centred mice

A centred mouse, also known as a central pointing device or central mouse, looks and works very differently from a standard mouse. Instead of sitting to the side, it’s a central control placed directly in front of your keyboard.

Our centred mice range includes:

• Roll bar mice: A centred roll bar mouse, also known as trackbar, uses a tactile cylindrical bar for precise fingertip control and effortless ambidextrous use, helping to reduce reaching and ease shoulder, wrist and elbow strain
• Trackpad mice: A trackpad mouse is a flat, touch-sensitive surface that allows you to control the cursor using finger movements (like two-finger scrolling or zooming), similar to a laptop touchpad. Great for everyday use, multitasking gestures, web browsing, and document editing, trackpad mice promote a better ergonomic posture by reducing shoulder strain.

Both are designed to sit directly in front of your keyboard to keep your hands in a natural, central position.

Rather than moving a traditional mouse across your desk, you operate a centred mouse using a roller bar, control pad, or touch surface positioned just below your keyboard.

The roller bar can be rolled and slid to move the cursor, while integrated buttons and programmable shortcuts let you click, scroll, and navigate without lifting your hands away from the typing position.

Whether it's a roll bar mouse or a trackpad mouse, a central mouse:

• Improves posture: This central position is the key to its ergonomic advantage. Having the mouse positioned centrally means there’s no need to reach out to one side, allowing you to use either hand or any finger to control the cursor and keep your shoulders and arms in a relaxed, neutral position. The result is reduced strain, improved comfort, and a more natural working rhythm.
• Reduces strain: Because both hands can share the workload, a central ergonomic mouse helps prevent repetitive strain injuries by promoting symmetry and reducing overuse of your dominant hand.
• Increases efficiency: Keeps your hands close to the keyboard, reducing movement time.
• Supports injury prevention: Ideal for those experiencing or wishing to avoid RSI and upper-limb discomfort.

Choose a centred ergonomic mouse if you experience shoulder, neck, arm or wrist pain from long hours at your computer, or if you simply want to promote better posture and efficiency while working.

Central computer mice are also particularly useful in setup environments where desk space is limited or for users who spend most of their day typing and navigating between programs.
