TAD Customizable Finger Mod for Better Touchscreen ... Touching

Kit Eaton — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 07:48:44 EDT

The TAD gadget is designed to help fat-fingered folks (or just plain clumsy typists, like me) who have trouble with touchscreens or tiny buttons on cellphones. It's simply a plastic ring with a customizable "nubbin" for better contact than your fingertip offers— you can choose rounded for buttons and pointy for touchscreens. The makers claim better accuracy, reduced wear on keypads and even that it protects long nails. My wife's found that long nails are perfect for a Chumby touchscreen, but what the heck. Available in six colors and sizes up to 0.7-inches for $6. [Reghardware]

Fingers Notebook Stand Manages Cables

Not only does this notebook stand prop up the back of your laptop so you can type at a slightly more ergonomic angle, the back of it also has slits so you can pass your cables through as well. Those slits in the back of the Fingers Notebook Stand is what allows your cables to stay in one place and not flop all about when you unplug and move about, something we've got lots of experience with. Unlike other designs, you can actually purchase one of these for 15£ ($30). Now they just need to invent something to keep change from falling out of our pockets when we sit down.
