Revolutionary Ambidextrous Vertical Mouse with Instant Left/Right Switching

The Kinesis DXT Ergonomic Mouse is the only vertical mouse with instant ambidextrous switching—allowing you to toggle between left and right-handed operation with the press of a button, preventing overuse injuries and providing the ergonomic benefits of vertical mouse design for both hands.

Why DXT Mouse Transforms Ergonomic Mousing

• Instant Ambidextrous Switching: Press a button to switch between left and right-handed operation—no software, no reconfiguration, instant transition
• Vertical Handshake Position: 60° vertical angle maintains natural forearm rotation, eliminating wrist pronation that causes carpal tunnel and RSI
• Wired or Wireless Operation: Use as wired USB mouse or switch to wireless mode with included USB receiver—flexibility for any workspace
• Prevents Overuse Injuries: Switch mouse hands throughout the day to distribute workload and prevent repetitive strain in dominant hand
• Precision Optical Tracking: High-resolution optical sensor provides accurate cursor control for detailed work

Clinical Benefits for Wrist Pain & RSI

Traditional mice force wrist pronation (palm-down position) that twists forearm bones and compresses the median nerve—the primary cause of carpal tunnel syndrome and mouse-related RSI. The DXT's vertical design maintains neutral forearm rotation, reducing muscle strain by up to 70%. The unique ambidextrous switching capability allows you to alternate mouse hands, preventing the overuse injuries that occur when one hand performs repetitive motions for hours daily.

Trusted by Medical Professionals

Recommended by occupational therapists, hand surgeons, and ergonomists for preventing and treating mouse-related RSI. The DXT is particularly effective for users experiencing early symptoms of overuse injuries who need to reduce strain on their dominant hand while maintaining productivity.

Who It's Built For

Essential for anyone experiencing wrist pain, forearm strain, carpal tunnel symptoms, or RSI from traditional mouse use. Ideal for office professionals, graphic designers, programmers, CAD operators who spend 4+ hours daily with a mouse. Perfect for ambidextrous users who want to switch hands to prevent overuse, users recovering from hand/wrist injuries who need to use non-dominant hand, or anyone seeking to distribute mouse workload between both hands for injury prevention.

How Ambidextrous Switching Works

Press the dedicated switch button on the mouse—the left and right click buttons instantly reverse function. The mouse shape is symmetrical, so it feels natural in either hand. No software installation, no computer configuration, no waiting—instant transition from right to left hand (or vice versa). This allows you to:

• Prevent Overuse: Switch hands every 2-4 hours to distribute workload
• Injury Recovery: Use non-dominant hand while injured hand heals
• Reduce Fatigue: Alternate hands during marathon work sessions
• Ambidextrous Training: Develop proficiency with both hands

Wired vs. Wireless Operation

Wired Mode: Plug in USB cable for zero-latency connection and no battery concerns. Ideal for precision work, gaming, or users who prefer wired reliability.

Wireless Mode: Insert USB receiver for cable-free operation. Rechargeable battery provides 2+ weeks per charge with typical use. Perfect for clean desk aesthetics and flexible positioning.

Vertical Design Benefits

The 60° vertical angle positions your hand in natural handshake position, eliminating the wrist pronation (twisting) that causes chronic pain in traditional mouse users. This neutral forearm rotation reduces strain on wrist tendons, prevents median nerve compression, and allows comfortable mousing for extended periods without the cumulative trauma that leads to RSI.

Adaptation Period

Most users adapt to vertical mouse positioning within 3-5 days. Start with short sessions (30-60 minutes) and gradually increase usage as your hand adjusts to the natural handshake position. Cursor precision returns to normal within 2-3 days. Pain relief typically begins within the first week of consistent use. When switching to non-dominant hand, expect 1-2 weeks to develop proficiency for general tasks.

Button Programming (Optional)

All 5 buttons are programmable using optional software (Windows/Mac). Assign custom functions, keyboard shortcuts, or macros to any button for enhanced productivity. Works plug-and-play without software for standard mouse functions (left click, right click, scroll, forward, back).

DPI Adjustment for Precision Control

Toggle between 800/1200/1600 DPI settings to match your preference and task requirements. Lower DPI (800) provides precise control for detailed work, higher DPI (1600) allows faster cursor movement for general tasks. Adjust on-the-fly without software.

Why DXT vs. Other Vertical Mice

Choose DXT if you: Want ambidextrous capability, need to switch mouse hands for injury prevention or recovery, prefer wired/wireless flexibility, want to distribute mouse workload between both hands.

Choose Fixed-Hand Vertical Mouse if you: Only use one hand for mousing, prefer hand-specific contouring, don't need ambidextrous switching.

Perfect for Injury Prevention & Recovery

• Prevention: Alternate hands every 2-4 hours to prevent overuse injuries before they start
• Early Symptoms: Reduce strain on affected hand by switching to non-dominant hand
• Recovery: Continue working productively with non-dominant hand while injured hand heals
• Rehabilitation: Gradually reintroduce injured hand by alternating with healthy hand

Maintenance & Care

Wipe mouse surface with slightly damp cloth to remove oils and debris. Clean optical sensor lens periodically for optimal tracking. Charge battery when indicator LED alerts (wireless mode). Durable construction withstands daily use in office environments.
