HEALTHY MOUSING Based entirely on the latest human factors research, the Switch Mouse is specifically designed to minimize the health risks associated with long-term mousing, including tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Rich in ergonomic features, the innovative Switch Mouse ensures you’ll mouse in comfort.
Problem: One Size Does Not Fit All Most mice do not address the unique requirements of each user, and poor fit can lead to excessive clenching of the hand, muscle fatigue, and discomfort. Solution: Switch Mouse Adjustability Feature The Switch Mouse, with its patented length adjustment, can be sized to fit every user, while its symmetric shape equally accommodates right- or left-handed use of the device.
bad good Problem: Unnatural Angles Traditional mice force the base of the palm to be horizontal to the work surface, which increases wrist and forearm pronation and elevates intracarpal tunnel pressure and the risk for injury. Solution: Switch Mouse V-Shaped Base The tilt of the Switch Mouse, created by the V-shaped bottom of the device, positions the wrist and forearm at a natural angle known to minimize pressure in the carpal tunnel.
Problem: Repetitive Motion Risks While scroll wheels provide convenience, they encourage repetitive motion of the fingers and have been linked to tendon disorders. Solution: Switch Mouse Navigation Dish The Switch Mouse’s circular navigation dish minimizes repetitive motion by accommodating scrolling with a single click. As an added benefit, it also allows for horizontal scrolling.
