Goldtouch FlexMouse from Key Ovation

The FlexMouse supports the hand at an angle of 24°, reducing pronation. This position rotates the forearm outward, lowering the strain and stress on the muscles and joints of the arm, wrist and hand below that of the traditional "palm down" position. Because the "back" of the mouse is interchangeable each person can select the one that provides the most appropriate support for the length of their palm.

The FlexMouse has a smooth finish that discourages the tendency to grip the mouse, further encouraging relaxation of the hand and forearm. In addition, the absence of a thumbwell and the almost vertical sides eliminate points where the thumb and pinkie finger might attempt to gain purchase, further reducing the risk of trying to control the mouse using solely the fingers. The result is that the FlexMouse feels most comfortable when being moved primarily by the entire hand and forearm. The Goldtouch FlexMouse is only available for right handed users; in both wired and Bluetooth models.

Cleankeys CK5 Wired Keyboard from GETT

The Cleankeys CK5 Wired Keyboard from GETT is a wipeable, waterproof wired all-in-one keyboard designed for environments in which hygienic conditions are a necessity, such as medical and dental operatories. The surface of this touch-sensitive (i.e. zero force) keyboard is completely flat Gorilla Glass that is easily cleaned using hospital-grade disinfectants. Keystrokes are activated by lightly touching the legended key areas on the surface as there are no moving mechanical parts in the keyboard. The keys have adjustable sensitivity and volume to provide some confirmation of input in the absence of tactile or haptic feedback and can even be activated while wearing standard thickness silicone or latex gloves. The all-in-one design incorporates an innovative dual-use numeric keypad (10-key) that doubles as a large oversized touchpad. As a result the entire space required for both data entry and mouse input is just 16", making the CK5 Cleankeys ideal for use where operatory or examining room space is at a premium. The cursor arrow keys are still available; they have been relocated under the Enter and Right Shift key area. The integrated KEY LOCK function protects from accidental input by locking out key input during cleaning. When mounting is required the keyboard has 2 threaded inserts to make it compatible with a VESA 200 mounting pattern using M4 screws (not provided).

LEVO G2 Deluxe Floor Stand for iPads, Tablets and eReaders by Levo

Laptop users are now able to enjoy the same convenience that readers and tablet users have been experiencing for years. The LEVO Rolling Laptop Workstation Stand further expands the LEVO family of products by adding a laptop solution alongside the existing Tablet and Book holders. Not only that, the Rolling Laptop Workstation also has accessories available that easily convert it for use with either tablets or traditional books and magazines. With the LEVO Rolling Laptop Workstation it is now possible to relax in the comfort of your favourite chair or even on the bed, while at the same time positioning your laptop for improved ergonomics and comfort. And, once your work is done for the day, you can use the optional accessories to switch to your tablet for some family facetime or to escape into your favourite novel.

The LEVO Rolling Laptop Workstation stand features a heavy 20 pound base that ensures stability for laptops up to 17". Easy rolling casters let the stand be easily positioned to optimize both comfort and ergonomics or for movement between locations or rooms. The telescoping design features easily operated cam locks for platform height adjustment to any point between 22" and 40". At 40" it even provides sufficient elevation to be used as a temporary standing workstation for users up to about 5'6". The 12.75" hourglass-shaped base rises just 3.75" from the floor, permitting it to roll below a majority of beds and furniture, bringing it as close to the user as possible. Where there is insufficient clearance to roll beneath a chair the hourglass shape lets it tuck in around a corner. The lateral arm extends the centre of the laptop platform 14" from the upright, sufficient to centre the keyboard in front of the user in most applications.

The laptop platform itself, at 16.5" x 11.25", is large enough to accommodate up to 17" laptops and, with the optional book adapter kit, even fairly large books. And tablets are just as easily accommodated with the interchangeable Tablet Cradle Accessory.

The LEVO Rolling Laptop Workstation Stand is a highly versatile solution that offers a great way to improve laptop ergonomics in the home environment, especially where space is limited and setting up a dedicated workstation is not an option. With its simple clean lines it can blend into most environments, becoming part of the decor. And with the optional accessories it can easily be as useful for relaxation and entertainment as is for work.

Evoluent VerticalMouse D from Evoluent

The Evoluent VerticalMouse D showcases over 20 years of continuous improvement in ergonomic Vertical mouse design. The VerticalMouse D is the sixth generation of the Evoluent VerticalMouse and reflects a rich history of ergonomic innovation. The VerticalMouse D retains all of the benefits associated with earlier Evoluent VerticalMouse models while including design changes that offer both improved control as well as comfort when compared with earlier generations.

The most noticeable design improvement on the Evoluent VerticalMouse D is the new patented vertically grooved buttons. This new "first of its kind" innovation provides a natural resting place for the fingertips that is not only more comfortable but also effectively makes the mouse an "extension" of the hand. With the fingertips lightly resting in the grooved buttons the mouse is naturally held in position, virtually eliminating any need or desire to "grip" the mouse. The end result is not only an enhanced degree of cursor precision but a more relaxed hand and forearm.

Those who have used earlier versions of the Evoluent VerticalMouse will also discover subtle changes in the body contours that encourage the hand to more naturally "curve" around the mouse as well as a slightly wider lower finger flange to better prevent surface contact.

The pointer speed control on the VerticalMouse D is still placed just behind the buttons but is more easily accessed than on earlier models of the Evoluent VerticalMouse. The fingers are able to easily identify and activate the gently-curved raised button without any risk of accidentally clicking. The four speeds (Extra Low, Low, Medium, & High) activate sequentially with each click of the speed control so users can quickly adapt the mouse to the need of the moment. The illuminated setting indicator is located at the front of the thumb rest.

The MouseManager Software from Evoluent lets users customize their mouse to meet their requirements. Any of the 6 buttons can be assigned custom commands. The driver also includes additional enhancements such as instant access to screen brightness adjustment via the scroll wheel.

The VerticalMouse D is currently only available as a Right Hand Model. There are currently Small and Medium models available in both Wired or Wireless, with a Large size arriving in early 2020.

Selecting a mouse that best matches hand size is important when addressing ergonomic issues. This Sizing Guide can be used to determine whether a Small, Medium or Large size Evoluent VerticalMouse D is the appropriate size.
