De R-Go Twister is een ergonomische verticale muis die zowel links- als rechtshandig gebruikt kan worden. Dankzij het gepatenteerde Switch & Fold-mechanisme verander je de muis met één eenvoudige draaibeweging van een rechtshandige naar een linkshandige muis. Hierdoor kun je regelmatig van hand wisselen en de belasting beter over beide handen en armen verdelen. De Twister is daarnaast volledig inklapbaar, waardoor je hem eenvoudig meeneemt in een laptop- of werktas. Zo kun je ook onderweg of op verschillende werkplekken ergonomisch blijven werken.
Het verticale ontwerp ondersteunt de hand en pols in een natuurlijke houding en helpt onnodige belasting tijdens het muizen te verminderen. Door regelmatig tussen de linker- en rechterhand af te wisselen, voorkom je dat één hand voortdurend wordt belast. De R-Go Twister is ontworpen voor middelgrote handen met een handlengte van circa 165 tot 185 mm. Het ambidextere ontwerp maakt de muis bovendien ideaal voor flexwerkplekken of werkplekken die door zowel links- als rechtshandige gebruikers worden gedeeld.
Het unieke aan de R-Go Twister is het gepatenteerde Switch & Fold-systeem. Met één draaibeweging pas je de muis aan voor links- of rechtshandig gebruik. Vervolgens kun je de muis volledig inklappen tot een platte vorm, zodat hij weinig ruimte inneemt tijdens vervoer.
Hierdoor combineert de Twister ergonomisch werken met maximale flexibiliteit en is hij bijzonder geschikt voor hybride en mobiel werken.
De geïntegreerde LED-pauze-indicator helpt je herinneren om regelmatig een korte pauze te nemen. In combinatie met de R-Go Break-software geeft het lampje met verschillende kleuren aan hoe gezond je werkgedrag is. Zo helpt de Twister niet alleen bij een ergonomische houding, maar ook bij het regelmatig onderbreken van langdurig computerwerk.
De R-Go Twister kan zowel draadloos via Bluetooth 5.2 als bedraad via USB-C worden gebruikt. Een USB-A-adapter wordt meegeleverd, waardoor de muis op verschillende computers en laptops kan worden aangesloten. De muis is Plug & Play en compatibel met zowel Windows als macOS.
Voor een comfortabele en nauwkeurige cursorbesturing beschikt de Twister over meerdere DPI-instellingen. Je kunt kiezen uit 400, 800, 1200, 1600 en 2400 DPI, zodat je de snelheid van de cursor kunt aanpassen aan jouw werkzaamheden en persoonlijke voorkeur.
De R-Go Twister is vervaardigd uit 100% gerecycled kunststof en aluminium. Hiermee combineert de muis een ergonomisch ontwerp met duurzaam materiaalgebruik.
De R-Go Twister is een veelzijdige ergonomische muis voor iedereen die links- en rechtshandig wil kunnen werken. Het inklapbare ontwerp maakt hem bovendien een uitstekende keuze voor flexwerkers en professionals die regelmatig op verschillende locaties werken.

On average, mice take up 30% to as much as 70% of working time behind a monitor. These percentages depend on the work tasks, but there is no denying that they are substantial. Thus, the mouse is still gaining ground on the keyboard, especially with the increasing use of online applications. Still, the mouse has to settle for a marginal place, somewhere to the right of the keyboard. The mouse is even almost out of reach when there is too much "clutter" on the desk or when the desk is too narrow.
Research into causes of RSI complaints
Research by Peper and Harvey (1997) at San Francisco State University demonstrated the relationship between keyboard width and muscle tension in the neck, back, arms and wrists. Mouse users especially report tension complaints of neck, back and arms. These complaints are compounded by chronic tension caused when the cursor must be moved accurately.
Many mouse users hold the index finger still just above the mouse surface, in tense anticipation of the next mouse click. This is another cause of chronic tension in the hand, wrist joint, all the way to the shoulder area.
The effect goes even further, as it also results in high chest breathing. A better working method is to include micro and macro pauses every time we have to wait. Use the waiting time to drop the hands in the lap to rest for a while. Thus, the time spent holding the mouse in the hand can be shortened considerably in favor of recovery time.
Over time, "mouse abuse" can lead to irritation of muscles and tendons and reduced blood flow to the tissues in the hand, arm and shoulder. Before we know it, we are suffering from the chronic overuse condition also known as "mouse arm.
It need not come to this, if we take an ergonomic mouse, appropriate to hand size and work, and take a few simple precautions in terms of posture and behavior.
Prolonged work behind the monitor is low-movement and any variety is mental rather than physical. Progress has advanced to the point where we send emails to colleagues working in the same room. Thus, the body remains statically tethered to the chair and the muscles remain tense at a low, yet unconsciously too high, level while working.
Because we don't notice that relatively low level of tension, because the tension is only 5-10 percent of the level of maximum tightening. That seems almost nothing, but continuous low muscle tension is actually harmful. This is because the muscles are not given a chance to move smoothly and then relax and recover. This, in turn, contributes to the development of mouse arm and carpal tunnel syndrome.
It is therefore important to move around as much as possible and to alternate the work. Even if you have the most ergonomic mouse and the desk is so ergonomically designed, the responsibility for correct use, behavior and frequent change of position lies with you as the user and "owner of your body".
Movable and relaxed neck and shoulder muscles
Many screen users complain of pain in the neck and shoulders. Most probably because the attention is concentrated on the screen and not on the body. The unconscious and slow raising of the shoulders is not noticed. Until it starts to hurt. Also, the neck is often stretched forward to see better. This too strains the muscles unnecessarily. Simple exercises make the tension conscious and only then can the tension be consciously released.
1.Dangle
Let the arms dangle along the body. Draw the shoulders up toward the ears and hold the tension for a moment. Release the shoulders. Pull the shoulders up a little further and release again. Rotate the shoulders around and feel the relaxation. Keep breathing calmly.
2.As a turkey
Pull your neck back as if someone were pulling a string attached to the back of your neck. Just keep your head straight or look down slightly. Keep your shoulders, jaws and tongue relaxed. Continue to breathe easily and relaxed. Stay in this turkey pose for about 5 seconds. Do this exercise 10 times a day.
3.Write with your shoulders
Imagine a very long pencil strapped to the head of your right shoulder. The pencil reaches up to the wall. Write your first name on the wall and do so by moving your shoulder. Now write your last name on the wall with your left shoulder. Repeat this exercise a few times with different texts.
4.Reach for the ceiling
Bring both your arms above your head with your fingers pointing to the ceiling. Breathe with the stretching. Reach toward the ceiling with your left hand, release slightly, then reach toward the ceiling again with the right hand. Go back and forth like this for one minute. As you stretch your right arm upward turn your head to slightly to the left. As your left arm stretches upward you turn your head to the right. Experiment with the direction of the head and arms.
5.The upside-down world of the chair
The wrist is a delicate joint. Muscles, tendons, blood vessels and nerves run through a narrow, fragile tunnel there. Therefore, keep your wrists straight so that nerves are not pinched and blood flow, and thus recovery, is not unnecessarily disrupted. Your hand, just below your little finger, makes an angle with the forearm when you bend your hands outward. This often happens unconsciously when you type or when you mouse. Eventually, a persistent condition called "carpal tunnel syndrome" can develop. Working with bent wrists can also cause discomfort in the neck, shoulders and arms. Therefore, avoid working with bent wrists as much as possible.
Exercises you can do yourself to prevent RSI
Spread the fingers of both hands as far apart as you can. Do this for five seconds while keeping your shoulders and jaws relaxed. Now ball the hands into fists. Do that again for five seconds while keeping your shoulders and jaws relaxed.
Repeat the exercise three times.
Place the palms together and then press the hands down. Keep the palms flat and press them together.
Hold your hands behind your back. Straighten your arms and your elbows. Now push your arms away from your back as far as possible while continuing to breathe calmly and keeping your shoulders relaxed. Then return to the starting position. Relax again.
Repeat the exercise five times.
