We’ve just read a really informative and interesting review on the Goldtouch mouse by “ErgonomicInfo.com”.

The author summarised that:

“It’s definitely the best alternative design I’ve used since the Handshoe.”

The review also stated that:

“Ergonomists generally agree that palm-down mousing is bad, but disagree on the best alternative. The most obvious approach, and the one adopted by outright vertical mice such as the Evoluent, is to pull the user’s hand up into a handshake position, 90 degrees from the work surface …

“A different and possibly more sophisticated approach is to compromise between totally flat and vertical. Research indicates that an angle of about 20-30 degrees untwists the wrist acceptably without running into the drawbacks of the vertical design. The Goldtouch uses this alternate approach. The angle is so subtle that many users may never notice it, but they will likely notice the increased comfort and the more “natural” feel of the Goldtouch mouse.”

We recently attended the inaugural Workplace Ergonomics and Productivity (WEP) exhibition and it was great to see so many of our customers there.


Organised by the Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors, WEP offered a selection of seminars and a host of exhibitors.


We showcased a range of products which can provide the best ergonomic computing solutions for you and your clients, whether at a desk or on the move.



We got lots of interest from Assessors and Occupational Therapists asking about our latest equipment and received excellent feedback on the products and Herman Miller chairs on display.


If you missed us ... and would like information on our products, such the new SAYL chair, please call us on 023 8029 4500 or email info@keytools.co.uk

Hollywood recently arrived at Keytools as we celebrated our 22nd Birthday.

To add some glamour to the occasion staff members dressed up as famous Hollywood movie characters in aid of our continued fundraising support for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The Joker and Zorro switched careers to become your Account Managers for the day, whilst Danny Zuko and Captain Jack Sparrow graced us with their charismatic presence.

However, it was left up to James Bond and Mr Pink to ensure that the free website delivery offered as part of the birthday celebrations, went out the door smoothly.

New research has found that curry could be a new weapon in the fight against Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)!

Scientists at the University of Nottingham and Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich have discovered that curcumin, a member of the ginger family which is found in tumeric, could offer hope for sufferers of tendinitis (including tennis elbow, lateral epicondylitis).

They found that can curcumin be used to suppress biological mechanisms that spark inflammation in tendon diseases. They were, however, keen to highlight that curry is not going to provide a cure, only that it was an important new lead in the fight of these conditions through nutrition. You can read more on The University of Nottingham website.

The Keytools staff don’t need much encouragement to eat more curry, but we’ve now got a legitimate excuse – it’s all in the aid of the battle against RSI.
