Simtrix Swiftpoint Mouse Triped, Slider - Ergonomic, Reduces RSI

Ever get tired of using the oddly-placed touch pad on your laptop or get annoyed with a mouse that can cause wrist pain? Do you get frustrated with a mouse that doesn't exactly work when you happen to be in a place without a desk?

New Zealand based Simtrix introduces the handy Swiftpoint mice. These two mice are small and portable. Stated on the Simtrix Web site, there are six reasons to choose Swiftpoint:
Portable, Intuitive, Efficient, Ergonomic, Accurate, Multi-functional!

The first mouse, the Triped, is primarily used for tablet PC's and multi-touch table-top surfaces. Shaped like, well, a tripod, this mouse fits right into your fingers like a pencil. Basically, you are writing with your mouse.

The second mouse, the Slider, is ideal for portable laptops. Small and easy to use, this mouse is slightly bigger than your thumb and can be used with home multimedia products as well.
These mouse can also reduce the risk of Repetitive Strain injuries caused by lateral arm movements, hand and wrist rotation, and vertical clicking operation.
