $35.00 off the regular price!
