The Hippus HandShoe Mouse is a truly ergonomic mouse that fits like a glove. The standard computer mouse - most of the time it too small for the hand. Its shape forces your hand and fingers in an unnatural gripping position. It lacks comfort. The HandShoe Mouse was developed with these complaints in mind. Support of your hand and fingers prevents gripping and pinching and your arm is supported at the ideal angle of 25-30 degrees which makes sure your forearm is completely relaxed.
To better understand why the HandShoe Mouse is the latest technology in the evolution of the computer mouse, following is a list of why the HandShoe Mouse is different:
- Design is based on proper medical university research and extensive field testing
- Your hand, thumb and fingers are supported in the best, relaxed position
- Instead of over-using your hand and wrist, your arm will most of the time let the optical HandShoe Mouse float without any effort. The shape allows for the hand to continuously rest on the mouse body in a relaxed fashion, so there is no skin contact between your hand and the desk.
- As a result there is no skin irritation as caused by excessive rubbing when moving a conventional mouse. Contrary to conventional computer mice you don't have to continuously lift (hover) the fingers, to prevent accidental switching.
- The buttons of this ergonomic mouse are positioned in line with the fingers. Only minor pressure is required to click the buttons. The thumb rest of the HandShoe Mouse allows for a relaxed position and prevents excessive thumb action which can be harmful.
- The HandShoe Mouse is available in three standard sizes (Small, Medium and Large)which are available in a wireless and a wired version. So size matters and there is a HandShoe.
- The HandShoe Mouse is developed, based on proper university research and measurements and not on beliefs of individuals.
