Humanscale Makes the Switch to an Ergonomic Mouse

Using a mouse and keyboard for hours on end each day can have some bad effects on the wrist and fingers for some people. Repetitive stress injuries can cause a lot of pain and once you get an injury, it takes some specialized gear to help make things less painful. You can get ergonomic mice like the Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 from Microsoft, but for some users that may not be enough.

Humanscale has announced an adjustable ergonomic mouse called the Switch that can be used for right or left handed people. Many ergonomic mice are for right-handed users only. The Switch has a 45-degree angle to help minimize wrist pronation and a navigation dish helps prevent injury from constant scrolling. Also featured is palm rest and size adjustability. Sensitivity isn't mentioned, but 800 dpi should be expected. Pricing is unknown at this time.
