Computer industry has developed a lot lately and also the computer use in all the fields of activity, including business and entertainment- I am talking about computer games. So most of the people in towns and cities spend a big part of their time working or playing on computers. This caused some more or less serious health problems like RSI or repetitive strain injuries. That is why computer producers started to be concerned about providing the best ergonomic devices in order to avoid such injuries, but at the same time to make people still use those devices instead of avoiding them because of the health issues. That lead to a boom in producing ergonomic mice and keyboards, mouse pads and chairs and furniture.

Of course many companies claim they are the ones who produced the best ergonomic mouse ever, but there are many different models of very effective ergonomic mice.



One of them is considered to be 3M ergonomic computer mouse. The original feature offered by this mouse is the vertical position, similar to a hand shake position that allows your hand to rest in a neutral and natural way, thus helping all the muscles and tendons relax instead of being tense like in the normal position of the hand during the mousing activity, palm down. When you use a normal computer mouse , the bones in your forearm are twisted and this leads to tiredness and sorrow after a long period old using the mouse. But this is avoided when using the 3M ergonomic mouse, as the hand rests on the side, without any flexing of the muscles or twisting of the bones.

This mouse may look a lot like a joy stick, but it's still a mouse: you move the whole mouse together with its support during mousing, not just your hand with the stick. In fact the "joystick" like body is attached to the fixed support and does not move to the side. You can find this mouse both in corded and cordless model and also in two sizes: small and medium, for a bigger difference in hand size. Unfortunately there is no version available for the left handed people, so probably they will have to deal with whatever mouse they already have at home or office. The button on top of the handle or stick or whatever you want to call it has the function of both left and right click, depending on the position (it had two parts for each click). Then there's a bigger button, situated on the opposite side of the palm, that you can operate with the tips of your fingers. It reacts very fast, no need to press your fingers very hard.



Actually this is sometimes an inconvenient until you learn how to deal with this ergonomic mouse, as you can press this button by mistake. It has the function of a scroll - just keep it down and move the whole mouse around for navigating. I must warn you that people who are used to having a scroll wheel will really miss it if they purchase this 3M Rennaisance ergonomic computer mouse.

You can purchase it from any computer mouse online store for an average price of $50-65.
