About six months ago I went on a trip, not a nice one, but a real trip when travelling at speed I caught my foot in the handles of my bag on the floor by my table (please don’t do this, you out there)  and hurtled into a wall, breaking my shoulder and snapping my tendons.

Suitably screwed and plated I sat wondering how on earth I was going to type my latest novel for Arrow. Not only was my movement severely restricted but the pain path from the shoulder is down the arm through the wrist and into the fingers. Well, as luck would have it, I had been  sent the Penclic B3 Bluetooth Mouse to try.

As a Luddite the sight of it frightened me to death, because it looked like a joystick, or to be less panicky, a pen. So how would I get on?

It took me a while to break the old habit of grabbing for my mouse and having the  cursor leaping about the screen, but it became natural very quickly, thank heavens. This mouse held my wrist into a comfortable position, and the control was excellent. It’s much like holding a pen and the movement needed is  slight. The control you get though, is huge, and a   complete boon.

As you can see it is a slick design of Swedish origin, incorporating cutting edge technology and as I said it is efficient, with very little movement  needed.

It is practical and I was enormously pleased because it got me back in business. I’m a convert and the family is relieved because it reduced the pain making granny far less grumpy.
