Evolution Mouse-Trak by ITAC Systems - Detailed Specifications Page

Finally, a trackball designed for individuals with very large hands or very long fingers, with the added bonus of driverless programmability.

For a select group of users, reducing fatigue is simply not enough. These people often use a mouse continually for 8 or more hours at a time and require a device which also eliminates the tiring motions which are caused by "double-click" and "click and drag" applications. They require a device which saves steps, reducing their physical stress. For these users, ITAC Systems presents the Evolution Mouse-Trak. This is the most highly evolved trackball available today. Designed for use in ergonomic workstations by the most demanding power users.

The evolution MOUSE-TRAK has six keys, yet it works with standard two or three button mouse drivers provided with your operating system. Each button is user programmable without the use of proprietary drivers. ITAC could have made programming easier by providing proprietary drivers, as some mouse/trackball manufacturers have done. Their market research and experience have shown us that to do so would create future driver support headaches for our users. Microsoft has a long history of O/S upgrades which cause proprietary drivers to stop working (along with the product supported by the driver.) ITAC has chosen to make programming a bit tougher in order to assure its users that future support will be easier.

Features:

• Elevated integrated hand support for maximum stress reduction.
• Key position allows wrist to rotate to a more "thumbs-up" position, lowering wrist fatigue.
• Keys move inward when pressed, instead of up and down - providing a smaller, less tiring motion.
• Vertical Scroll Toggle
  • This feature provides the ability to lock the trackball to register only vertical movement for rapid scrolling in large documents.
• Six large keys positioned to fall under the thumb and fingers more easily, further reducing wasteful movements.
  • The default configuration for the Evolution Mouse-Trak is as follows (keys numbered left to right).
    • Key 1: Vertical Scroll Lock
    • Key 2: Logical Key 1 (Left Key) single click
    • Key 3: Logical Key 1 double click
    • Key 4: Logical Key 1 click and drag
    • Key 5: Logical Key 2 (Middle Key) single
    • Key 6: Logical Key 3 (Right Key) single
  • The four most heavily used mouse actions are on keys next to the ball (helps those with small hands).
• Click, Double-Click and Click-and-Drag without complicated driver setup.
• Extremely light ball movement force reduces user effort.
• Advanced users can reprogram the keys for single stroke Click, Double Click or Click-and-Drag. This means less movement, less confusion, more productivity. Programming instructions can be found here.
• Evolution is ambidextrous and can be configured for left or right handed users.

A unique feature of the Evolution Mouse-Trak is its ability to shift from right hand to left hand operation by a simple chording (pressing multiple keys at once like playing a chord on the piano) of the keys. In default setting, your Evolution Mouse-Trak is programmed for right hand operation. Once it is programmed for left handed use, it will remain in left handed mode even if the power is turned off.

• Reliable stainless steel shafts and bearings.
