SWITCH MOUSE FINALIST FOR INNOVATIONS AWARD
Groundbreaking Device Awarded with Citation of Excellence
NEW YORK, June 5, 2007 — Humanscale’s Switch Mouse is a Grand Prize finalist in the Buildings Product Innovation Awards Program. The revolutionary new mousing solution by the Humanscale Design Studio has received a Citation of Excellence in the program’s Computer Solutions Category. Grand Prize winners will be announced at the upcoming NeoCon World’s Trade Fair, which will be held in Chicago June 11 – 13.
The Switch Mouse offers an innovative and healthy mousing solution aimed at boosting computer user comfort while reducing stress. This groundbreaking peripheral device teams two new innovations—a V-shaped base and a scrolling navigation dish—with incomparable adjustability to provide ultimate ergonomic comfort and safety for any computer user.
Its tilted angle—created by a V-shaped bottom—supports the arm at a 45° angle while an integrated palm support supports the entire hand. This natural, neutral position helps prevent injury by eliminating contact between the wrist and work surface, encouraging use of the arm muscles, and allowing the delicate hand and wrist muscles to relax.
A judging team of Buildings magazine editors will visit Humanscale’s showroom at NeoCon on June 11, 2007, to review the Switch Mouse and determine the Grand Prize winners of the Product Innovations awards. Winners will be announced that evening. Both Grand Prize Winners and Citations of Excellence recipients will be featured in the October 2007 issue of Buildings magazine and on the Buildings website.
