Product Description

The RollerMouse Free by Contour Design is an alternative mousing device that uses a rollerbar to control cursor movement. It has been designed to fit immediately adjacent to your keyboard or laptop. This places the mousing controls just a few inches below the home keys, keeping your hands within a small work area, eliminating large reaching motions. This central pointing device eliminates the need for a traditional mouse. You control your cursor by rolling a “dowel” control bar with your fingertips with very little effort, both up and down and side to side simultaneously. The RollerMouse Free...

• Eliminates reaching for a traditional mouse, relieving neck, shoulder and elbow pain.
• There is no gripping necessary, thus avoiding the threat of Repetitive Strain Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis.

• Convenient, out of the box, “plug and play” connectivity for both PC and Mac computers.
• Seven powerful button functions right out of the box including: two options for left click, right click, one touch “double click,” scroll wheel, scroll lock, “one touch” copy, “one touch” paste.
• Useful for both laptop and desktop computer applications.

Ergonomic Benefits

Eliminates Overreaching
The design of the RollerMouse Free is meant to eliminate overreaching for your mouse, thus reducing stress and injuries to your shoulder and elbow. Your hands always stay close to the mousing device, so that it is never out of reach. And because the rollerbar is always situated close to both hands, the RollerMouse Free can be used by both left-handed and right-handed users - you can even switch hands from time to time to even the workload!
Lowers Wrist Stress
The palm supports on the RollerMouse Free give added support to your palms as you type on your keyboard, reducing the stress on your wrists.

Features

'Rollerbar' for Cursor Control
The RollerMouse Free's unique feature is the 'RollerBar', a cylindrical trackball with an optical sensor of 800 DPI. The rollerbar works by rolling the bar to move the cursor up and down on the screen. To move the cursor left or right, you simply slide the rollerball side to side.
Longer 'Rollerbar'
The RollerMouse Free also has a longer rollerbar than both the Standard and Pro versions of the RollerMouse, adding an extra 3.5" to the length of the RollerMouse Pro's rollerbar. This latest feature will help reduce ulnar deviation by allowing both hands to continue to activate the rollerbar while wider apart.
Keyboard Risers
The RollerMouse Free comes with detachable keyboard 'risers' which help elevate slim keyboards to a height which prevents accidental movement of the rollerbar. Three height settings are available: 0.25", 0.375", and 0.5".
Underside Cable Management
The cable cord of the RollerMouse Free has different routing systems located underneath the device, allowing you to route your cable either to the upper (left), left (side), or right (side), depending on what is most convenient for your workstation setup.
Palm Supports
The RollerMouse Free also comes with removable palm supports that give relief to your wrists as you type and use the rollerbar. These supports can be removed for cleaning or when not needed.
