Handshoemouse -

Hippus, a company of Dutch origin, developed the HandshoeMouse. Employees at the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam were often presented with the same complaints and set out to find the cause. After various studies, they sat down at the (drawing) table and created the design for the HandshoeMouse, an ergonomic solution for complaints in the fingers, hand, wrist, arm, and shoulders.

“Ergonomic working should actually be the highest priority, because you make the same movements day in, day out”

HandshoeMouse Product Development

The origin of the HandshoeMouse lies with the Erasmus University Medical Centre in Rotterdam. Employees are increasingly seeing patients with complaints in the neck, arm, hands, and fingers. After research, it appears that a passage in the deep neck and a membrane in the forearm are most likely the cause of the complaints. The complaints are quite general, but they still focus on patients who use a keyboard and mouse for many hours daily. By selecting a target group, comparisons could be made more easily. In this way, employees of the Ministry of Finance who had complaints participated in the study.

As expected, the focal points in the neck and forearm were indeed the culprits. This formed the basis for further anatomical research, which was carried out at the University of Hasselt in Belgium.

The research showed that a hand-supporting shape could be a possible solution to reduce or alleviate the complaints of mouse users. After many developments and adjustments, Hippus finally introduced the HandshoeMouse. It was presented in ergonomic work environments in Europe and North America. Eventually, so many units were sold that production was moved to Asia to keep up with sales.

After years of development, the successor to the original HandshoeMouse is launched: the HandshoeMouse Shift. This variant can be used by both left and right-handed people. A sliding mechanism on the underside allows the mouse's position to be adjusted within seconds. This can be the ideal solution for people who want to switch hands when using their mouse to prevent complaints. The enlarged support surface offers extra comfort to the palm, fingers, and thumb. Finally, Bluetooth is added to the mouse, making it easier to use.

Later, it was decided to bring production back from Asia to the Netherlands. Conscious consideration was given to the production environment and the employees of HandshoeMouse. This way, everything can be better controlled, and every step taken can be carefully considered. In this way, the computer mice can be produced with minimal impact.

Your new companion

The HandshoeMouse is available in 4 different sizes and a left and right-handed version. The HandshoeMouse Shift is available in 3 different sizes. It is important that you choose the correct size, as otherwise, you could worsen complaints. For example, with a mouse that is too small, you might cramp your grip, and with a mouse that is too large, you will quickly work inaccurately. To find out which size fits your hand, you can measure your hand. You can see how to do this in the image opposite.

What you think

Every day, HandshoeMice are sold at Ergowerken. We receive a lot of feedback from our customers. Here is a small selection of the many reviews:

Adriaan suffered from osteoarthritis and therefore started looking for an ergonomic mouse. He couldn't see the wood for the trees, so he asked our Jesse for help via chat “I have been using the HandshoeMouse for several weeks now to my complete satisfaction, and I notice that it really gives my hand/fingers more rest! A colleague also placed an order immediately yesterday!”

Robin is also pleased with his HandshoeMouse. He has tried many, but this is truly the best. He also says: “You are automatically forced to steer with your whole arm instead of just from the wrist, and your hand immediately gets much more rest”

Maureen bought the HandshoeMouse on the recommendation of her physiotherapist. She says: “after just one week, the complaints of RSI have significantly reduced. I didn't have to get used to the mouse at all”

Sanne returned her HandshoeMouse because it didn't suit her. She says: “I can't get used to such a large surface moving across my desk. I have a very small hand, but even for that, the S mouse was still on the small side; if in doubt, order a size larger”

We haven't had the HandshoeMouse Shift in our range for very long, which is why there are unfortunately no reviews available for it yet.
