The Rotokiller - Not An Average Mouse

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: TotalRecall

Need a...different mouse? 3D Spotlight has reviewed Good Work Systems' Rotokiller mouse. The mouse is oddly shaped and has 6 programmable buttons. Here's a snip:

The RTR-720, aka "The Equaliser", is unlike any other input device I have seen. I can't quite put my finger on what it reminds me of, but there are definite beetle influences, along with some sort of an industrial image given the yellow mouse ball and rollers, and orange/red LEDs. Perhaps the most striking comparison though is that of the 720 with a 1920s telephone.

Initially rather small, I was puzzled on how to hold it. The accompanying documentation boasts that, unlike all other mice, the RTR is not prone to inducing carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) as it does not induce the pronated posture required of a palm-held device, and thus does not put the weight of the arm on the carpal tunnel.


It indeed does look counter intuitive, but how does it work? Find out here.

That's interesting! That would be hard to get use to.
