The Newtral 3 Mouse from Microtouch is designed to provide ergonomic support for the palm and thumb. The 33° outward angle of the mouse body helps to reduce pronation of the forearm, a common risk factor for fatigue and pain in the forearm and hand. The design of the Newtral 3 Mouse encourages individuals to rest their hand on the mouse rather than trying to grip it. The Newtral 3 body is designed to provide an optimal "Precision Grip" for situations where fine control is necessary. The included Balance and Ergo Grip Flanges attach magnetically. The Balance flange elevates the little finger off the surface while the Ergo-Grip flange elevates the side and heel of the hand, as well as the wrist, with an integrated gel pad providing comfortable support. The "Ergo Grip" configuration eliminates the need to maintain a grip on the device. Instead, the hand is held in position by gravity, and moves with the device.
The Newtral 3 Mouse introduces functional revisions and performance changes from its predecessors, the Newtral and Newtral2, while still retaining the ergonomic benefits of the design. The most notable revision is the transfer of the second thumb button to behind the upper button - a more common position than the top/bottom layout of the earlier models. The thumbrest also has a deeper inset that fully sockets the thumb in place. The DPI button projects slightly higher which means it is more easily activated than on the earlier models. Button activation is still crisp and clean. The Ergo Grip Flange has also been enlarged to provide more space for the little finger as well as now supporting the entire heel of the hand. Overall the body of the mouse is slightly more "angular" in design, varying from the curved shape of the earlier models.
The Newtral 3 Mouse is now available for both Right and Left handed applications. Right hand models include Wireless Small, Medium, and Large sizes and a Medium Wired model. The Left hand model is Wireless and available only in the Medium size. Both wired and wireless models offer fingertip access to multiple DPI settings (see detailed specifications for details) enabling users to choose the pointer response best suited to their needs and are fully user programmable (on Windows only).

---|
Reduces Pronation The Newtral 3 Mouse places the forearm at a 33° outward angle, a significant improvement over the fully pronated, or "palms down," position of a standard mouse. With the palms angled up in what is a more anatomically neutral position, the muscles and tissues of the forearm are subject to a great deal less tension and strain. Learn More About Pronation.
Reduces Risk of Developing "Trigger Finger" The contoured design of the Newtral 3 Mouse provides support for the whole hand and the fingers. Individuals can relax their hand and let their fingers rest on the mouse. The waterfall design of the buttons reduces the load on the extensor muscles of the fingers as they click. This design also helps avoid hovering over the buttons in anticipation of a click (a habit that can lead to repetitive strain injuries.) Learn More About Trigger Finger.
Reduces Risk of Skin Irritation The included magnetically attached Comfort Flange lifts the pinkie finger clear of the surface while the Ergo-Grip Flange totally eliminates hand contact with the mousing surface. This eliminates the friction that can sometimes lead to hypersensitivity of the skin and nerves of the hand.
Helps to Neutralize Wrist Position The included Ergo-Grip flange can reduce or eliminate wrist deviation, an action which has been associated with conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Learn More About Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

The Left hand model is only available as a Medium which is suitable for the widest range of users. The Sizing Guide should be used to make a suitable selection.
- Programmable: Both the Wired and Wireless models of the Newtral 3 Mouse are programmable on Windows OS. Downloadable drivers that offer a wide range of programmability for all six buttons are available for each model.
