AlphaGrip technology enables comfortable, high speed, desk-
free typing and gaming on your personal computer. The key
to the AlphaGrip is the placement of rocker buttons and button
clusters on the back of the device. When you grasp the AG-5
your fingers naturally fall on all the buttons you need (including
button clusters on the front of the device where your thumbs
naturally fall) to generate all the letters of the alphabet with a
single keystroke per character. Green and red shift keys let
you generate numbers, punctuations and other functions as well.
Just as the first mechanical typewriter is the ancestor of today's wireless
keyboards, word processors, and printers, the AG-5 may well turn out to be the
first in a long line of high speed, handheld computing and communication
devices. Our long term goal is to enable people to type as fast as they can think
anywhere they do their best thinking.
Suggestion: Figuring out how the AG-5 works without looking at the manual can be a fun
challenge.
Using the AG-5 on a regular basis involves repetitive finger motion. Studies indicate that
activities involving repetitive arm, hand, and finger motion may lead to certain types of
physical discomfort or injury (Repetitive Strain Injuries, "RSI"), including, but not limited to,
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and tendonitis.
AlphaGrip, Inc., has not conducted extensive studies to analyze the AG-5's ergonomic
characteristics and, therefore, does not claim that using the AG-5 is more ergonomic than
typing on a standard keyboard or using a game controller or joystick or that use of the AG-5
is ergonomic at all.
When using your AG-5 for extended periods of time you should take frequent breaks, change
the position of your arms and body at regular intervals, and/or put your AG-5 down to
massage your hands and fingers and to move or stretch other parts of your body especially
your shoulders, neck and arms. If you feel pain, numbness, or discomfort in any part of your
