Zero
Grip Mousing Systemby Grandee for PC (PS/2-Serial)
Model # - M-GRD-100
More Information
PROTOTYPE OF NEW PRODUCT - The Zero Grip Mousing System is the only mouse that allows you to use your palm to generate the clicking action in addition to your fingers. Its patented design has two distinct contoured units, the right providing cursor movement (and optional finger click action), the left a palm-activated click action. The need to grip either unit firmly is eliminated by allowing the palm-based clicking action, allowing a more comfortable posture when performing mousing actions. We are currently only accepting back orders on this item.
The
problem has been solved with the ZeroGrip++ ™.
No finger
movements are needed –
only the relaxed palms of both hands.
- (1)– make pointer's positioning by the palm of your right hand on the right part of the ZeroGrip++. The right hand is completely relaxed and does not grip anything!
- (2) - Make “click” (or “double-click”) gently pressing with the palm of the left hand on the left part of the ZeroGrip++ . The left hand is completely relaxed and does not grip anything!
Making "clicks" with the right hand is eliminated by the ZeroGrip++. However, if through habit you happen to click with your fingers on the right part, it will also work as an ordinary mouse.
Is it
convenient?
Extremely!
Traditionally instruments, machines, utensils or activities
required the use of both hands:
- to play the
piano or other musical instruments
- handwriting
(one hand holds down the paper while the other hand writes)
etc.
Did you ever
see a concert pianist play with one hand or with the index finger only?
But we have
been working for years with the PC mouse using only the right hand, clicking
with the fingers. Until now!
With the
ZeroGrip++ we use both hands in a completely relaxed manner –
the right hand (palm only) is used to position the pointer on
the screen and the left hand (palm only) to click.
Remember,
we tend to grab the common mouse (of any size or shape) as we need to hold
the mouse to press the buttons with the fingers.
I have to give up now due to changing employers. I had mixed success
but liked it overall, but it was a bit pricey ($240) and I'm wondering
what else is out there.
I checked the Sorehand archives and based on discussion there I am
thinking of trying the Natural Point hands' free mouse system
(http://www.naturalpoint.com/), which lets you control the mouse with
your head. It lets you put a small device on your head or glasses to
move the mouse. However, the pedals they offer seem very limited, so
I'd like to use Kinesis pedals (http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/).
Thoughts?
SmartNav) to place the reflective dot on your index finger part of the time,
so that you don't tire your neck.
The Dwell-to-Click unit costs the most ($299.99) but may be worth it, to
save having to click with your hand or with a foot switch. This is called
the trackIR AT package (or SmartNAV AT).
We've sold a lot of No Hands Mouse units over the years, but many were
returned because using it made your leg sore.
