Have you ever see a concert pianist play with one hand or with the index finger only? Of course not…

But we have been working for years with the PC mouse using only the right hand, clicking with our right index finger….

Until now!

With the ErgoClick we use both hands in a completely relaxed manner – the right hand ( palm only) is used to position the pointer on the screen and the left hand ( palm only) to click. 

People typically grip the common mouse too hard in order to maintain precision while performing clicking actions. 

The ErgoClick will make any mouse of any design better by permitting the user to use a lighter grip on their mouse.

Why use the palm?
When you click your mouse (usually with your index finger) you are using the flexor muscles in your hands, which are used to make a fist (or curl your fingers toward the palm). The extensor muscles are used to open your hand, or extend or uncurl your fingers. The average computer user clicks their mouse (in a typical 8 hour shift) over 3 ,000 -5,000 times in a day. This can lead to the flexor muscles becoming much stronger than the extensor muscles, which will make the muscles in your hands and arms subject to fatigue and can lead to RSI related injuries including " trigger finger" 

What is Trigger Finger? 
Trigger finger involves the tendons and pulleys in the hand that bend the finger. The tendons connect the muscles of the forearm with the bones of the fingers. Each tendon is covered by a slick lining or sheath. When you bend your fingers, the tendons glide back and forth, guided by a restraining pulley.

When the tendon sheath becomes inflamed, it swells and may develop a knot or thickening in the tendon. The knot passes through the pulley as the finger bends, but gets stuck as the finger straightens. This causes further irritation and results in a vicious circle of irritation, swelling, catching and more irritation until finally, the finger locks in a bent position.
