Product Information

When I start using the Penguin device, my Apple computer thinks that this is a Keyboard, so I have to cancel the Keyboard Identification process, but the Penguin already works as a mouse, and no installation of any drivers is necessary.

As can be seen in the upper illustration to the right, when the hand is placed on the Penguin Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse the twist of the bones is eliminated, tissues are no longer pinched, and the tension along the tendons is released. The relaxed arm is now able to move the mouse with ease, and the risk of developing a serious Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is greatly reduced.

The control of the mouse is very good, the cursor on the screen moves very smooth and it’s easy, even without much practice the mouse is going exactly where it needs to go. At the bottom of the Penguin (you need to turn it upside down to see it), is an ON/OFF switch (wireless model only) and a DPI button, with which you can select the sensitivity of the mouse. The DPI can be switched between 400, 600, 800 and 1200. Buttons
