Reduced EMG – is this attached to any specific holding pattern with the mouse, hand size, right or left hand, or is the benefit for any/all?
Mark: Right hand only. TIFAQ: The engineering model had a very slick surface and one would think that a lightly roughed-up, etched surface would be better as the user might feel the need to grasp a slippery surface harder than one with a light texture to it. Mark: Interestingly, we found that a textured surface provides less grip than a glossy surface and so our mice are now smooth. The greater surface area of plastic interacting with lipids on the skin may be the reason. Perhaps like race cars getting better traction with racing slicks on than with treads. We initially had texture on the pre-production samples, then removed it to achieve better grip. TIFAQ: Very interesting indeed. Thank you for your time and considered effort in answering these questions regarding the Goldtouch Mouse.
