MouseTrapper Advance - Prevent RSI

February 1st, 2007 by Al in PC Gadgets

MouseTrapper

This is an interesting extension to your keyboard, a way to physically use your mouse without physically touching it, the Mousetrapper Advance. The aim of the Mousetrapper is to help prevent (or at least relieve the pain of) RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury).

The Mousetracker attaches to your keyboard and your mouse slots into a special cradle at the side. Now to move the mouse you use special scroll bars that are located below the keyboard, this should in theory reduce the amount of movement between keyboard and mouse (I know when I’m blogging my right hand is forever moving between the two).

To me it looks like an interesting idea but does have the drawback of only working with a Microsoft Mouse. The MouseTrapper website looked professional enough however the order form (which strangely accepted credit card numbers without disclosing the price) had no security at all. Found via chip chic thank you very much.
