  • Page 27 TILT AT 20° MX ERGO is tillable to an additional 20 degree angle that helps to limit even more the forearm pronation. It makes the trackball the most comfortable pointing device from Logitech. Why 20°? This angle has been studied as the best angle for comfort and aesthetic appeal. A higher angle is seen as too drastic by consumers.

  • Page 29 Upper trapezius Five key muscles are used while moving a mouse or a trackball, and can be involved in potential injuries (e.g. epicondylitis). The less they work, the more relaxed and comfortable the user is. Extensor carpi Flexor carpi ulnaris Thumb abductor Thumb...
  • Page 30 LOWER MUSCLE ACTIVITIES According to a Logitech study a Logitech M570 trackball +12% tilted at 15° - so very close to MX ERGO design - muscular activities are lower in comparison with a mouse for 4 muscles by 35%. Only the thumb abductor muscle works more to move the -35% ball (but only by +12%).
  • Page 31 REDUCED WRIST PRESSURE...
  • Page 32 REDUCED WRIST PRESSURE While using a mouse, the wrist sits on the table for hours. Over time, this pressure can lead to pain, and dangerously to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, a repetitive strain injury (RSI). The best solution to avoid this pain is to remove the pressure on the wrist as much as possible.
