A Product I'm Eagerly Awaiting: The AirMouse

"It's no secret... Studies have shown that excessive mouse usage can cause repetitive stress injuries. Unfortunately for most of us, "excessive" can mean anything more than a few hours a day. Fortunately, however, there are alternative styles of mice out there designed to be easier on the hands and arms. One of the more interesting ones to come along in a while is the AirMouse, made by Canadian firm Deanmark Ltd. What makes it unique is the fact that you wear it like a glove."

As someone who has suffered from repetitive stress injuries related to keyboard/mouse use for well over a decade now, I've been eagerly awaiting technologies that would assist me in reducing the wear and tear placed upon my body. The creators of this product were on a Canadian TV show called Dragon's Den - which happens to be a fantastic show by the way - and they showed up a clunky prototype. The images above are, I believe, Photoshop'd mock-ups, but you can see where they're going with this. Supposedly coming to market within the next 6-12 months, this is a product I'm going to keep my eye on.


Featured Product
