3 CORRECT USAGE: 1. Find a natural resting position for your hand on the base of the mouse and rest your thumb on the mouse button (your thumb should be straight when you click on the mouse). 2. Support your forearm while mousing. Rest the side of your hand on the base of the mouse. This position reduces the strain on muscles and ligaments in the upper arm and forearm when working. 3. Adjust the speed of the mouse (using the mouse setup utility in Windows) so that you can move the cursor around the screen without lifting your forearm or elbow. 4. Keep your wrist in a handshake position, forming a straight line with your forearm and wrap the palm of your hand around the stick. This reduces pressure in the Carpal tunnel and reduces the risk of injuries 5. Move your arm (not wrist) to use your mouse. This results in less strain on the ligaments/muscle of the upper arm, neck and shoulders. Correct: Working Position Correct: Working Position Incorrect: Working Position If your thumb and wrist cannot maintain correct positions, recheck your size. It takes a few days to get used to the Renaissance Mouse 1st day - It is very different from what you're used to. 2nd day - You begin to like it (you're well on your way to learning new mouse habits). 3rd day - That's better. - It is much better than you expected. 3
