The Vibramouse® with Hoverstop® will:

  • Avoid unnecessary stress in hand, wrist, arm and shoulder
  • Increase the level of comfort whilst working on the computer
  • Help to relax and concentrate on the task
  • Improve productivity
  • Reduce the risk for injuries like RSI

...do all of the above without interrupting your work.

Comfort

By using the Vibramouse you will introduce a serie of additional micro breaks while performing your normal work procedures. The additional micro-breaks can add over 10-15 minutes of rest per hour to your hand and arm.

You will experience these micro-breaks as comfortable, reducing the amount of tension in your body and allowing your mind to focus on the task at hand. The short relaxations will help delay the onset of fatigue and will help you feel better throughout the day.

The reaction to the vibration, taking your hand away from the mouse, will soon become second nature. Because of this you will not mind using this mouse, it will not be annoying to you, simply because you will not even notice you are using it. And perhaps equally important, the gentle vibration and your response will not be heard or noticed by your colleagues, allowing them to also concentrate on their task.

Increase your performance

Physical stress, fatigue and pain have a negative influence on the performance of any individual. Allowing your body to relax , feel less tired and avoid discomforts from intensive mouse use will allow you to concentrate on your task and perform better.

Did you know that hard-working employees are 1.5 times more likely to develop RSI. RSI  has an immediate consequence on performance. The Vibramouse will help you focus on your task, reduce fatigue and prevent you from getting RSI.

Prevent injuries like RSI

The Vibramouse can help you prevent RSI because it encourages you to relax your hand and body. The effects of taking breaks have been shown in many publications. Even only 3 short breaks per hour will have positive effects. Many software programs encourage you to take breaks for just that reason. The problem with these software programs is that they do interrupt your work and break your concentration. Vibramouse just removes otherwise unused mouse-holding time (hovering time).

Vibramouse in combination with other tools

If you are using other ergonomic tools such as arm-rests, you can continue to use them without any problem. The Vibramouse with the Hoverstop system will work perfectly with any type of break software already in use.

The Hoverstop mouse system can be built into any mouse or input device. If you have special requirements towards the shape or type of mouse and are interested in the Hoverstop technology, we encourage that you contact your manufacturer and/or Hoverstop about including the Hoverstop technology in their mouse.
