SmartFish Technologies is now shipping its ErgoMotion Mouse. It is the first mouse to combine a laser sensor with a swiveling mechanism to match the user’s hand position. This design is said to relieve pain from repetitive stress injuries when using a mouse for long periods of time.
“When using a static mouse, the hand, wrist and arm are confined to a fixed position that limits natural movements and forces robotic gestures which strains your tendons and ligaments causing pain and discomfort over time,” company chief Dr. Jack Atzmon said.
The ErgoMotion Mouse has two buttons, a four-way scroll wheel and a small wireless USB receiver. The ambidextrous mouse is compatible with both Macs and PCs, and costs $49.95.
