We're not sure just how many of you RollerMouse Free ultra-ergonomic mousing solution we've talked about in August, but those of you who do might be interested to know that the company has outed yet another interesting offering, namely the RollerMouse PRO2, a device that's touted as being capable to eliminate reaching for a traditional mouse, thus relieving neck, shoulder and elbow pain.

According to the manufacturer, the Contour Design company, asymmetrical reaching with one side of your body and not the other causes your muscle groups to compensate for the weight of your extended arm while reaching for a traditional mouse, and repetitive reaching oftentimes leads to tightness and pain in the neck, shoulder and elbow areas.

The RollerMouse PRO2 allows you to keep your elbows comfortably by your side, which is a more beneficial ergonomic position.

There is no gripping necessary, thus avoiding the threat of Repetitive Strain Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Tendonitis.

The RollerMouse PRO2 is controlled with the use of an unflexed hand, so there is no need to clutch or hold the device in order to navigate the cursor, your fingertips rolling a narrow bar both up and down and from side to side simultaneously to navigate the cursor over the entire screen, with very little friction or resistance.

There are two easy options to perform a “left click.”, namely by either pushing down on the navigation bar itself, or clicking on the large left button in the button control area.

Other button functions include a traditional “right click” button, a single touch “double click” button, a scroll wheel, a scroll lock , “one touch” copy and “one touch” paste.

Of course, much as in the case of the company's previous offering, the RollerMouse PRO2 does come at a pretty hefty price point, the device selling for around 200 US dollars.
