HandShoeMouse DOs & DON’Ts

DO keep your arm and hand relaxed:

Relaxed hand while the forearm is supported in a relaxed fashion.

DON’T reach and hover the arm:

The arm is reaching for the mouse and is, therefore, strained.

Result: the weight of hand and arm on the mouse will cause unnecessary friction on the desktop. Moving the mouse will be difficult.

DO keep your arm and hand relaxed:

The hand in a relaxed position, fingers and thumb are well supported by the mouse, the forearm is supported by the desktop.

DON’T, the hand is in a wrong, gripping position:

Shows extreme gripping of the hand.

When you hold the HandShoeMouse like this, you will not experience the advantages of its ergonomic bio-design at all.

DON’T, the thumb is not relaxed:

This picture shows the result of muscle memory, after
working with a regular mouse for many years.

With a regular mouse you have to grip the mouse between little finger and thumb. The picture shows the thumb in a strained and bent position, it cannot relax. It may take some time to get used to the relaxed position in which you will work with the HandShoeMouse. The thumb will then relax and just lay supported by the thumb-rest of the mouse.
