The Contour RollerMouse Red is a striking device, and unlike any other mouse we’ve seen. The tool sits directly in front of the keyboard, where your wrist rest would normally go. The 7-inch roller bar tracks horizontal movement and acts as a clickable button, while you control vertical movement by rotating it like a scroll wheel.

The RollerMouse Red is a radical, more ergonomic alternative to a conventional rodent. Here I do an unboxing and test things out under Windows 10.

You don't need a dongle. It works with a cord. Just be sure to get a cord that handles data transfer/sync (some cords are only good for charging). The other trick is finding the right shaped cord. The narrow slot in the Rollermouse doesn't have room for an average cord sleeve. It took me 5 stores to find one that worked.

Centrally placed in front of your keyboard, RollerMouse Red eliminates the need to grip or reach for a mouse, which can stress the neck, shoulders, elbows and wrists. Everything you need to control your computer is directly in front of you and your fingertips. This ergonomic position eliminates repetitive movements that can cause neck, shoulder, and elbow pain.

The difference is immediate: your arms stay symmetrical, your shoulders drop, and your hands share the workload evenly. A developer told me it felt "like someone turned off the tension switch" after just one week. The rollerbar glides smoothly left and right, rolls up and down, and clicks with almost zero force. You can use either hand—or both.

If you need to protect your shoulders from unnecessary repetitive movements be prepared for a steep learning curve with the Rollermouse Red. Getting used to operating something that makes a lot of sense but which bucks decades of ingrained non-symmetrical, shoulder-busting usage is going to take time—but your upper body may thank you in the long term.
