The RocketMouse ($40) by ErgoTouch doesn’t look much like a regular computer mouse. Built more like an egg with a hole through the middle, the RocketMouse was designed to relieve wrist, arm and back pain associated with poor posture and carpal tunnel syndrome.
When you’re typing, RocketMouse can hang from a small hook (included in an accessory pack) that attaches to a nearby wall or your monitor. Made for use by either hand, the mouse has a 5-foot cord, comes with a USB connector or a PS/2 connector and is available in several colors. Users need not install drivers or programs to use it, and it works with a PC or Mac.
RocketMouse does have a drawback. It isn’t convenient to use if you’re doing a lot of typing on the keyboard, since it requires users to unclasp it to return a hand to the keyboard.
