Hoverstop mouse

The Hoverstop mouse from ThinkGeek provides a timely reminder for you to take5Hoverstop_Mouse.jpg your hand off the mouse if it remains inactive for more than 10 seconds via a gentle vibration, courtesy of the internal motor. This is a great tool for those who spend most of their working time in front of the PC, as the timely reminders could go a long way in preventing the dreaded Repetitive Stress Injury and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome that is so common among those who use a computer for extended periods of time without proper rest. Pick one up for $69 today - this 800 dpi optical mouse might be a bit more expensive than other generic optical mice, but the extra investment is worth it many years down the road when your wrists are still functioning perfectly fine without any pain whatsoever.

Pros : Reminds users to relax the hand
Cons : More expensive when compared to optical mice in its class
