BREAK THE MOUSE HABIT

BREAK THE MOUSE HABIT - The computer mouse was invented over 40 years ago and it hasn't changed much since. You still have to drag it on a desk top just like the inventor did back in 1968. The Rolee Polee is a very innovative way to control your computer. It combines the best features of a trackball and a mouse to allow you to kick back in your chair or in bed with your laptop and surf the web or do whatever you do with your computer.

How a Trackball works

Above is a diagram of how a trackball works

How a trackball works - Basically the trackball rolls against a trackball roller which then turns a slotted chopper wheel which is scanned by an optical sensor which converts your movement into digital information which is then sent to your computer via a USB connection.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Debate

The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Debate - Genetic or Work Related?
Contrary to popular belief, many experts say that the main cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is Genetics. They conclude that although work conditions can make CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome) worse, they say it's not the root cause of the problem. I think most people label all wrist related injuries as CTS, however, that may not be the case. In any regard, does it really matter if you have CTS or just some other type of wrist injury? Pain is pain no matter what you call it.

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Well basically, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or CTS (sometimes called median neuropathy at the wrist) is a medical condition where a nerve called the median nerve is pinched inside the wrist. This can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness in the hand. Notice that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects the hand not the wrist. This is why there is a distinction between Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, repetitive motion wrist pain, or work related wrist injury.

What is your view on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Do you believe it is genetic, work related, or a combination of the two?

Trackball Rollers

Above photo shows 2 different types of trackball rollers with a green trackball sitting in the background.

What is a Trackball Roller?

A trackball roller is mechanical component typically made of rubber or a rubber like plastic compound. The Rolee Polee trackball has a new white or light gray colored trackball. A good trackball roller will have two important features. It will have good grip or traction. The other important feature is that it is durable and has a long tread life. In many ways a good trackball is like a good automotive tire. See close up photo of trackball rollers



How to clean a trackball. Basically, you just remove the trackball ring and trackball and clean the little rollers very carefully. You can use a finger nail if you've got them to scrap off any lint or dust that accumulates on the rollers. You can also use a small flat tip screw driver, but be very gentle. You don't want to mess up the trackball rollers. Finally, when you are done scrapping and the rollers look nice and clean, take a can of compressed air and blow out the whole trackball assembly.

Below are a couple of how to clean your computer mouse. They demonstrate how to clean a "ball mouse", which is like an upside-down trackball.

Rolee Polee mouse thingy

Above is photo of a cute little rolee polee bug with a Rolee Polee handheld trackball in the background.

Welcome to the Rolee Polee blog. This is the very first post of the new Rolee Polee blog. The Rolee Polee trackball mouse was named "Rolee Polee" after those cute little bugs that curl up with you touch them. The Rolee Polee mouse has nice rounded corners like the rolee polee bug and it has a trackball that "rolls". Therefore, we thought the name "Rolee Polee" was well suited to this unique product. If you want to see more rolee polee bug photos, click here or here.

Super Rolee Polee - Check out the following video. It shows a massive super rolee polee bug. I've never seen a rolee polee that big. I wish we had them that big over here then we could fry em up like shrimp. Technically they are isopods which are in the same family as shrimp.

Above video shows a massive rolee polee creature. Very cool.
