RollerMouse

A better way to work

The traditional mouse forces you to use your arms, back, shoulders, neck, hands, and wrists to perform a simple task – moving the cursor on a computer screen. This is the root of many potential problems, from repetitive strain injuries such as Carpal Tunnel to Tendonitis or simply causing pain.

RollerMouse is an ergonomic alternative to the traditional mouse that sits directly in front of your keyboard. You move the cursor by touching the rollerbar lightly with your fingertips. RollerMouse eliminates harmful movements and helps form safer working habits.

Our approach is simple:

a. Eliminate unnecessary movements.
b. Make required movements as precise, comfortable, and effortless as possible.
c. Every movement is made from a central position.

Our products are designed for you, and the way you were meant to work.

The RollerMouse Difference

Why RollerMouse is a better way to work

Better movement

You can move the cursor using both hands. This helps avoid discomfort and prevent pain by varying your position.

In the zone

It is placed in the middle of the recommended work zone, eliminating long and repetitive reaching movements.

Less demanding

Does not require your back, neck, and shoulders to be involved in mouse work.

No grip

It is stationary and grip-less, reducing static and tense positions.

Supportive

Built-in wrist supports helps you avoid resting your weight on your wrists, reducing stress and strain.

The Effect

Less strain, more gain

Keep both hands in front of your body. This is the most relaxed position because you use the fewest muscles and tense up the least. You no longer have to reach, stretch, or twist to control the mouse.

A natural movement

Control the cursor and click lightly with your fingers. The traditional mouse forces the body to use large muscle groups (neck, shoulders, and arms) to carry out micro movements.

Less is more

Reduce the number of unnecessary movements. There’s no need to reach to the side all the time, everything you need to control your computer is placed in front of you.

Two hands are better than one

Avoid discomfort and pain by varying your working position. RollerMouse places cursor control in the rollerbar, giving you the freedom to use both hands.

Safe and quick

Double click with a single movement. This saves the body from making thousands of unnecessary and harmful micromovements each day.

Useful Tips

10 useful tips

Either at work or at home, we are spending more time in front of computers, and often develop habits that can cause stress, strain, and injury.

We’ve created 10 tips to help you become healthier, safer, and more productive at work.

  1. Listen to your body. Pay attention to the way you work, and how your body moves. People will have different ways of adjusting their body and behavior to avoid mouse injuries.
  2. Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every twenty minutes, take a twenty second break and stare at something twenty feet away from you. This allows your eyes to readjust and reduces strain.
  3. Get it straight. Make sure to vary your seating position. Try to sit high up on the chair, so you put more weight on the legs than on the lumbar region. This helps keep your back straight and posture heightened.
  4. Don’t use force. Your mouse and keyboard are more sensitive than believed. Using a light touch will get the desired reactions and will decrease the potential for stress injuries.
  5. Make room. Make sure you have enough room on and under the desk so you can assume different sitting positions. A messy desk is also a source of stress and irritation, which can exacerbate mouse injuries.
  6. Keep moving. Take opportunities to stretch and do small exercises at your desk in order to maintain your strength and improve your cardiovascular conditioning throughout the day.
  7. Take a break. Take a five-minute break every hour. This helps the body relax and forces you to change your working position. You need a cup of coffee anyway.
  8. Get comfortable. Make sure you rest your arms in front of you and your fingers on the keyboard and mouse. Joint strain is often linked to tension in the arms and hands.
  9. Placement is key. Keep your chair in front of your monitor. Your monitor should be arm’s length away from you. Your keyboard and mouse should be directly in front of you within comfortable reach, with the keyboard lying level to your elbow.
  10. Designed for you. There are many alternatives to the traditional mouse that may help you reduce strain and prevent injury. Choose the best one for your body.
