RollerMouse Free2

The RollerMouse Free2 by Contour Design is a central pointing device with a rollerbar that is positioned between the torso and the keyboard. This allows performance of all mousing actions in the area immediately in front of the keyboard and eliminates the need to reach out to the side. The 9.75" roller bar can move along the entire 15" width of the device, allowing either or both hands to be used. The method of input can be varied while keeping both hands within a small work area.

The cursor is moved by rolling a 'dowel' or cylindrical control bar with the fingertips to achieve 'up' and 'down' movement, and sliding this bar from side to side for horizontal movement. Once the desired location is achieved, a left click can be generated by pressing down on the bar (the force required for this is adjustable from ultra-light touch to highly tactile). Seven buttons and a scroll wheel are located below the bar to generate left/middle/right/double clicks, copy, paste and vertical scrolling. There is also a DPI adjustment button to toggle from 800 to 1600 dpi to allow the individuals to select their preferred cursor speed.

The Free2 comes with detachable keyboard 'risers' to lift up thinner keyboards to an appropriate height (3 height settings), ensuring a custom fit for every user. The included low profile palm supports are easily removed.

*** Note: Keyboard not included.

• 'Rollerbar': The RollerMouse Free2's unique feature is the 'rollerbar', a cylindrical trackball with an optical sensor of 800 to 1600 dpi. The rollerbar works by rolling the bar to move the cursor up and down on the screen. To move the cursor left or right, simply slide the rollerbar side to side.
• End Detection: In order that cursor movement remain centered throughout usage, there is an end detection mechanism that shifts the cursor to the left or right side of the screen when the rollerbar can no longer be moved any further left or right. There is a very slight 'click' feel as the end limit of the range of the rollerbar is reached, triggering end detection. On the Free2, the rollerbar is fully exposed and longer than on the Pro2 at 9.75".
• Bar Click Tension Adjustments: A slider on the bottom will adjust the tension of Rollerbar click force. This feature can be helpful for individuals who find that they often accidentally click on the bar while typing.
• Palm Supports: The RollerMouse Free2 also comes with removable leatherette palm supports that relieve stress on the wrists while typing and using the rollerbar. These supports can be removed for cleaning, or when not needed.
• Easy to Use Keyboard “Lifters”: Ultra-slim keyboards are becoming increasing popular, so Contour Design has included two keyboard lifters that allow one to change the height and angle of the keyboard. There are three heights to choose from: low (flat), high (flat), and sloping down and away (negative slope).
• Plug and Play Connectivity for both PC and Mac Computers: HID compliant device has the drivers “on board” and simply needs to be plugged into any empty USB port, without the need for a cumbersome connection routine.
• Seven Button Functions: There are two easy options to perform a “left click.” Either push down on the navigation bar itself, or click on the large left button in the button control area. Other button functions include a traditional “right click” button, a single touch “double click” button, a scroll wheel, a scroll lock , “one touch” copy and “one touch” paste.
• Cursor Speed Selection: The RollerMouse Free2 has 5 different cursor speed settings selected by a control button with five indicator lights. The dpi increments are each 200 dpi: 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, and 1600.
• Slim and Compact: The Free2 is the slimmest and lowest RollerMouse model available at only 3/4" (19.5 mm) in height and 17 5/8" wide (44.7 cm) with the Palm Supports attached.
• Programmable Driver: Although the RollerMouse Free2 works plug and play, you can reprogram the buttons if the standard ones do not meet your needs by downloading the programmable driver from the Contour Design website.
