Contour Design Announces Major Advancement in Travel Mouse Technology

Windham, NH -29 August 05 - Contour Design Inc., award winning designer of ergonomic human input devices, is excited to announce the introduction of the MiniPRO 2, the next evolution in travel mouse technology.

Upgraded to an ultra-accurate 800 DPI, the MiniPRO 2's new optical sensor provides cursor control twice as precise as the original MiniPRO. Incorporating the revolutionary "Lift & Click" technology, just a small tilt of the mouse turns it instantly and effectively into a four button mouse. The lifting/tilt switches the mouse buttons' primary functions to their secondary settings. All four buttons of the MiniPRO 2 come optimized for use with Mac OS X's Expose and Dashboard and Microsoft Windows, and can be programmed by each user to suit their individual needs. The pinnacle of functionality and portability, the MiniPRO 2 is a must have for the computer user on the move.

Like its predecessor, the MiniPRO 2 is compact and travel worthy, easily fitting into its protective Pack-N-Go case and slipping into a briefcase or pocket to go wherever it is needed. A molded rubber coating offers superior grip for even greater precision control.

The MiniPRO 2 is available now for $32.95 US. The UK price is £17.01 and European price is 25.00 EURO ex VAT.

Founded in 1995 by a small but ambitious team, Contour Design constantly strives to improve the interface between computers and the human body. Along with award-winning ergonomic input devices, they also offer the sleekest, strongest, easiest to use, protective shells available anywhere for Apple's iPod line. Although developing such durable and lasting protection is both time-consuming and expensive, Contour Design has always believed that crafting products of such high quality easily justifies the extra effort.

Please take a moment to visit www.Contourdesign.com/minipro2 and experience the pinnacle of style and functionality. Your notebook will thank you!

Contour Announces A Sleek, Compact Optical Mouse

Windham, NH, October 10, 2000- Contour Design, an international leader in ergonomic input devices, announces a new optical mini mouse, bringing together a sleek ribbed enclosure with advanced Optical Technology.

This product was designed to satisfy the need for a compact, ambidextrous mouse, providing maximum fingertip control. The design yields an input device that will fit any user.

Aptly named the Contour MiniPRO(TM) Mouse, this mini mouse launches the latest evolution in Contour’s distinctive line of award-winning products.

“The use of the latest optical technology allows for a much smaller footprint than previously attainable without sacrificing performance.” says Keith Dupont, Senior Manager of Advanced Technologies at Contour. “The size not only provides excellent fingertip control on your desktop, but also makes it great for use "on the road." The advanced optical controller allows for superior control even in less optimal places such as airplane trays where other mice fall short of being practical.”

The Optical Advantage
Utilizing the latest optical technology the Contour MiniPRO(TM) Mouse won't skip around. There is no mouse ball and no moving parts to clean or to wear out. The MiniPRO(TM) Mouse offers superior tracking on almost any surface, and even tracks on non flat surfaces, such as on your pant legs; or, in contrast, on “the top of your head.”

The unique button design (secondary button behind the primary button) allows users to operate the mouse in variable positions, reducing fatigue. The primary button spans the entire width of the mouse promoting faster, more accurate clicking. Furthermore, the MiniPRO(TM) Mouse comes with multiple colored clip-on buttons to ensure a perfect match for any computer.

For users “on the go,” who would normally wrap the cord around the mouse and throw it into a bag or pouch, Contour crafted the Pack n’ Go(TM) carrying case. The stylish, yet compact case provides storage and prevents kinking and fraying of the mouse cord, protecting your investment.

The USB MiniPRO(TM) Mouse is very easy to set-up and use on both Macintosh and USB Compatible PC’s. For added functionality, USB Overdrive software for Macintosh users allows programming of the secondary button to perform shortcuts such as scrolling, contextual menus or double-click. The MiniPRO(TM) Mouse carries a one year manufacturers warranty.

Pricing and Availability
At the MSRP of $34.95, the Contour MiniPRO(TM) Mouse is affordable, durable, and a sound investment. It is available through major retailers, catalog houses, and from a dealer near you. Please visit our web site for more details: www.contourdesign.com or call 1-800-462-6678.
