14 DAY TRIAL // Although our modern way of living has brought about plenty of improvements as far as people's health is concerned, it's also posing some new challenges, one of the most widespread and serious being the issue of RSI (repetitive strain injury).
Those of you who're not really familiar with RSI should know that we're talking about here is a type of condition that might affect people engaged in seriously repetitive activities throughout the day, as, for example, those working on a computer in a daily basis.
And this is specifically the category of users targeted by the device you'll read about as follows, namely the Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse, presented by Posturite, whose name is directly inspired by its rather unusual shape, designed to deliver enhanced ergonomics while in use.
The Penguin mouse is different from other peripherals due to the fact that it actually enables both the right and left hands to share the workload, thus preventing exaggerated movements of the wrist joint that can increase pressure on the soft tissues in the carpel tunnel (the cause of the dreaded Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS).
Furthermore, this thing packs a central ‘bow-tie’ switch enabling the easy and fast change between right and left hand use, while its vertical alignment will also help deliver a lower level of stress on one's hand.
Additional features worth mentioning include the easy-glide symmetrical base, as well as the adjustable 800, 1200 or 1600 dpi resolution settings, the high-precision scroll wheel, plus the fact that this peripheral is available in both wired and wireless versions, in order to suit most users' needs.
Pricing for the Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse has been set at around 54 pounds sterling (88 US dollars), which is actually a fairly OK sum, especially taking into account the overall features this thing has in store.
