Roughly three million years ago, when I’d just started at Gizmodo, Logitech’s Performance Mouse MX won our Best Wireless Mouse Battlemodo. It was a triumph of ergonomics and it was a joy to use. Well, almost four years later, it’s received an update: the MX Master.
Jeff Weber spotted a design rarity: The market opportunity is massive, and the products out there are terrible.
Or a shoe, if the name is anything to go by, though I've always preferred the term "glove" to "handshoe." But that's neither here nor there, and despite its name the Hippus HandshoeMouse looks pretty fantastic. Ergonomic mice often fall into different=better trap, simply offering you a new contorted position in which…
Microsoft likes doing things in pairs, which is why they're on the verge of releasing this Wireless Laser Keyboard 7000 to go along with the Wireless Laser Mouse 7000 they announced a few weeks ago. It's pretty similar to other Microsoft ergonomic keyboards, except there's a neat glass frame around the edge of the…
From the people who bought you the Wow-Pen Mouse, now get your hands around the Wow-Pen Joy Mouse. This shark fin-shaped mouse is F to the Ug to the Lee, but its ergonomics can only do good things to you (or something). It supports Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista, weighs 200g and has a resolution of 800 dpi. Expect it to…
The makers of this unique looking Ayur Chair claim that it can provide "perfect lumbar support while ergonomically lifting and separating your butt checks for optimum comfort." Since I have never sat in one, I can't really back up this claim. However, I can see how it would be beneficial when you have a serious beefer…
As you might have guessed, the name of this unique piece of furniture derives from Michael Faraday —an English scientist known for his contributions to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. So, that partially explains why they went ahead and designed a stool that bears more than a passing resemblance to…
There are plenty of unique looking computer mice on the market, but few look as interesting (and ergonomic) as this Aircraft Mouse with flashing LED lights. It is only sporting an 800dpi optical sensor, so it is far from being a true "top gun" of the peripheral world, but it definitely will earn a few style points —if…
In what seems to be an ongoing string of new product launches, Logitech today introduces its Wave keyboard ($49.99) and Cordless Desktop Wave system ($89.99), both available in late August.
Yeah, something can be vertically stupid, do something. This mouse is designed to sit upright on it's side (obviously) for ergonomic benefits. Most of the buttons and scroll wheel are on the side to still be used by your pointer and middle fingers. I'm trying to imagine actually using a mouse like this, and it isn't…
Typing all day long can put a great deal of strain on your wrist (I call it "Giz-wrist) so peculiar-looking keyboards like this Kinesis Freestyle might not be such a bad idea to look into. Kinesis has two models up its sleeve, the Freestyle Solo and the Freestyle Incline with VIP package. The difference between the…
People with repetitive stress disorders, also known as wimps, might like the Wow Pen Eco. Its name is a bit of a misnomer, since it has very little to do with a pen (well, it does offer hand recognition with the right software) and doesn't really echo or anything. That said, its design is such that it's supposed to…
This new mousepad and wrist rest allows you to mouse at a more natural position than just placing your palm down on the desk.
There's no shortage of ergonomic peripherals these days, though we do kind of like the pointy shapes that come on this Designer Appliances AirO2bic grip-less mouse. Pronounced "aerobic," it specifically claims that it can prevent and even remedy Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
