Active computer users and Internet explorers are increasingly using the mouse as primary input device. As a result of this extended "unnatural" or non-neutral posture many people are experiencing hand, wrist and shoulder problems. ??The clinically proven answer is the 3M Renaissance Mouse. The unique vertical grip keeps the hand and arm in a more neutral posture. This has been shown to reduce muscle load and the incidence of discomfort associated with disorders such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Repetitive Stress Injury. The Renaissance Mouse is available for PCs, Macs and iMacs in two sizes for optimal fit (small/medium and large). PC verisons offer a programmable third button which performs many actions including a scrolling feature. Minimize
