There's a new kind of mouse in town! The ErgoMotion Mouse from SmartFish Technologies is the first laser mouse ever to feature a patented swivel mechanism that allows the mouse to adapt to the user's hand position. ErgoMotion technology enables forward, backward and lateral wave-like movements for the wrist every time the mouse is in use. This helps to relieve discomfort from repetitive stress injuries for those of us who use the computer for extended lengths of time.

The ErgoMotion Mouse features both left and right click, four-way scroll wheel and a wireless USB plug-in. It is compatible with both Macs and PCs, and has an ambidextrous design for both right and left-handed users. It’s is available now from www.getsmartfish.com for $49.95.

"The ErgoMotion Mouse adapts to your natural movements and provides the most unique and healthy computing experience to date."
