Reduce wrist stress using a more natural mouse position

The Renaissance mouse keeps your hand in a more natural "handshake" position as you mouse. You rest the back of your hand at the base of the mouse and the thumb on the switch.

The new design encourages natural, vertical hand positioning in a thumb elevated position.

Benefits: Unlike the traditional palm-down posture of most input devices, the "handshake" design of the Renaissance Mouse reduces muscle strain and discomfort associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injury. Office Organix use finds the unit ideal for standard software activity like word processing, data entry, spreadsheets and so forth. It is less effective if your work requires small, circular mouse patterns, for example air brushing in Photoshop.

Expect a learning curve of a few days to get used to the mouse. The first day mouse activity will be different from what you are used to. By the third day most users have adjusted. 

There is also a two-year limited warranty.

How to use the Renaissance mouse.

1. Find a natural resting position for your hand on the base of the mouse and rest your thumb on the mouse button (your thumb should be straight when you click on the mouse).

2. Support your forearm while mousing. Rest the side of your hand on the base of the mouse. This position reduces the strain on muscles and ligaments in the upper arm and forearm when working.

3. Adjust the speed of the mouse (using the mouse setup utility in Windows) so that you can move the cursor around the screen without lifting your forearm or elbow.

4. Keep your wrist in a handshake position, forming a straight line with your forearm and wrap the palm of your hand around the stick. This reduces pressure in the Carpal tunnel and reduces the risk of injuries.

5. Move your arm (not wrist) to use your mouse. This results in less strain on the ligaments/muscle of the upper arm, neck and shoulders.
