Operating Instructions

1. Ergonomic Grip

Hold the Penguin Mouse with your hand in a natural handshake position. Your thumb should rest comfortably on the side, and your fingers should drape over the buttons and scroll wheel. This vertical orientation helps maintain a neutral wrist posture.

• Forward/Back Buttons: Located on the side of the mouse (typically for thumb operation). These buttons allow for quick navigation in web browsers or file explorers.
