Switch Mouse

Switch Mouse

Description:
The Switch Mouse is designed for maximum user comfort. The peripheral device, including a V-shaped based and four-way scrolling dish, reduces injury risks among computer users. Plus, it is the only mousing solution that accommodates both left and right handed users while being adjustable in size. The tilted angle of the Switch Mouse, created by the V-shaped bottom of the device, positions the wrist and forearm at a 45-degree angle – a natural pronation known to minimize pressure in the carpal tunnel. The Switch Mouse’s circular five-button navigation dish minimizes tendon movement and, as an added benefit, allows for horizontal scrolling. The Switch Mouse is length adjustable to fit hands of nearly any size. Its symmetric shape equally accommodates right or left-handed use of the device.
