Kinesis DXT 2 USB ergonomic mouse

The new DXT 2 vertical mouse is a compact ergonomic device, carefully expertly designed by a team of leading UK physiotherapists and ergonomists. The DXT 2 promotes a neutral (more upright) wrist posture, allowing the hand to work with a light touch, providing precise cursor control. The DXT2’s ambidextrous shape allows for use with either the right or left hand. Choose from the standard USB model or the new RF Wireless model, with extended battery life and fast charging. Problems with conventional flat mice Conventional flat mice put unnecessary strain on the hands, arms and fingers. Forearm pronation: A flat mouse forces the user to turn their palm down and parallel to the work surface, resulting in forearm pronation. This position can lead to serious pain and injury. Static Grip Force: Flat mice require a “static grip force,” involving strong flexor and extensor muscles in the forearm. This static force can lead to pain and repetitive strain injury. Wrist Extension: Many flat mice force the wrist to make contact with the work surface, causing it to bend upward. This can lead to static muscle tension and carpal tunnel syndrome. Shoulder/Neck Isolation: Flat mice force cursor movement and control up to the shoulder, causing shoulder and neck strain. DXT2 Ergonomic Solution Forearm Pronation: The DXT’s semi-vertical design allows the mouse to be held in a more natural and “functionally neutral” position, with the hand resting slightly to the side at a 50˚ to 70˚ angle. Static Grip Strength: The DXT Mouse discourages static gripping or “grabbing,” utilizing the small, power-producing muscles of the hand for precision through fluid, dynamic movement. Wrist Extension: The DXT’s semi-vertical design eliminates all contact with the wrist surface, allowing for a more natural and intuitive posture for relaxed, precise control. Shoulder/Neck Isolation: The smaller DXT Mouse distributes the load of mouse movement across the entire arm and hand, reducing stress on the shoulder and neck, allowing the hand, elbow, and shoulder to work in synergy.
