The age when children start using a keyboard and mouse extensively is getting smaller and smaller, and then there are Ninetendo DS contollers and PSP controllers and XBox controllers… the list goes on and on…

Some parents may not realize it, but each of these input devices increases the chance of early RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) among children. We will be revisiting this topic quite often in the future, but let us quickly mention that if your pre-teen child is still using an adult-sized mouse (and keyboard), please add a child-sized mouse that actually fits and feels comfortable in his/her hands at the top of your next shopping list. Of all the mice that we have used with our lab-rats kids, the Logitech Ladybug Kids Optical Mouse stands out so far both in terms of ergonomics and looks.Your kids’ wrists will thank you for it.

We at Kidigit will review and recommend more mice, keyboards and other input devices for kids in the future, so stay tuned by subscribing to our RSS feed.
