The RollerMouse Free from Contour Design is an alternative mousing device that uses a rollerbar to control cursor movement. The gadget has been designed to fit immediately adjacent to your keyboard or laptop. This places the mousing controls just a few inches below the home keys, keeping your hands within a small work area, eliminating large reaching motions. This central pointing device eliminates the need for a traditional mouse.

The bar rolls forwards and backwards and also moves side to side, allowing the user to control the cursor. Easy to remove palm supports allow you to adjust your RollerMouse Free to your specific comfort prefrences and potential space constraints. Priced at $220, the RollerMouse costs more than 3-times what the Magic Trackpad sells for.

Fortunately Contour Design is offering a 30-day trial period on all purchases, so customers have plenty of time to test the RollerMouse Free and figure out if it works for you. You can order the RollerMouse Free at Contour Design’s website.
