Humanscale Ergonomic Mouse rocks like a boat on the bottom

Humanscale Ergonomic Mouse rocks like a boat on the bottomUsing a mouse and keyboard for hours everyday can have some bad effects on the wrist and fingers. When bloggers begin their careers, they start out with beautiful model quality hands, but after awhile they look down and realize that they’re typing with withered witch hands. Okay, not really, but it takes it’s toll. Repetitive stress injuries can cause a lot of pain, which is why you want an ergonomic mouse. And Humanscale has an odd one.

They’ve announced the adjustable ergonomic mouse called the Switch, which can be used for right or left handed users. The Switch has a 45-degree angle on the bottom to help minimize wrist stress and to help it look somewhat like on a boat. Also has a navigation dish that helps prevent injury from constant scrolling. If you’ve ever seen an injury from constant scrolling then you know it can be a gruesome scene, often followed by shouts of “Blogger Down!” and cries for help. No word on price yet.

    Well hello everyone. The bottome of the mouse doesn’t rock, lets be clear on that. It has an angle at the bottom in order to be switched from left to right handed users. It is stable and doesn’t rock, or waiver while using.

    There is a list price of $120, but notice it is LIST price. There is a discount applied to customers which would allow for the mouse to be anywhere from $55-$90. Discount depends on how may are ordered, and if you order from the website (www.humanscale.com) or through a local representative.

    Casey,

    I think our readers are bright enough to know that the mouse does not actually rock like a boat, but we appreciate the clarification. So in closing it does not rock,roll,waiver, or otherwise teeter. :-)
