RollerMouse Free 2

Model: RIM-FREE2-BLK

  • ergonomic, ambidextrous

The RollerMouse Free2 by Contour Design is a central pointing device with a rollerbar that is positioned between the user and the keyboard. This allows the user to perform all mousing actions in the area immediately in front of the keyboard and eliminating the need to reach out to the side. The 9.75″ roller bar can move along the entire 15″ width of the device, allowing either or both hands to be used. The user can vary the method of input while keeping both hands within a small work area.

The cursor is moved by rolling a ‘dowel’ or cylindrical control bar with your fingertips to achieve ‘up’ and ‘down’ movement, and sliding this bar from side to side for horizontal movement. Once the desired location is achieved, the user can generate a left click by pressing down on the bar (the force required for this is adjustable from ultra-light touch to highly tactile). Seven buttons and a scroll wheel are located below the bar to generate left/middle/right/double clicks, copy, paste and vertical scrolling. There is also a DPI adjustment button to toggle from 800 to 1600 dpi to allow the user to select their preferred cursor speed.

The DXT Ergonomic Mouse 2 features light click buttons to minimize the effort required for clicking. The unique ambidextrous design enables the user to easily balance the workload between the left and right hands.
