HEALTHY MOUSING
Based entirely on the latest human factors research, the Switch Mouse is specifically designed to minimize
the health risks associated with long-term mousing, including tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Rich
in ergonomic features, the innovative Switch Mouse ensures you’ll mouse in comfort.
Problem:
Wrist Anchoring
Computer users often anchor the crease of their
wrists to the work surface while mousing, a
position linked to two injury risk factors—contact
stress and wrist extension (the bending of the wrist
toward the body)—which increase intracarpal tunnel
pressure and the risk of injury.
Solution:
Switch Mouse Palm Support
The Switch Mouse integrated palm support pre-
vents wrist anchoring. Mousing with a supported
palm also encourages the use of large arm and
shoulder muscles, which are much less likely to
fatigue than delicate wrist and hand muscles.
