Ergonomics for everyone
Large households, permanent workstations in public spaces such as schools, universities, libraries, official institutions – but also in flexible workspaces in offices – have one thing in common. Ergonomic working is often hard to find. The available computer tools simply cannot be personalised. The R-Go Waver is a vertical computer mouse that allows both right- and left-handed users to work ergonomically with a simple movement.
A mouse to share
The convex, upright shape of the Waver offers maximum support. This allows for healthy mouse use, with a straight wrist that does not impede blood flow to the hand. Because the curvature can be adjusted 180° using a patented, easy-to-operate rotating system, the Waver can offer optimal support to both right- and left-handed users. This ergonomic mouse is designed to be shared. Ergonomic mouse use is guaranteed for the largest possible group of users.
Crowdfunding
To accelerate the realisation of the Waver mouse, R-Go Tools is launching a new crowdfunding project on Kickstarter.com on 31 March 2026. Following on from the success of a previous project in 2023, the Waver can be pre-ordered by anyone for a month with attractive offers and bonuses. If the target amount is reached, the Waver mouse will be available on the market in mid-September 2026.

Not the kind of game I thought I’d care about, honestly. I grabbed Marble Sort when I was sitting in a parking lot way too early for an appointment and wanted something low-commitment. It starts off looking super straightforward. You tap marbles loose from trays at the top, they roll onto this circular conveyor, and you’re trying to feed them into matching color boxes at the bottom until each box is full. Easy enough. Then the game starts making you live with your mistakes. One wrong drop and that marble is just circling the belt, taking up room, waiting to become a problem. That part hooked me fast.
this was actually a really interesting post, i didnt expect to learn this much about something as simple as a mouse but it makes sense when you think about how much we use it daily. the idea behind the waver mouse being ambidextrous is quite useful especially in shared spaces or for people who switch hands sometimes, not many devices actually consider that properly. from what i understand these types of designs are meant to keep things more balanced and reduce strain compared to normal mice, especially with that vertical shape helping wrist position feel more natural over time . i also didnt realise you could literally rotate it and use it both ways, thats actually a smart idea instead…
When many students start searching for “write my assignment” solutions to manage their workload better.
It’s interesting how this design focuses on shared usability, especially in places where multiple people use the same setup daily. I remember working in a campus lab where the mouse always felt awkward depending on who used it last. Having something adaptable like this makes sense, especially when looking for online class help and spending long hours at a desk. Small ergonomic changes really do make a noticeable difference over time.
