If the tendons of the fingers extensors are in evidence, there is still effort. Usually there will be an evolution leading to the relaxation, as the user continuously works with the Dr. Segalle ORTHOMOUSE. FULL ELIMINATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SIGNS OF EFFORT SHOULD BE ACHIEVED BEFORE EVALUATION OF THE COMFORT LEVEL AND USABILITY.
By supporting the hypothenar eminence on the OrthoMouse, the hand will tend to be placed more to the forward part of the OrthoMouse. This posture will allow the index and middle finger to fall closer to the bottom of the two main buttons, where the effort to click is minimal. This will also place the thumb closer to the thumb's buttons.

“Enhance pointer precision”, and then click “Apply” and “OK”. After a few days of practice with the ORTHOMOUSE, you may go back to this Control Panel and select an even higher speed, which will drastically reduce the sideways displacements of hand and forearm.
To clean the ORTHOMOUSE you need to first to disconnect it from the computer (the wireless OrthoMouse should be turned off). Just swipe a damp cloth over its surface. The area around the sensor must be cleaned with a flexible cotton swab moistened with water and neutral soap.
