Hoverstop halts carpal tunnel

With the ever growing awareness by employers and employees of on the job injuries caused by bad practices in ergonomics, most people invest time and money into chairs for their backs and keyboard for their wrists. One device which is over looked quite a bit is the mouse. Yes, there are ergonomically made mice out there, but one thing that people failed to realize is that is only half the battle. Resting your hand on the mouse may seem OK, but it actually keeps the muscles tense in your arm. To truly avoid injury it is best to completely remove your hand from the mouse so your muscles are truly at rest. This is where Hoverstop mouse comes in.

The Hoverstop mouse will notify you that you have left your hand on the mouse for an extended period of time. Yes, the mouse actually knows when you are not actively using the mouse! Known as mouse passive, when you stop using the mouse and still have your hand on it for over a few seconds, the mouse will vibrate to let you know to rest your hand.

I had the opportunity to use the Hoverstop mouse in my normal work environment and it has really made me aware of my bad habits as I interact with my mouse. The Hoverstop mouse has all the features you expect from a USB mouse (scroll wheel, 3 buttons, optical sensor, Mac and PC compatible) and it comes with a free mouse pad. It has helped in making me so aware that I even find myself removing my hand before the vibration happens. The ergonomic conscious should definitely look into the Hoverstop mouse and give your mouse a break!
