Whether it’s scrolling down your favourite blog, ‘jogging’ through video footage like a pro, or zooming another world in a game; the Orbita® Mouse will revolutionize your experience.
Push, squeeze and spin your way to a better navigation experience with the new Orbita Mouse. By rethinking the scroll wheel we’ve been able to ease strain on your hand and give you scrolling control that other mice don’t.
No more 1,2,3 scrolls, page jumps or grabbing the scroll bar to get where you want in a document. With the Orbita you simply rotate continuously until you’ve found what you want.
And it’s not just long documents that become easier to deal with, music and video apps will be a breeze with the ability to turn volume knobs more naturally or jog through video footage like a pro; and what about zooming through Google Earth, a 3D app or a gaming environment without having to stop until you’re ready?
The Orbita Mouse works on the desktop or a mouse pad just like a normal mouse, except that you can spin it and use it an any angle.
The top small white arrow button is the orientation button. Pressing this button while the arrow points forwards on your desktop sets that as the 'up' direction for pointer movement on screen no matter how the mouse is rotated. This only needs to be done once for any particular desk or working environment.
The mouse can be rotated with one finger like a video or audio 'jog wheel' or you can 'flick' it and it will spin freely. You can continuously rotate the mouse this way, unlike with a mouse scroll wheel. Rotating the mouse needs only a very light touch.
Because the mouse can be used at any angle you can also use the buttons at any angle. There is one 'push' button which can be operated from any part of the top of the mouse, and a series of 'squeeze' buttons which also work from any angle to give a 'right click'.
The third 'Jog dimple' button can be used like the dimple on a jog wheel to rotate the mouse. This button can work like the scroll wheel button on a standard mouse or switch to left-right scrolling when pressed.
The Orbita is the world’s first wireless 3-axis mouse. It’s a fully integrated, intuitive control centre that redefines conventional mouse limitations.
A built-in compass calibrates movements in 3 dimensions. The advantages are both intuitive and ergonomic and the efficiency gain is immediately obvious.
The most noticeable change to your conventional Mouse is the replacement of the scroll wheel. The wireless cylindrical shape becomes the basis of this incredible enhancement. Now instead of a vertical (up and down) scrolling, you simply rotate the mouse left or right in a natural dialling action.
Functions that require continues scrolling now avoid the jerking limitations of vertical finger movement.
Navigate your way through large documents, Audio Visual Editing, CAD 3D fly thru’s; Gaming in 3D environments &emdash; just about any action that requires scrolling.
