MX ERGO BENEFITS Improved wrist posture Lower muscle activities Reduced wrist pressure
IMPROVED BODY POSTURE
A MORE NATURAL HAND POSITION Imaging sleeping in space, or in water. Naturally, your body will take a natural fetal position where all the muscles and tendons are at rest. The forearm and hand will take a vertical position, just like in a handshake. Poor posture has been identified as one of the key risk factors for Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). The goal of ergonomics is to moved toward natural postures.
MOUSE MX ERGO HANDSHAKE R ADIUS GOOD BETTER BEST Close to horizontal position b/w 0° to 20° Less vertical position b/ w 40° to 50° Most natural position of the forearm at 90° ULNAR
TILT AT 20° MX ERGO is tillable to an additional 20 degree angle that helps to limit even more the forearm pronation. It makes the trackball the most comfortable pointing device from Logitech. Why 20°? This angle has been studied as the best angle for comfort and aesthetic appeal. A higher angle is seen as too drastic by consumers.
LOWER MUSCLE ACTIVITIES
Upper trapezius Five key muscles are used while moving a mouse or a trackball, and can be involved in potential injuries (e.g. epicondylitis). The less they work, the more relaxed and comfortable the user is.
LOWER MUSCLE ACTIVITIES +12% -35% According to a Logitech study a Logitech M570 trackball tilted at 15° - so very close to MX ERGO design muscular activities are lower in comparison with a mouse for 4 muscles by 35%. Only the thumb abductor muscle works more to move the ball (but only by +12%).
REDUCED WRIST PRESSURE
REDUCED WRIST PRESSURE While using a mouse, the wrist sits on the table for hours. Over time, this pressure can lead to pain, and dangerously to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a repetitive strain injury (RSI). The best solution to avoid this pain is to remove the pressure on the wrist as much as possible. The trackball offers a great solution as its sculpted design and static base (only the thumb is moving) allow the wrist to be relaxed, at rest.
