Ergonomic "Remember-to-Relax" Mouse

How does the mouse work?
The Hoverstop mouse detects if your hand is on the mouse. It then monitors if you are actually using it (clicking, scrolling). If you are not using it for more than 10 seconds, it will vibrate softly to remind you to take your hand away and relax. This will give you many (micro) breaks per hour. Meanwhile you continue to work normally (thinking, reading), without being disturbed. If you need the mouse again, just pick it up to resume work.

How do I benefit?
The system helps you to relax up to 25 times an hour. On average you will have 10 minutes of 'free' breaks each hour. That is a lot of relaxation time. Most people find it not only helps them relax, but also improves concentration on the task at hand, they get less tired and feel more comfortable.

Which technology has been used?
The Hoverstop mouse has a built-in sensor that detects if there is a hand close to or on the mouse. It then starts a timer-counter. Mouse action (clicking, scrolling) is monitored. If there is no mouse action for more than 10 seconds, the built-in vibration unit is triggered. The vibration will continue until you click the mouse or remove your hand. Every time you click or scroll the timer-counter is reset to zero, so during ordinary, active use of the mouse a signal is never generated. However, our research results show that there are always longer periods of inactive time, with you still holding the mouse.

The Hoverstop mouse is operating system independent. All necessary functions are performed by the mouse itself, not using processor time from the PC or slowing it down. Just plug it into the USB port and start using it.

What adjustable settings do I have?
The Hoverstop mouse does not require a special driver or software to operate. The default driver of your operating system will allow to adjust settings like mouse speed and double-click sensitivity.

Hoverstop Sym 8-3 is a symmetrical three-button mouse with scroll wheel. The 800-dpi optical sensor ensures maximum precision during mouse use. The mouse is plug-and-play on all common operating systems and will operate both on USB as PS/2.

Plug and Play
Computer systems very quickly get clogged with drivers and all kinds of support software. Hoverstop works without drivers on any operating system or platform. It will be recognized as any other standard mouse.

There is very little instruction needed to learn to work with this mouse. Just take your hand off the mouse when it vibrates, rest it on the table and relax.
