It tries to get your arm, elbow, and wrist to stay slightly turned

Using any sort of tool can cause strain on your joints after a while, and keyboards and mice are among the type that end up used for the most extended time periods. Spire decided to try and do something about that.

So when it made its newest mouse, it designed it in such a way that RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome don't show up unless you really go overboard with PC use.

Normally, when you hold the mouse, you hold your wrist pretty crookedly, and have to keep your arm flat on the desk or table.

Spire figured that it would help to slightly twist them, so it designed the Archer II mouse with an arched, vertical shape.

The buttons are placed in such a way that finger stress is reduced, and the larger palm rest enables a better arm position.

Many mice don't let your palm rest anywhere at all, being too small for your hand to grasp, so to speak. That's fine for mobile peripherals, but not great for extended use.

The Archer II boasts a USB 3.0/3.0 cable with a length of 1.5 meters (5 feet) and a 5D optical sensor. It should be available in China, but Europe will get it by the end of the month as well (April 2014). The price is of $41.95 / €29.95.
