Posturite Penguin Wired Ambidextrous Ergonomic Mouse - Vertical High Precision Computer and Laptop Accessory - Compatible with Windows and Apple Mac - Medium Black/Silver

Product Information

First off, just a head's up, this quite lengthy review becomes partly a rant later on, but it's completely justifiable 👍😜 The Penguin was put to the test during trials carried out by VSI Risk Management and Ergonomics Inc., and the University of Brighton in the UK. Two thumb buttons - a new bottom thumb button provides greatly extended functionality when used with the included driver.

Wonderful design, plagued by many stupid little faults, which really shouldn't be present with a mouse around this price point. Rant / review over 😅 A: The Penguin ® has a low power level indicator. The ‘P’ light will turn ice blue and begin flashing when the Penguin ® has low battery (approximately 20% charge remaining). Repetitive strain syndrome - pain, tenderness, stiffness, tingling, numbness, or cramp caused by repetitive movement. Green cats desk mat, Large Mousepad cute, Extended Deskmat xl, Aesthetic nature landscape, giant led mouse pad, ergonomic keyboard matt xlSTURDY & MODERN DESIGN: the AMBIDEXTROUS DESIGN: allows for easy transition between right and left-handed use, avoiding exaggerated movements of the wrist joint, which can increase pressure on the soft tissues in the carpal tunnel. When using a PC, regular switching of hands throughout the day helps prevent static muscle strain (SMS) in the arm and shoulder - a major source of discomfort in mouse The mouse is probably on a reflective surface. Put it on a completely non-reflective surface, such as a cotton mouse pad. Q: What should I do if the pointer seems sluggish or moves randomly in response to mouse movement? Small, medium or large – left or right handed – corded or cordless – the Penguin Ambidextrous Mouse has a size and style to suit everyone. The Penguin ® has a charging light sequence. When the charging cable is connected, a series of coloured lights in the illuminated ‘P’ logo will indicate different battery levels.

Aaras et al 2001, Gustafsson and Hagberg 2003, Chang et al 2007, Houwink et al 2009 and Odell and Johnson 2007). Common health conditions include: Bottom-of-hand rest. The wide lip at the bottom of the mouse allows you to rest your hand without rubbing it against the desk. For many people, an issue with vertical mice is that the edge of their hand and pinky end up rubbing against the desk. I didn't have much of a problem with that, but I did tend to keep my hand up, even when at rest. The Penguin's design allows my hand to be more relaxed. A: The default setting is 400 DPI. To adjust, press and release the DPI button (E) on the base of the Penguin ®. The illuminated ‘P’ logo will flash to indicate the DPI has been changed.The Penguin sets new standards of protection against a range of upper limb conditions such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by enabling right and left hands to share the workload and avoiding exaggerated movements of the wrist joint that can increase pressure on the soft tissues in the carpal tunnel. Regular switching of hands throughout the day helps prevent static muscle strain (SMS) in the arm and shoulder - a major source of discomfort in mouse work. If the cursor does not move, then retry step 3 and plug the Penguin ® USB cable into a different USB port on your computer SEE UPDATES BELOW: I still find this to be the best ergonomic mouse I've used or seen, but the lifespan for me has been a couple months shy of two years...not very long for an expensive mouse, but there are not many good options for RSI sufferers and I'll probably by this again. If I do buy another, however, I'll get the wired version. The wireless version frequently loses its connection to computer, which an annoying disruption to getting work done.] The DPI Button is underneath the mouse. If you didn't know already, the DPI simply adjusts the movement speed of the cursor on the screen. If you wanted more control over a mouse, there's a good, small and free program called 'X Mouse Button Control'. A bit more on that later too.

A reflective surface may cause pointer drift. Put the VerticalMouse on a non-reflective mouse pad, such as a fabric pad. Q: How do I disable a button? It sets new standards of protection against a range of upper limb conditions such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) by enabling right and left hands to share the workload and avoiding exaggerated movements of the wrist joint that can increase pressure on the soft tissues in the carpal tunnel. Regular switching of hands throughout the day helps prevent static muscle strain (SMS) in the arm and shoulder - a major source of discomfort in mouse work. The sensitivity and 'dead zone' for initial movement is WAY off. I'll try to explain, you know when you stop moving the mouse, then you start to move it really slowly again, exactly like the movements necessary to aim down sight or a scope to shoot in games? It's just awful. It's like it doesn't register minute movements. No matter what setting you set the DPI to, nothing improved it. I even tried a free program called X Mouse Button Control to adjust it, but to no avail. To choose the correct one for you, measure your hand from the first crease on your wrist to the tip of your middle finger. SMALLADVANCED ERGONOMIC DESIGN: the Penguin Wired Mouse features a vertical design that sets new standards of protection against a range of upper limb conditions caused by extensive computer/laptop use, such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) The idea behind the Penguin mice is to enable users to use both their right and left hands to share the workload and minimise overuse of one hand. The Penguin mouse is also perfect for hot-desking by enabling both left and right handed users to share the same desk and utilise the ergonomic benefits of the mouse. Mice that encourage the wrist to remain in a neutral position have been found to reduce self-reported hand and wrist pain and decrease muscle activity in the extensors of the forearm. Plug the other end of the charging cable firmly into your Penguin ® mouse – orange light should show on ‘P’ logo The duration, terms and conditions of this warranty are valid worldwide, except where different limitations, restrictions or conditions may be required by local law.

Plug the other end of the charging cable firmly into your Penguin mouse – orange light should show on ‘P’ logo The Fellowes Penguin® is available in small, medium and large. This ensures that the hand and grip is in the most natural, ergonomic position. Comfortable and easy to use. The shape is thoughtfully sculpted for uncompromised comfort and easy-to-reach programmable buttons. No finger contortions are needed to operate the buttons. Specifically designed to reduce health problems associated with computer users spending too much time using a conventional mouse. The unique “handle grip” protects against a range of upper limb conditions such as RSI and Carpal Tunnel by putting the working arm in a natural position and not allowing the bones in the forearm to cross over. Reboot your computer make sure your computer is up to date with the latest drivers / operating software for pointing devicesThe Penguin Mouse is also antimicrobial to inhibit the growth of bacteria making it perfect for any hot desk situation If the cursor does not move, plug the Penguin ® USB cable into a different USB port on your computer On the other hand, you get two ergonomic mice for the price of one, which is fantastic to have if you can operate a mouse with both hands. This is the best feature of the Penguin mouse, along with the fact that it forces you to use your arm muscles for movement. For that, lower DPI settings are better for precision work.
