After talking about the Penguin anti-RSI mouse a short while ago, it's now time to take a look at yet another product touted as being capable of delivering an improved level of ergonomics during use, namely the DXT Precision Mouse.

Similar to some of the other devices of this type we've come across over time, the peripheral has been designed in such a way as to allow users to handle it in a fairly relaxed position, thus reducing the level of stress applied to the soft tissues of one's hand (especially the carpal area).

So, by adopting a vertical handling position, rather than a horizontal one, the DXT Precision Mouse manages to put in motion just the right muscle groups in order to deliver the best possible results, both from the point of view of the work effectiveness and level of fatigue experienced by the user.

In fact, what really makes this thing so interesting is the fact that it can actually be manipulated by the fingers and thumb, enabling the thumb and index finger to work together, leveraging the sensory surface of the tips of the fingers and thumb.

Furthermore, the device also has an ambidextrous design, which means that changing between right and left hand usage is done in a very fast and easy manner, by simply pressing a button.

Additional features worth mentioning include the fact that this peripheral also allows users to choose one of the three available 3 DPI settings, namely 400, 800 & 1600 counts per inch, depending on the task at hand.

The DXT Precision Mouse sells for around 80 pounds sterling (130 US dollars) at various online retailers, which makes it a fairly affordable solution for all those computer users out there looking for a solution that will help them fight back the effects of RSI or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
