Mousetrapper
Ergonomic Solutions for the Modern Workplace
Mousetrapper AB is a Swedish company specializing in the development and production of ergonomic pointing devices. Since the introduction of the first Mousetrapper in 1994, the company has become a market leader in Scandinavia and is increasingly expanding into international markets.
The Philosophy and Mission of Mousetrapper:
The core of the company's philosophy is the belief that no one should suffer from pain caused by an unfavorable working posture with a conventional computer mouse. Mousetrapper has made it its mission to combat and prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), the so-called "mouse arm," neck, shoulder, and arm discomfort, as well as other mouse-related problems.
Products and Design:
Mousetrapper is known for its centered pointing devices that are placed directly in front of the keyboard. This innovative concept allows for an ergonomic working posture, where the arms remain close to the body and the hands rest naturally on the keyboard. This avoids the overextension of the arm, which often accompanies a conventional mouse.
The products are characterized by the following features:
- Centered Positioning: The pointing device is positioned between the body and the keyboard, promoting a natural and relaxed body posture.
- Intuitive Control: Operation is via a central "Control Pad" or "Roller-TouchPad," allowing precise and efficient work. Many models feature click and scroll functions directly on the pad.
- Ambidextrous Operation: The devices are designed to be operated with both hands, distributing the load evenly and relieving the muscles.
- Wide, Padded Wrist Supports: These supports relieve the neck, shoulders, arms, and wrists and significantly contribute to comfort. Many pads are removable and washable for improved hygiene.
- Programmable Buttons: Most Mousetrapper models feature several programmable buttons, whose functions can be individually customized via the "MT Keys" software. This allows for the creation of shortcuts and a personalized way of working.
- Sustainability: Mousetrapper emphasizes sustainability throughout the process—from development and production in Sweden to the longevity of the products and their recyclability. Some products are made from recycled plastic and feature innovative charging options like solar cells.
- Modern Design: Mousetrapper combines functional design with aesthetic appeal to create products that are not only ergonomic but also visually appealing.
Quality and Innovation:
As a manufacturer with 30 years of experience in ergonomics, Mousetrapper places great importance on quality, research, and continuous development. Each new product generation integrates the latest findings in ergonomics to ensure that Mousetrapper remains a leader in enabling users to have a healthy and efficient workflow.
