Wired Ergonomic Mouse
Published by MouseArena, on March 12th, 2010, in the categories: Ergonomic mouse, Reviews, news
When people hear about wired ergonomic computer mice they immediately think about Evolute or another very famous and popular computer mouse that has ended up appearing in all computer magazines and on all web pages. That is exactly why I will talk about the Sky Vertical ergonomic mouse today. This one is indeed a wired ergonomic mouse and also a vertical mouse.
Sky vertical mouse is one of those ergonomic devices that uses the vertical position of the hand in order to offer it a more ergonomic support. In fact this mouse is not that radical and the hand has a combination between the vertical and the horizontal position during mousing. As you probably know many specialists consider that most of the repetitive strain injuries are caused by the horizontal position of the hand while using the computer mouse.
So apparently the "palm down" position leads to pressure in the wrist , affecting the blood vessels and the tendons there and also forces the bones in the forearm to stay twisted during the long hours of mousing, which can cause a lot of pain. That is why the vertical position of the hand is considered more appropriate and more ergonomic, as the hand bones are no longer twisted and the hand rests in a neutral and more comfortable position. It can even relax in between the mousing sessions. So this Sky vertical ergonomic mouse is one of these devices that applied this ergonomic theory into practice.
This wired ergonomic mouse seems to be the only one without a pre-established positioning of the thumb. It does not have any carving where you should place your thumb, but gives you the freedom to place it where it feels comfortable. There are , however, two specially designed scoops where your fingers are supposed to rest (I mean the index and the middle finger, as they are the ones operating the two mouse buttons). The mouse has the classical two buttons for left and right click and also the so necessary scroll wheel. It is simply designed and has few buttons because its purpose is not gaming, but ensuring the best comfort for the hand.
It is also a bit taller higher than other computer mice, as its purpose is to lift the wrist from the table or desk in order to avoid putting pressure on it. This mouse is also a bit bigger than most of the mice we got used to because it follows the size of te human hand, which is not that small and when the hand is bigger than the mouse , it usually rests the rist on the desk, which is not good.
But besides the ergonomic features, this Sky vertical ergonomic mouse has other qualities, too. It is a wired computer mouse, so it works as soon as you plug it into the USB or PS2 port of your computer. It will work immediately, as it does not need any software to be installed. It has 800 dpi resolution and is available only in black and silver design. The surface of the mouse has a very comfortable texture and the whole mouse design follows the contour of the hand, so it will need only a slight movement of the hand to be operated, in spite of its dimensions. It is actually pretty light, too. Like all ergonomic computer mice, it comes for a pretty high price of $99.

They result in wrist strain and strangulation of the blood vessels and also sore tendons. Well, apart from using an ergonomic mouse and mouse pad, you can also do something to ease the pain and relax the muscles and tendons that really hurt.

Published by MouseArena, on March 11th, 2010, in the categories: Useful tutorials
Even though it seems hard to believe, there are lots of people who never used a computer and a computer mouse and start doing that every day for the first time in their lives. Of course if I ask you now it will seem very easy to you, now that you are an experienced computer user for so many years. But if you could turn back the time, try to remember the first time you put your hand on a computer mouse.
You are incredibly clumsy and don't know what to do and you are afraid to even do something for fear not to damage or break anything. If you were lucky enough to have somebody initiate you in this field, then it was easier for you, but unfortunately not everybody is that lucky. That is why it is a good idea to be able to find some tutorials for computer mouse on the internet so that you can be guided and shown exactly what to do , step by step, when you are using the computer mouse for the first time.
You can find this kind of tutorials for computer mouse, but to find them already means that you can use a computer mouse, so you's better get them for your grandma or friend who is a newby , open the document for them and tell them just to press "enter" once they have read all the instructions on a page. Here are some useful links, all of them presenting step by step tutorials about how to use the mouse for the first time: tutorial no.1, tutorial no.2, tutorial no.3, tutorial no.4. Or maybe it would be a good idea for you to print one of these tutorials, so that the beginner can use them without having to make all kinds of maneuvers on the computer, using only the keyboard.
But let's start with the basics . First of all, make you your computer mouse is connected to your computer, that is plugged into the USB or PS/2 port available. Then make sure the computer is started and running. Place your hand like shown in picture no. 1 , with your index and middle finger on the two buttons of the mouse and the palm resting comfortably on the mouse's body.
Now move the mousearound on the mouse pad. You will see a little arrow appear on the computer screen: that's the cursor. It will move in parallel with your moves, as it reflects the exact movements of the mouse and this way you can place it anywhere you want on the screen or inside a document you want to edit.
Then press the left button of the mouse once - there's the left click. It places the cursor in thexact place you want it to be. Pres the same button twice, without a pause between the clicks - that's the double click and it is used to open documents. If you can't do this when you first try it, just click the document in the folder once and then press:"enter".
Now let's do the same with the right button of the mouse. When you click it, it will open a list with possible commands to choose from - this is the select button. Just browse the list and choose the command you want to give at the moment.
One more step of the tutorial for computer mouse and we're done: open a document or a web page, place the cursor in like I told you and then gently use the index to rotate the scroll wheel between the two mouse buttons. You will see that this way you navigate faster through the document pages. These are the basic functions of a computer mouse. But the best way of learning how to use one is to practice, so you'd better start doing it.

Logitech V100 Mouse
Published by MouseArena, on March 11th, 2010, in the categories: Logitech
Logitech V100 mouse is one of the most popular computer mice released by Logitech because it offers a very good optical technology and also a very good affordable price that anyone can pay. You can buy it for about $7-20, depending on the online store or the offer. This mouse is really compact and comfortable, offering a good grip and being able to be used with either hands.
It is meant to be used for your notebook computer, so it is a bit smaller than regular mice, though not very small - just the right size to fit your hand and still feel fine after many hours of using it. It is very simple and yet very well designed, with black rubber grip and the traditional grey colour in between them. This mouse can be connected to your netbook's USB port and has a long enough cord to give you a little freedom of moving around, which lacks other computer mice. It is easily transportable and you can store it anywhere during travelling, as it is pretty solid and can't be damaged very easily.
There are only three buttons, the two obvious ones used for right and left clicking and the scroll wheel that moves back and forth, but also tilts to the sides when you need to navigate horizontally through very large web pages or spreadsheets. It is also used for zooming in and out when watching photo files. I think this is a kind of icon mouse for Logitech, the kind of computer mouse that has become the illustration of a famous corporation.
Logitech V100 mouse uses optical technology for a better and more accurate tracking and it does not need any additional software , but just works as soon as you get it out of the box and plug it into its USB port. It is very light and has a very nice contour shape, following the shape of your hand. The scroll wheel is covered with rubber, too, to make scrolling easier and at the same time, not to allow it to slip when you don't intend it.
So no mistakes are allowed with this comfortable and easy to use mouse.It is fast and precise, working in any conditions, with or without a mouse pad on various surfaces. It can be used for all purposes, both for simple operations, but also for surfing long internet pages or playing computer games . You will find it equally easy to use in all cases and you will also find it reassuring and solid when you use it with a normal PC or with your nice and stylish portable notebook.
In conclusion I would like to say that, even if it may look extremely boring and average, it is the computer mouse that is preferred by lots of people who appreciate the quality offered for a very good price. So never mind the fact that it is simple: simple is good and if you are only a beginner too complicated devices can make you be uncertain and panic.

Tuscan Mouse Pads
Published by MouseArena, on March 10th, 2010, in the categories: Design, Mouse Pad
A mousepad, sometimes spelled mouse pad, is a surface for enhancing the usability of a computer mouse. That is the definition of a mouse pad. Some people are very pragmatic and think that's exactly what it is and treat it like that : an useful object. But the others are more sensitive to the things around them and pay attention to details or simply have a bigger aesthetic sense and like to be surrounded by beautiful objects.
It really does not matter to them if an object is only an ordinary mouse pad or a masterpiece painting - they want all to look beautiful and be a nice piece in the puzzle that makes up a charming environment. You recognize these houses where every little thing is important for the harmony of the whole room and where a simple tea cup shows so much beauty that it takes your breath away.
This was only an introduction to Tuscan mouse pads, that was meant to introduce you in the atmosphere depicted by these wonderful and sensitive mouse pads printed with breathtaking paintings and photos taken in the beautiful and sunny and colourful scenery of Tuscony, a region in Italy. Italy is surrounded by the sea, so there is a lot of vegetation and the landscape is like painted or coming down from fairy tales. Everything is so green and vividly coloured that you feel alive just looking at the pictures.
Even though these Tuscan mouse pads are nothing more than simple computer mouse supports, they look like real paintings and are really impressive by the quality of the image and the wonderful colours.
The first picture is a real photo of a Tuscan rose in a Tuscan garden. I admit it's wonderful. I don't know if the person who took the photo works for www.zazzle.com, the online mouse pad store with hundreds of models to offer or if it's just a user who uploaded a photo because she wanted a customized mouse pad, but I do know the result, which is amazing. It's not only a mouse pad with a rose on, it's a colourful and lively piece of life on your desk. The second picture shows a painting of a Tuscan landscape with a house in the middle of the fields. Simple and nice.
Both Tuscan mouse pads are made of a very resistant material that can resist dust and stain and that is very easy to wash even when it gets dirty. They are covered with a durable cloth that offers a very good texture for mousing . But at the same time the back of the mouse pads are made of non- slip rubber that prevents them from slipping on the surface of your desk during the mousing activity , even during the most intense gaming session.
The size of 9.25" x 7.75" is perfect both for your work office and home desk and there's no such thing as a minimum order. You can even personalize and customize your mouse pads if you can't find any model to satisfy you in the whole Tuscan mouse pads series. You just upload a photo of Tuscan scenery on the web site and order your own mouse pad for $13.15.
