It is common knowledge that long hours spent in front of the computer clutching your mouse could lead to a deluge of health problems, including tendinitis, tenosynovitis, and various repetitive stress disorders. The Hoverstop mouse gets ticked off whenever you spend too much time with it - once your hand is detected as lying idle on the mouse for more than 10 seconds (the lack of clicking and scrolling), it will vibrate gently as a reminder for your to relax your hand. This is an interesting way to take micro breaks throughout the working day that could ultimately result in better health upon retirement.
