Smart Cat Pro

Features one-touch scroll and zoom, and distinctive sounds for each operation, Programmable software allows you to go from fast on-screen movements to pixel-point control.
Hotlinks: These one-touch zones can be independently programmed to execute programs, open files, control browser functions, assign (toggle) mouse actions or control cursor modes (example Horizontal snap-to-grid). Scroll, Zoom: Quickly activate vertical/horizontal scrolling as well as magnification tools by gliding a finger along the touchpad edges.
Mouse-like features: Right-clicks are accessible by tapping a finger in the touchpad’s upper right corner. A Glide Extend feature makes it easy to keep moving the cursor after you’ve run into the touchpad’s edge. Virtual buttons, sounds, speed, sensitivity and orientation settings can be customized via Cirque’s driver

Reduces arm and wrist movement
Because the Smart Cat PRO touchpad is a stationary device, it doesn’t require you to move it in order to move the cursor – thus reducing arm movement. And since the touchpad can be angled in any direction while moving the cursor, your hand can be aligned straight with your forearm, reducing any wrist bending (ulnar or radial deviation).
Reduces finger fatigue
Touchpads allow clicking by lightly tapping the touchpad surface. The Smart Cat Pro also allows the user to program special ‘tap surface’ areas of the touchpad to perform different clicking actions (4 programmable surface ‘buttons’). With these features, the touchpad can eliminate button clicking altogether, resulting is less finger fatigue due to the increased force necessary to activate normal buttons.
Limits overreaching
Touchpads are both compact and stationary, allowing them to be used in spaces closer to the user and his/her hands than traditional mice. This means that the user has less distance to travel to access the mousing device and does not have to carry the weight of the mousing device to use it. Overall, less travel and less movement will result in less stress on the arms and wrists.
Can be used on left or right side
The ambidextrous nature of touchpads permits them to be used on either the left- or right-hand sides of your keyboard – sometimes they can be used even in the middle!
Can be used at any inclination
Touchpads are solid state devices (i.e. no moving parts) which allows them to be used in a vertical orientation, eliminating pronation of the hand (i.e. instead of using it ‘palm down’ you can use it in a ‘handshake’ position), by attaching it to the edge of your keyboard or other items using velcro or double-sided tape.
