Back when we first locked eyes with the Smartfish ErgoMotion Mouse at
CES we knew there was something totally unique about it. No, it didn't
have a touch strip or 18 buttons, but thanks to its "pivot system," it
did tilt in every which-way. Created by a former chiropractor, the
laser mouse tilts in all directions, but not with the aim of moving
the cursor or controlling anything on screen as one would think. It
wobbles for one reason and one reason only: to relieve arm tension and
reduce the risk of Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). Today the company's
releasing a smaller, more mobile version of ErgoMotion, now called the
Whirl Mini, for $49.95. So, is it what the doctor ordered? Or is it
just another odd looking peripheral to add to the collection? We've
been using it as our primary mouse for the last week, so you'll want
to hit the break to find out.
