Spire Reveals a New Ergonomic Mouse
Spire has announced its new Archer ICE ergonomic mouse, which is aimed at being comfortable and reducing RSI symptoms.
Spire claims that the mouse places your fingers and palm in a more natural position than with traditional mice, and as such, it is a much healthier solution for those who use their mice more than eight hours per day. Inside the mouse we find an optical sensor; outside of it there is a 1.5 meter USB cable.
The mouse comes with the standard left and right buttons, a scroll wheel click, forward and backwards buttons, as well as a DPI switcher to switch between 1000 and 1600 DPI sensitivity.
The mouse will be available around the world before the end of the summer and will carry a US price tag of $49.95. It also comes with a two year manufacturer warranty.

If we can get a picture of a hand on this it might make more sense...
Happy tracking balling, the Prisoner...

When you use a "standard" mouse your wrist is rotated to the left. If you stand up and let your hand drop to your side you will notice your palm faces inward toward your body, not behind you. An ergonomic or vertical mouse keeps your palm facing inward and the radius and ulna bones in your forearm remain aligned rather than twisted. This can help prevent or relieve carpal tunnel syndrome.

I agree with the natural twisting to the body, but when you look at the mouse wouldnt that require you to bend your wrist to use?
