Product Description

Assistive Technology Desktop Joystick
easy navigation, selection and manipulation of
objects on the computer screen.
The 'Rock' emulates a computer mouse but,
with fingertip control and the need for only
minimal hand movement, reduces wrist and
elbow fatigue, requires far less effort and is
less tiring.
The symmetrical design enables users to work
with either hand without having to angle the
wrist, and the unit can also be configured for
'left-handed' operation. Its large, integrated
hand support/palm rest makes work posture
more relaxed and less strained.
