The original Contour Perfit Mouse, introduced in 1995, has provided over 100,000 users with unparalleled comfort and performance. Years later, the Perfit Mouse continues to be highly recommended by safety specialists, health professionals and ergonomists. In many instances, the Perfit Mouse is the only solution for eliminating or reducing hand and wrist discomfort while maintaining a high level of productivity.

Through years of testing, Contour have discovered a unique posture for the fingers, thumb and palm that is not only great for rapid target acquisition, but also allows maximum muscle and tendon variation throughout point and click operations. Variation is only one of the keys. We also found that when the hand is placed in this balanced posture, local hand muscles come into play. This minimizes the need for flexor muscles that are connected to the fingers through the carpal tunnel. Reduction of carpal tunnel activity is the key to preventing carpal tunnel syndrome.

The new Contour Perfit Optical Mouse adds the latest technology to the unique design of the original Perfit Mouse. A high precision optical sensor provides excellent cursor control. The Perfit Mouse Optical (PMO) places a scroll wheel above the thumb support, rather than on the top of the mouse to reduce the strain on the index finger, which is already heavily used for the primary mouse click. At the bottom of the integrated Thumb Support is the innovative two-position side rocker switch which gives quick and effortless access to two additional programmable buttons.

The Perfit Optical Mouse is available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra-Large for the right hand and Small, Medium and Large for the left hand.

Platforms supported include Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 and XP; MAC OS X, OS 9.x and earlier. USB connection is preferable but PS2 connection will normally work with an adapter.

To find the right size for you, measure on the palm side of the hand, from the tip of the middle finger to the first wrist crease with your hand held flat. This length determines the best size for you:

<17cm - Small
17-19cm - Medium
19-21cm - Large
>21cm - Extra Large

These mice are now principally available in black, although some grey models are still available.
