The special shape of the HandShoe mouse allows your hands and wrists to float easily. It has full hand and finger support to prevent skin contact with the desktop, which is different from most computer mouse types, you can press on the desktop and work on your wrist or rub the desktop while gliding. Both actions are sources of complaints. With the HandShoe mouse, there is no need to move your fingers over the buttons: when your thumb rests on the support, only a small switch is required. This prevents movement of the thumb, which can cause injury. We recommend that when using the HandShoe mouse you sit and work relaxed and support your forearms (on the table and/or on the armrest of the chair). This protects you from RSI and certain types of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). All in all, the patented biological design of the HandShoe mouse is the ultimate solution to prevent RSI and CTS while making it easy to work with.
In Dutch, the word HandShoe means "glove." The HandShoe mouse "fits like a glove" or "hands are like a saddle," as some people call it. The HandShoe mouse has three standard sizes (small, medium and large), with a wireless version and a wired version. Size therefore matters; there is a Handshoe mouse for everyone. You can order your own HandShoe mouse below. The HandShoe mouse was developed based on appropriate university research and measurements, not on personal beliefs.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and certain types of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). These types of complaints have inspired basic research and field research at several medical universities in Europe. At Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands, basic research has shown that the source of these complaints can be found through a computer mouse. For example, it turns out that grasping, pinching and hovering the finger over the button are the main sources. Gripping and pinching clearly have negative effects on deep neck muscles. To avoid this tension, the so-called power chain from the fingers to the deep neck muscles must be relaxed. To relax, you need the support of your hands and forearms to reduce the strain on your shoulders and arms. The image below shows the trapezius and deltoid muscles, which are unnecessarily stressed if the hands and arms are not supported.
Unlike a conventional or vertical mouse, the head circumference of the HandShoe mouse provides full support for the palm, fingers and thumb. The fingers can relax without constantly hovering over the switch. The supportive arch reduces finger joint pressure and tension (PIP). A similar support position is provided for the thumb to protect its major joints (CMC). This design allows the user to move the HandShoe mouse, moving the cursor, without grasping or depressing the mouse. Moreover, only a slight contraction of the finger is needed to switch gears. This combination of full support and slight muscle action of the mouse provides long-term relaxation, which is not possible with any other designed computer mouse.

The fact is that behind the Handshoe mouse is 2 years of in-depth scientific research and has many positive users. Due to the wide variety of sizes, this mouse fits every hand size.
We recommend the Handshoemouse primarily for hand, wrist and forearm complaints.
An ergonomic mouse with even more comfort is experienced by many clients from the Newtral3 mice which are available in both right and left sizes. Below is the research conducted by Prof. Erik Peper on the effects of the Newtral mouse on the forearm and neck muscles. In these measurements you can see the positive differences in muscle tension compared to the use of a standard non-ergonomic mouse
