Introducing the New Perfit Mouse Optical (PMO) and Perfit Mouse Classic Plus (PMO5). Evolving from the original patented shape, the new versions maintain the ergonomic integrity of the time-tested form while adding new productivity enhancing features.

The original Perfit Mouse, introduced in 1995, has provided over 100,000 users with unparalleled comfort and performance. Years later, the Perfit Mouse continues to be highly recommended by safety specialists, health professionals and ergonomists. In many instances, the Perfit Mouse is the only solution for eliminating or reducing hand and wrist discomfort while maintaining a high level of productivity. Proactive companies use the Perfit Mouse on mouse intensive workstations because it is highly effective in preventing mouse related injuries.

What's the secret? Through years of testing we have discovered a unique posture for the fingers, thumb and palm that is not only great for rapid target acquisition, but also allows maximum muscle and tendon variation throughout point and click operations. Variation is only one of the keys. We also found that when the hand is placed in this balanced posture, local hand muscles come into play. This minimizes the need for flexor muscles that are connected to the fingers through the carpal tunnel. Reduction of carpal tunnel activity is the key to preventing carpal tunnel syndrome.

The new optical versions add the latest technology to the unique design of the original Perfit Mouse. A high precision optical sensor provides excellent cursor control. The Perfit Mouse Optical (PMO) places a scroll wheel above the thumb support, rather than on the top of the mouse to reduce the strain on the index finger, which is already heavily used for the primary mouse click. At the bottom of the integrated Thumb Support is the innovative two-position side rocker switch which gives quick and effortless access to two additional programmable buttons.

Stop mouse related pain and discover the comfort and performance of the Perfit Mouse Optical and Perfit Mouse Classic Plus. We believe you must feel it to believe it, so we offer an unconditional 30-day money back guarantee.
















Important Note:

The 2 position side rocker switch uses very light touch internal switches and are designed not to require pinch force to activate. The switches "click" with a very slight forward or backward motion of the thumb. The switch "rocker" is rubber coated and textured to provide maximum grip, with little effort.

 

Price

  • Perfit Mouse Optical (PMO) and Perfit Mouse Classic Plus (PMO5)
    MSRP $109.95.
Key Features
  • 800dpi Precision Optical Tracking
    Twice the tracking precision of many other optical mice. No performance degregation due to dirt buildup like "ball" style mechanisms.

    The Perfit Optical Mouse is available in
    Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large for the right hand and Small, Medium and Large for the left hand.
  • Sculpted Elevated Buttons
    This enables the hand to remain open with the fingers extended in a ready position for quick button activation. Buttons are elevated and shaped to reduce excessive load on the fingertips.
  • Thumb Support with Integrated Scroll Wheel & Two position rocker switch (Perfit Mouse Classic Plus models do not have Scroll Wheel)
    This gives you the user added Support, Control and Comfort. Allows you to move the mouse with reduced Pinch Force which is known to increase the risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The Scroll Wheel provides scrolling and the textured, rubber coated light touch two position rocker switch provides access to additional repetitive commands.
    (See Important side note.)

  • Elevated Wrist Support
    Reduces pressure on the wrist by keeping it off the desk top. Maintains a straighter wrist alignment and minimizes Lateral Deviation. Balances the hand in a neutral, tilted posture. Prevents static grip by allowing the hand to rock freely.

    The Perfit Optical Mouse support both PS2 and USB connections, providing support for the majority of todays and older computer systems.

  • Programmable Software
    Using our software enables you to customize the Perfit Mouse Optical and accomplish tasks faster and easier. Set the buttons individually.
