Product Description
The new DXT 2 vertical mouse is a compact ergonomic mouse which has been expertly designed by a team of leading UK physiotherapists and ergonomists. The DXT 2 promotes a neutral (more vertical) wrist posture while allowing the hand to work with a light touch fingertip hold providing precision cursor control. The ambidextrous shape of the DXT2 allows for either right or left handed use.
Choose the standard USB model or the new RF Wireless model with extended battery life and rapid charge system.
Conventional flat mice put unnecessary strain on your hands, arms, and fingers
Forearm Pronation
A conventional flat mouse forces the user to twist their hand palm-down and parallel to the work surface resulting in forearm pronation.
Forearm pronation requires a “static load” which has been shown to cause muscle strains. Pronation can cause pain in the forearm and elbow which can lead to serious injuries.
Static Grip Force
A conventional flat mouse requires a “static grip force” which engages the power-producing “extrinsic” flexor and extensor muscles of the forearm (aka “pinch grip” or “death grip”).
This static grip occurs when the user is moving the mouse, and also when the mouse is at rest. This unnecessary force results in a static load which can cause pain to radiate up the hand, wrist, and arm and can lead to repetitive strain injuries.
Wrist Extension
Many conventional flat mice cause the wrist to make contact with the work surface causing it to bend upward.
Wrist extension creates static muscle tension, reduces blood flow, and puts pressure on the median nerve which can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Shoulder/Neck Isolation
Most conventional flat mice fill the whole hand. “Whole-hand” mice force movement and cursor control up to the shoulder which is designed for large power movements, not the precison control that mousing requires.
Forcing and isolating movement to the shoulder can lead to both neck and shoulder tension.
The DXT2 ergonomic mouse was specifically engineered to solve these problems with its unique vertical shape and fingertip grip
Forearm Pronation
The DXT’s semi-vertical design allows the mouse to be held from a more natural and “functionally neutral” position with the hand gently resting on its side at an angle of 50˚ to 70˚.
Studies show that most comfortable position for mouse operation is when the thumb is higher than the little finger (anywhere between 10˚ and 90˚of rotation).
Static Grip Force
The DXT mouse does not encourage static gripping or “pinch grip” by utilizing the low power producing instrinsic muscles of the hand and creating accuracy through fluid, dynamic movement.
Furthermore, excessive gripping is not even allowed due to the DXT’s ultra light button click force of 50 grams which allow users to hold and operate with a feather-light touch from a fully relaxed hand and finger position.
Wrist Extension
The DXT’s semi-vertical design eliminates all wrist surface contact which allows a more natural and intuitive wrist posture for relaxed and precise control.
Shoulder/Neck Isolation
The smaller DXT mouse spreads the load of moving the mouse throughout the entire arm and hand, reducing stress on the shoulder and neck allowing the hand, elbow and shoulder to work in synergy. No part of the limb is completely isolated.
Choose the DXT2 Wireless for CONVENIENCE and PORTABILITY
Connect the compact RF dongle to an available USB port on your computer for quick and easy pairing.
The integrated, rechargeable lithium-ion is engineered to last for 2 weeks on a full charge, and the rapid charge system allows 2+ hours of use with a mere 30 seconds of charging.
Choose the DXT 2 Wired for VALUE AND RELIABILITY
Convenient USB wired connection for maximum reliability
6ft USB cable
The Leaders in Computer Ergonomics
Kinesis Corporation was founded in 1991 with the objective of developing the first computer keyboard optimized for comfort and productivity. After extensive research, the first Kinesis contoured keyboard, the Model 100, was launched commercially in 1992. The success of the Kinesis contoured keyboard in solving intractable RSI problems has been remarkable and unprecedented.

ERGONOMIC VERTICAL MOUSE: Designed by leading physiotherapists in the UK, the DXT was engineered to promote a neutral, more vertical wrist posture while allowing the hand to work with a light touch fingertip hold providing precision cursor control.
RELIABLE USB WIRED CONNECTION: Plug-and-Play for Windows, Mac & Android
FINGER TIP GRIP INCREASES PRECISION: Unlike other vertical mice, the DXT 2 is held like a pen in the “precision” grip which engages the small muscles and joints of the fingers as opposed to large muscle groups of the shoulder.
IDEAL FOR RIGHT AND LEFT HANDERS: Switch instantly between right and left handed use with the tap of a button. No changes to button-assignments in the operating system are required.
COMFORTABLE TO USE: Lightweight design and low-click buttons ensure maximum comfort when mousing.
