The ergonomic design of the NEW Goldtouch Ergonomic Mouse supports the hand in a naturally sloping angle that places the wrist in a neutral position. It uses a moderate 24 degree slope angle specified by ergonomists and health safety professionals to reduce wrist pronation; this helps alleviate Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
There is no need to adapt to a radically new mouse orientation to gain ergonomic benefits. Unlike mice and joysticks that require a completely vertical orientation of the hand, the Goldtouch Ergonomic mouse positions the hand and wrist in a naturally sloping angle. The user is immediately oriented to the shape and angle of the mouse, and is therefore, immediately productive.
DIMENSIONS:
- Length – 114 mm
- Width – 80 mm
- Height – 52 mm at the thumb, 30 mm at the small finger
- Weight – 145 grams
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS:
The Goldtouch Ergonomic Mouse supports Windows PC, MAC, various flavors
of LINUX and UNIX without requiring 3rd party drivers. 3 buttons
support left and right click with center wheel click to activate scroll
function on PC and middle click on LINUX/UNIX. 1 to 3 button support
for MAC as supported by the OS version.
- Windows XP, Vista, 7
- Mac OS X 10.4 and later
- Linux, UNIX
Design elements of the thumb-side
of the mouse are tailored to greatly reduce stress on the thumb joints
in response to increasing cases of RSI related to improper and overuse
of the thumb while texting and emailing from mobile phones, Blackberrys
and PDA’s.
- Concave and over-sized, users may find a comfortable position for mousing
- Forward placement for shorter fingers
- Rear placement for longer fingers
- Rubber inlay proves increase grip without increasing the pressure applied by the thumb
Design elements of the front of the mouse are tailored to support the natural curvature of the fingers in a relaxed state.
- The front of the mouse and the buttons slope downward and
slightly outward to follow the natural contours of the fingers while at
rest. The fingers rest naturally, minimizing the effort of extensor
muscles of the hand.
- Over-sized buttons provide the maximum surface area to evenly distribute the work-force required for clicking.
- The forward placement of the scroll wheel minimizes the effort, bending, and movement of the fingers.
Design elements of the top
of the mouse are tailored to support the hand, wrist, and forearm in a
natural position, minimizing pronation and supporting the hand in
natural, at-rest position.
- The patented, sloping design elevates the thumb and declines at a 24 degree angle toward the little finger.
- The angle of slope increases from the palm area of the mouse
toward the fingers, contouring to the natural shape of the hand and
fingers at rest, while providing even support throughout the palm.

Features
- The patented forward and lateral sloping angle design reduces
stress on pressure points in the wrist, and provides natural contours to
support the fingers.
- Increased height reduces the constant pressure on the wrist
(carpals) where the base of the wrist rests against the mousing
surfaces.
- Over-sized buttons allow for the fingers to activate (press)
without bending the fingers at the ineter-phalangeal joints – reduces
and alleviates arthritic discomfort.
- Scroll wheel on top of the mouse
- Mouse wheel is placed forward on the mouse to minimize bending
of the inter-phalangeal joints and provide more comfortable scrolling.
- Optical tracking system
- Rubberized, concave thumb area
- 1000 DPI optical resolution
- USB 2.0 – cable length 5’4”
- Over-sized thumb cushion helps maintain a comfortable grip for hands of every size.
- Available in Right & Left Hand versions
