The pistol grip like hand controllers designed by Ergonomic Engineer and Inventor, William Baker will greatly reduce the development of RSI and other stress and musculoskeletal injuries at home and in the workplace.

The advice from doctors and ergonomic specialists for mouse users and game controller users has been to limit use to 10 or 15 minute intervals with 5 to 10 minute breaks. With the ErgoPointer you do not experience the heavy stress and fatigue that one experiences from using a mouse thus extending and improving overall productivity. Employers will also benefit by the reduction of RSI claims, increased productivity and employee morale.
