New “Non-Painful” Computer Mouse

New things are being done to computer mice these days, and ergonomics is decidedly a factor. A recent article from Medical News Today spoke about the ErgoPointer mouse from Texas based company ErgoLogical. The ErgoPointer is a "hand held, ergonomic pistol grip shaped mouse." The unique design is meant to reduce the likelihood of repetitive strain injuries from mousing and clicking. You control it by moving your thumb around on the top.

The only thing that could be a pain is switching back and forth between keyboard and mouse; I'd think it would be a little more awkward if you had to pick up and set down the mouse every time. For graphics and games that doesn't rely on the keyboard, though, it would make a lot of sense.

Great Blog. I love the comments that you have made regarding the ErgoLogical Brand of products. I would like to mention that actually the unit will sit on your desk upright therefore allowing you to easily move from keyboard to mouse. We also have some more products to be release later this year that will also address the issue of switching back and forth.
This seems like a outstanding blog. keep up the good work. We need to make this a safer world and ergonomics is a step in the right direction.
