The Logitech Trackman Wheel is an ergonomic mouse which uses a scroll wheel to navigate the cursor around the screen, meaning it can stay in one position, saving on space and wrist movement. It is a right-handed mouse; there is no left-handed design.
Ergo Journal met with Ian Fletcher-Price (CEO of Posturite Ltd) at the Safety & Health Expo at the NEC in Birmingham. Ergo Journal filmed Ian showcasing their latest product ‘The Posturite Penguin‘ – the world’s first truly ambidextrous vertical mouse.
The design of the Microsoft Arc Mouse combines the comfort of a desktop mouse and the portability of a notebook mouse.
The Arc Mouse folds to 60% of its fully expanded size using a strong metal hinge. Folding the mouse so it is completely closed also automatically turns it off.
The Hand Shoe Mouse is an ergonomic computer mouse developed by Dutch manufacturer Hippus.
The Hand Shoe Mouse removes the need to hold, or grip the mouse. The wrist, hand, thumb and fingers are supported in a relaxed position, of around 15 to 30 degrees, by the contour shape of the mouse.
Contour Design specializes in the design and manufacture of unique and comfortable computer mice. The traditional computer mouse placed next to the keyboard requires the user to constantly stretch and reach outside the Optimal Work Zone which gradually over time can result in RSI injuries (repetitive strain injuries). As a lot of computers are supplied with a poorly designed but free of charge mouse, end users never get to experience what it means to work with equipment designed for humans rather than computers.
Posturite has been at the forefront of ergonomic product design, manufacture and distribution for the best part of 20 years. But rarely has it been as excited about a new product as it is by the forthcoming launch of the Penguin – the world’s first truly ambidextrous vertical mouse.
The company will unveil the Penguin at the 2010 Safety & Health Expo in Birmingham.

Laptop computers have become central to many people’s lives, but they can also pose health and safety problems, including carpal tunnel syndrome, repetitive strain injury, and musculoskeletal disorders.
Mylaptop has compiled a list of 10 accessories to help you get the best out of laptops, and at the same time, improve the ergonomics of using them.
Read on to find out the accessories that every laptop owner should have to ensure safe computer use.
Two Canadian entrepreneurs have launched the AirMouse, a glove-like device, which dispenses with the traditional computer mouse and may provide help for sufferers of repetitive strain injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome.
The AirMouse device straps to the user’s wrist, thumb, index finger and middle finger, while a sensor on the palm, between the thumb and index finger reads the hand’s movements. The left and right click buttons are located under the tips of the index and middle fingers.
To work, the hand must be touching a surface, like the top of a desk or a pant leg. The device is designed so users can type comfortably while wearing the glove.
