Glider Mouse saves your wrists, not your wallet

glidermouse.jpg

You know that feeling of trying to hold something like a fork or a pencil and suddenly getting stricken with a horrible, sharp pain in your wrists? That's because you keep your hand tensed up on a mouse all day, desk jockey, and your body doesn't like it. Maybe it's time to upgrade to an ergonomic pointing device and give your wrists a rest from all that mousing you've been doing. Hela's Glider Mouse doesn't look like any mouse we've ever seen, as it sits in front of your keyboard so your hands rest in a more comfortable position while you're working. You just glide that little nub around to control the pointer using either your left or right hand and push any of the 12 configurable buttons around it to click and whatnot. It seems all well and good and after a bit of an adjustment could make your workday more comfortable, that is if you don't mind dropping $285 on a fancy mouse. Which I do. I guess it's wrist pain for me!
