AimBLADE Support For "Cyber Athletes"


Anyone who uses the computer in excess (say bloggers or workers) knows that using frequently can be strenuous enough to call ourselves 'cyber athletes'. You also probably know that most of us don't really take the proper measures to protect ourselves from RSI or just average aches. There's a lot to consider like posture, screen position, chair height, lighting, breaks, wrist angle, etc. It's basically too much and pretty well ignored. The AimBLADE has come to the rescue here with an arm rest that affixes to your desk. It was developed specifically to be an ergonomic support, reducing stress while using a mouse. Yes, it'd be good to already have armrests on your chair with your computer desk. It's pretty tricky to actually line the two up comfortably, though, so something like this is ideal. More specifically, the AimBLADE seems to work for anyone. It is compatible with left-handed people as well as righties. In addition to that, it doesn't really matter if you use the computer tons or hardly at all; this could still be a good product for you. Then again, I don't think someone who barely computes would be in the market for something like this. One crucial feature is the 360° that this baby can swivel, allowing the user to control a mouse as usual. They also say you won't need any tools to install the AimBLADE, so that's always nice.If you're anything like me, you would like to take the effort to make things better on yourself, even if it's just to justify using the computer as long as you do. I might initially set out to hold my wrists properly when I type or navigate the mouse, or perhaps to sit in a proper posture. Nonetheless, give me a minute to fall into whatever it is I'm doing and all those techniques are lost on me. Anything I can buy to keep me from remembering to practice healthy etiquette is warmly welcomed. At that point, I tend to worry if a gadget would be more inconvenient in the long run, but I think 'no' in this case. It's very appealing and you can check it out for yourself here.

EzKey Keypad Mouse

I love my laptop, plain and simple. But there are a few problems with our relationship and one of the main problems would be my enthusiasm for a full numeric pad for quick number entry. This especially showed through when I had an online statistics course. Well now there is an answer to those that share this frustration with their notebook.
Coming in two flavors of black and white, the EzKey mouse features a flip up shell to reveal a full numeric keypad, perfect for the next time you have to travel and plan on getting some work done on the way. There aren't a whole lot of details as to when this number crunching mouse will be available as the patent is still pending.
