Ergonomic Design
Goldtouch designed this mouse with one thing in mind, putting
comfort and control at your fingertips.
There is no need to adapt to a radically new mouse orientation to
gain ergonomic benefits. Unlike mice and joysticks that require a
completely vertical orientation of the hand, the Goldtouch
Ergonomic mouse positions the hand and wrist in a naturally
sloping angle.
• The patented, sloping design elevates the thumb and
declines at a 24 degree angle toward the little finger.
• Design elements of the Top of the mouse are tailored to
support the hand, wrist, and forearm in a natural position,
minimizing pronation and supporting the hand in natural, at
rest position.
• Design elements of the thumb area of the mouse are tailored
to greatly reduce stress on the thumb joints in response to
increasing cases of RSI’s related to improper and overuse of
the thumb while texting and emailing from mobile phones,
Blackberrys and PDA’s.
• Design elements of the front of the mouse are tailored to
support the natural curvature of the fingers in a relaxed, nonflexed state.
• Oversized buttons provide the maximum surface area to
evenly distribute the work force required for clicking.
Neutral hand posture, also known as the position of “repose” is the most
relaxed and unstrained position for the hand. In this position, little muscle
activity is present in the hand, wrist or forearm. The position of repose for
the hand is with fingers slightly cupped and splayed, with the thumb
forming a “C” shape with the index finger. The amount of pronation varies
within individuals, but should be in the range of 10 to 45 degrees from the
horizontal. This position is easily observed in a weightless environment, for
example, while the hand is relaxed and suspended in a bath or swimming
pool.
