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.
