iCatch Mouse Adapter |

The
Macsense iCatch Mouse Adapter transforms your iMac mouse into an
ergonomically-sound peripheral. Our team of engineers consulted
with ergonomists to develop a product with the shape, style, and feel
of a standard mouse. The iCatch simply snaps onto your iMac mouse,
providing you with a comfortable shape that molds to the natural contours
of your hand.
Here
at Macsense we pride ourselves on developing products that meet the demands
of Mac users. Sometimes, our forward-thinking attitude even manages
to put our products slightly ahead of the demand. Protect your hands
from the pain before it starts with the new iCatch Mouse Adapter (patent
pending).
What
the critics are saying about the iMac Mouse - Arguments for the iCatch
The
new iMac computer has debuted to rave reviews from just about all of the
Mac publications that have written about it, single-handedly giving Apple
an advantage in the battle of the PCs. The only harsh words that
have surfaced regarding the new computer were pointed at that squashed-circle
of a mouse. Some ergonomists have said the futuristic-looking mouse
design placed too much emphasis on aesthetics instead of feel. Dr.
Alan Hedge told the San Jose Mercury this compromise could eventually
lead to repetitive strain injury in the hands and wrists of users who
work a lot. MacWorld magazine and San Jose Mercury News had this to say:

"The
iMac's translucent keyboard offers good key response and a
solid feel. Alas, the same can't be said of the iMac's
mouse, where style has won out over substance. Its small
form factor makes it difficult to hold comfortably, and because
the mouse lacks the oblong shape of a standard mouse, it easily
gets turned around."

"Because
its size and shape make it difficult to orient, there's a
risk users will grip the iMac's mouse tightly, forcing their
hands into a stiff claw, according to four ergonomists.
Over time, that extra pressure could increase the risk of
developing carpal tunnel syndrome, a disease marked by pain
in the wrist and small muscles of the hand."
