Input Devices

The "Goldtouch Mouse" is designed to support the hand in a relaxed, more natural and neutral posture. It also has scrolling/panning capabilities to enhance the ergonomics of the hardware/software interface under Windows 95 applications. The implementation of its unique Scroll Control Button allows the reduction of unnecessary repetitive movements of the fingers and hands. The Goldtouch Mouse may also be used with the Launchpad to elevate and position the hand in an optimum ergonomic position. A terrific new product available at the New Low Price of $59.96! Call for additional information.

Launch your web browser, open e-mail, and pop up multimedia controls with just the touch of a finger! Cirque's new ultra-thin "Cruise Cat" touchpad provides instant access to all three commands right on the pad's surface. With one-touch "hot buttons" at your fingertip, you can quickly automate default web functions or your own custom shortcuts without searching the hard drive for applications or file names.

And that's not all... a fourth hot button on the touchpad allows access to many other shortcuts including copy, paste, minimize, maximize, close application and more. These easy, fast-action commands are like nothing you've every seen in a pointing device. Touching the button brings up Cirque's new "Touch Gestures" feature, a unique benefit in our Fifth Generation touchpad that lets you quickly "draw" any letter or symbol on the surface with your finger to activate a command. Drawing an "X", for example, might close an application; "F" might open your financial spreadsheet; "Hi" might bring up the last version of your letter to Mom; and so on. You can build on Cirque's default Touch Gesture settings or create your own. The Cruise Cat also includes one-touch surfing, scrolling, zooming and other award-winning features that can be found in our other popular Cirque Cat touchpads. Its instant-access convenience plus the comfort of a touchpad will make even the most ardent mouse-lover consider switching to Cruise Cat!  Please specify serial or PS/2 connector when ordering. Compatible with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.  Available for $99.96

 


Alternative Keyboards

 

The new "Goldtouch" Keyboard offers a great value for the dollar spent. More importantly, because of its innovative adjustability, average and intensive keyboard users can expect improvements in both posture and comfort.

Designed by Mark Goldstein, the inventor of the original Lexmark Select-Ease keyboard, the "Goldtouch" keyboard offers many unique and functional features that help minimize the impact typing has upon the hands. The Goldtouch Keyboard has a small form factor which minimizes the amount of desktop space required for use. It also features an embedded numeric keypad rather than a standard numeric keypad normally situated to the right of the alphanumeric keys. By moving the numeric keys closer to the user, the Gold touch keyboard helps eliminate ulnar deviation and pronation that is associated with improper extension of the hands during keyboard entry.

With the simple release of a lever, the Goldtouch keyboard will "tent" and "split" up to thirty degrees in each direction. Raising the two keyboard segments in the center allows user's hands to assume a natural "repose" position. Splitting the keyboard in a horizontal plane, positions your wrists in a straight, neutral posture rather than a pronated and deviated one. Positioning the hands in a natural position while keyboarding may, in most instances actually help reduce unnecessary muscle involvement, reduce fatigue and tension and improve blood flow into and out of the hands.

Combined with a new, lighter, more responsive touch, several outstanding posture improving features and a low introductory price, the Goldtouch keyboard is the complete ergonomic keyboard solution. Introductory priced at just $139.96! Separate numeric keypad is $69.96. Call and order NOW! Be one of the first to own this new and exciting breakthrough in ergonomic keyboards. Also, please see the new "Goldtouch" mouse in the input devices section.
