Got better things to do with your hands

Posted in Business, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets, USB by david on the July 21st, 2007 at 9:00 am

In that case maybe the foot mouse is the thing for you. There is a foot rest, which holds the device down to the ground, while your other foot operates the foot control, which will control the pointer by using one of the six buttons and even a scroll wheel.

There are two points that spring to mind here, one that the controls must take a bit of getting used to and finally the most important thing, all of the shoeless feet, it just doesn’t bear thinking about, does it?

Features:

Two-level ergonomic layout of control pedal
Scroll roller and all mouse clicks plus a one-hit double click
Programmable buttons for defining any shortcuts (up to 10 shortcuts for each program)
Window on screen showing all button functions (helps feet to “see” and touch)
Preset popular shortcuts for popular programs
Slipper-shaped efficient cursor controller w/ optical sensor at the bottom
Elastic strap and Velcro ends fitting any sizes of foot
Powered by user-friendly Neuratron™ software
Compatible with most Windows and Mac OS

the footmouse

Benefits:

Speed up audio/video editing, graphic designing or other computer works
Enable people to multitask simultaneously
Avoid repetitive hand/eye movement between hand-controlled input devices
Reduce hand/wrist stress and help heal carpal tunnel syndrome or other injuries
Keep clean/dirty hands off keyboard/mouse
Give video gamers more “hands” to fight

Priced at $199.00
