Q: |
Why does my cursor sometimes stop
before it reaches the edge of the screen? |
|
A: |
The RollerMouse bar can only move
so far left and right. There are 2 ways to address this. First, you
should try adjusting the mouse cursor speed in the standard Mouse
control panel to a higher setting. Secondly, we have built a
technology into the RollerMouse called Edge Detection. If you push
the bar slightly to the direction you were moving, an internal switch
will make the cursor "glide" to the edge of the screen. |

Q: |
I seem to click the bar accidently
sometimes, how can I reduce or eliminate this from happening? |
|
A: |
The position of the RollerMouse
bar being just below the space bar may take some adjusting to.
Normally after a short time of use, this tendency goes away. You
could use the bar tension adjustment under the RollerMouse to help
reduce this in the mean time. Set the knob to the largest dot. The
bar clicker could also be disabled using the dip switches under the
RollerMouse. To disable the bar clicker, set switch #1 to off (down). |

Q: |
I have both a PS2 and a USB port
on my computer, which should I use? |
|
A: |
If your operating system supports
USB, we always recommend you use the USB port. So, generally if you
run any Windows OS other than NT and 95, you should use the USB port.
Win95 and WinNT will require you to use the PS2 adapter provided with
the RollerMouse. You will also have to install our driver on those 2
OS's to enable the Wheel scrolling support. |

Q: |
My cursor is too jumpy, it moves
to fast? |
|
A: |
The speed of the mouse is
controlled using the standard Mouse Control Panel. Use the speed
setting there to lower the setting. |
|
|
|
Q: |
I use my RollerMouse with my
standard mouse or my trackball? |
|
A: |
Yes, if you have a PS2 mouse you
can plug it right into the RollerMouse Aux port, or if you have an
extra port either on your system or through a hub you can plug you're
alternate USB device. |
|
|
|
Q: |
Is there any software required? |
|
A: |
In most cases, no. Windows 95, NT
and Macintosh OS 9.x or prior do require a driver if you want the use
the scroll wheel. Those
drivers are available here. |

|
Q: |
It looks and feels to me like a
left-handed product, do you make a right-handed one also? |
|
A: |
The product is actually for both
the right and left handed user. If you center yourself in front of
home row (asdf jkl;) on your keyboard you will see that the Rollerbar
falls right between the two hands. This central location of the
device and controls, allows you to easily alternate hands and
fingers/thumbs which is recommended to reduce the workload on any one
hand or digit. |
|
|
|
Q: |
Will the RollerMouse work with an
ergonomic keyboard? |
|
A: |
Yes, we recommend using the Kinesis
Maxim keyboard because of its adjustable angle and straight edge
beneath the spacebar. Ergonomic contoured keyboards with integrated
wrist rests won't work as well because the wrist rest moves the
RollerMouse further away than optimal. However, even in those
situations, the RollerMouse does still eliminate reaching and allows
for easily alternating of the hands and fingers. |
