Product Review: NaturalPoint- The SmartNAV hands free computer mouse
2007-09-09 22:38:00 This product proves that if you have a problem, there is probably a solution out there for you... you just need to find it! If you work on the computer, if you recreationally use a computer but have trouble maneuvering the mouse, or if you get hand fatigue or pain by using the mouse- this product is for you. For many people who are living with chronic pain or disability, the computer not only becomes a main source of income, but for vital socialization as well.
