The Mouse You Operate With Your...Feet

The mouse is the most popular peripheral ever, and that's the reason why the number of manufacturers and models existing on the market is huge, but only a few of them can be considered real gadgets. However, the NoHands Mouse can really be included in this category,
because the users operate it with their...feet.

The device has been created for reducing the level of stress in the wrist generated by the longterm use of the mouse, and consists of two pedals positioned on the floor, out of which one is used for moving the pointer and the second one for clicking. NoHands Mouse has a heavy duty, injection molded plastic shell, which grants it a very long functioning life, and can be used together with an ordinary mouse.

The pedals of this very unusual mouse have a length of 25.4 cm, a height of 3.81 cm and a width of 10.16 cm, so they can be used by just about anyone. Unfortunately, the time required for learning how to operate this device is quite long, and its price, of 316 dollars, is quite discouraging for normal users, despite the fact that its advantages, at least from a medical point of view, are quite important.

We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there.
