Easy Cat AG Touchpad

Very little wrist motion and no touch pressure is required, making Easy Cat USB one the most comfortable input devices. To perform basic mouse functions, glide a finger over the smooth surface to point, then tap on the pad or press on the buttons to click or activate vertical scroll by gliding a finger along the right edge of the touchpad.

Features:

• One touch scroll: Vertical Scroll by simply gliding your finger along the right edge of the touchpad.
• Click functionality: Both left and right 'clicks' can be activated by tapping your finger directly on the pad. The right tap area is marked on the pad surface with a change of color and texture, left click by tapping anywhere else.
• GlidePoint technology: Capacitive touch technology provides complete navigation control of any graphical interface, packed in a space-saving, low-friction, durable mouse alternative. GlidePoint’s sophisticated sensor system quickly responds to precise finger movements.
• GlideExtend: Edge extenders are activated when your finger reaches the pad's edge. This Plug-and-Play feature can be customized with installation of the Cirque driver. This feature virtually eliminates the edge of the pad when dragging.
• Versatile: Device will work on your lap, in a vertical orientation - even upside down.
• Withstands spills and abuse: Sealed solid-state design is more resistant than trackballs and other mousing devices.
• Compact size: 3.4"W x 2.7"D x 0.5"H
• Touchpad surface width: 2.4", Touchpad surface depth: 1.7"

Ergonomic benefits

Reduces arm and wrist movement - Because the Easy Cat touchpad is a stationary device, it doesn't require you to move it in order to move the cursor - thus reducing arm movement. And since the touchpad can be angled in any direction while moving the cursor, your hand can be aligned straight with your forearm, reducing any wrist bending (ulnar or radial deviation).

Reduces finger fatigue - Touchpads allow cursor movement by sliding the finger over its surface. The Easy Cat also allows the user to click by lightly tapping the touchpad surface. With these features, the touchpad can eliminate button clicking altogether, resulting is less finger fatigue due to the increased force necessary to activate normal buttons.

Limits over-reaching - Touchpads are both compact and stationary, allowing them to be used in spaces closer to the user and his/her hands than traditional mice. This means that the user has less distance to travel to access the mousing device and does not have to carry the weight of the mousing device to use it. Overall, less travel and less movement will result in less stress on the arms and wrists.

Can be used on left or right side - The ambidextrous nature of touchpads permits them to be used on either the left- or right-hand sides of your keyboard - sometimes they can be used even in the middle!

Can be used at any inclination - Touchpads are solid state devices (i.e. no moving parts) which allows them to be used in a vertical orientation, eliminating pronation of the hand (i.e. instead of using it 'palm down' you can use it in a 'handshake' position), by attaching it to the edge of your keyboard or other items using Velcro® or double-sided tape.
