ELECOM EX-G Thumb Trackball Mouse | NDIS Stationary Control

Stop chasing your mouse across the desk. The ELECOM EX-G Thumb-Control Trackball Mouse is a specialized piece of assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with limited upper limb mobility, shoulder pain, or severe Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).

Unlike a standard mouse that requires constant arm and wrist sweeping, this device stays perfectly still. You control the cursor effortlessly by rolling the trackball with your thumb. This isolates movement to a single digit, drastically reducing the energy and range of motion required to operate a computer, making it ideal for users with limited desk space or those susceptible to fatigue.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Conserving Energy (Motor Control): By eliminating the need to move the arm and shoulder, it reduces physical fatigue. This is vital for participants with conditions like Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, or chronic shoulder injuries.

Precision Control: The optical sensor and "artificial ruby" bearings ensure smooth, precise tracking. The Adjustable DPI switch allows users to slow down the cursor for fine work or speed it up to cross screens with a tiny flick, accommodating different reaction times and motor skills.

Programmable Efficiency: With 6 functional buttons (including a tilt wheel for horizontal scrolling), users can execute complex navigation tasks without needing to use the keyboard as frequently, reducing overall hand strain.

Ergonomic Sculpting: The shape is moulded to support the natural curve of the hand, preventing the cramping often associated with gripping standard mice.

Key Features & Benefits

Stationary Design: The mouse never moves, saving desk space and allowing use on uneven surfaces (like a lap tray or bed).
Thumb-Control Trackball: Concentrates activity to the thumb, resting the wrist and shoulder completely to prevent strain.
Dual Speed (DPI): Switch instantly between 500 DPI (precision) and 1500 DPI (speed) to suit the task or the user's motor capability.
Easy Maintenance: The ball pops out easily for cleaning, ensuring dust doesn't interfere with the sensor (essential for long-term reliability).
6-Button Functionality: Includes Forward/Back buttons and a tilt wheel, putting navigation controls right at the fingertips.
