HandshoeMouse Shift - Small
The HandshoeMouse Shift is an ergonomic, ambidextrous and dual connection mouse that is available in three sizes. The newly designed HandshoeMouse Shift supports the hand and fingers in an ergonomic and relaxed position via a revised design of the body and thumb support. Available in three sizes, they are all ambidextrous and offer dual connection options. These additional features broaden the appeal and suitability to a wider range of users. It features a unique contoured design that accommodates ambidextrous use, with the revised design providing additional comfort by extending the supporting area for the hand, palm, fingers and thumb, thereby allowing for the hand and wrist to be ergonomically positioned for both left and right-hand usage. The ambidextrous Shift can be easily switched from left to right orientation, and the freedom to readily shift between right and left usage encourages workload sharing between both hands to perform clicking, scrolling and mouse movement, reducing the wear and tear that would usually be focused on a single hand and arm.

Who is it for?
Ergonomic mouse products are posture neutral variants for office workers who benefit from improved hand, wrist, forearm, shoulder and reach positioning during computer-based work. A Natural R E P O S E is most preferable.
They are suitable for users who:
- use a mouse frequently throughout the day
- experience wrist, hand, forearm, elbow, neck or shoulder discomfort
- need reduced wrist deviation or forearm tension
- benefit from a more neutral hand position
- require left-hand, right-hand, wireless, wired, vertical, central, trackball, or adjustable mouse options
- work in task-intensive environments where pointing, clicking, scrolling, or cursor control is repeated throughout the day
- need the mouse positioned within a more controlled reach zone
Ergonomic mouse solutions support more sustainable hand mechanics by improving the relationship between the user, mouse, keyboard and desk surface.
Suitable Environments
Posture mouse designs are suitable for:
- general office workstations
- WHS-oriented government and commercial office environments
- healthcare, clinical, administrative and professional work areas
- home office setups
- laptop riser and docking station use
- compact desk layouts
- high-use keyboard and mouse workstations
They are especially useful where users perform sustained computer work and require improved control of mouse position, reach distance, hand angle and upper-limb loading.
Problem to Solve
Standard mouse designs may contribute to poor hand mechanics when they force the wrist, forearm or shoulder into awkward or sustained positions.
Common issues include:
- wrist deviation
- excessive grip tension
- forearm pronation
- repeated shoulder reach
- mouse positioned too far from the body
- static wrist or forearm loading
- discomfort from prolonged clicking, scrolling, or cursor control
A R M S™ explains why reach and interface position matter: when the mouse is poorly placed or poorly matched to the user, the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow, and shoulder can work harder than necessary.
Ergonomic mouse options help solve this by supporting more neutral hand positioning, better reach control, and reduced upper-limb loading during sustained computer use.
A R M S™ - Reach Mechanics
Upper limb reach determines shoulder and thoracic tension.
Keyboard, mouse and interface positioning in compact reach zone influence:
- Shoulder elevation
- Scapular stability
- Thoracic rounding
If A R M S™ is excessive or extended, muscular tension increases and posture destabilises.
When compact and supported, shoulders relax and the upper body settles.
Outcome: Reduced upper body strain → supports Natural Repose
Framework Application
A R M S™ - Primary
Reach & Interface
Ergonomic mouse designs support the A R M S™ system by improving the working relationship between the user’s arms, hands, input devices and desk surface.
They may help users to:
- keep the mouse within a controlled reach zone
- reduce unnecessary shoulder reach
- support more neutral wrist and forearm positioning
- reduce ulnar deviation
- reduce excessive forearm pronation where vertical or semi-vertical designs are used
- improve control of the primary work interface
- support left-hand, right-hand, central, adjustable and ambidextrous use
- reduce static loading through the wrist, forearm and shoulder
R E P O S E™ Outcome
Users achieve sustainable comfort through four integrated elements working together to support Natural R E P O S E™.
Natural posture mouse designs are a primary contributor through A R M S™, supporting improved reach, interface control, hand positioning and upper-limb comfort across the workday.
