ALTRA RELEASES MICROPOINT MOUSE ALTERNATIVE Altra Set to Release MicroPoint™ Series of MicroPad Controllers

RAWLINS, WY -- Altra, pioneer of intelligent mouse drivers in the ‘80s, is announcing the MicroPoint Series of MicroPad controllers for PC and Mac users. The new pointing device utilizes patented, breakthrough firmware and intelligent software to dramatically improve precision and increase cursor smoothness. The MicroPoint series will be available in August.
“We’ve been able to develop superior intelligent mouse software that gives the user more one-click shortcuts and advanced utility functions,” said Sabin Larsen, Altra vice president of marketing. “In addition, our advanced tracking algorithm dramatically improves precision and sensitivity available to users.” The MicroPoint series improves performance and speed in all applications, including navigating on the Internet, scrolling and highlighting, and editing graphic images. “This unit represents the next generation in pointing devices, combining the comfort of the mouse, the stationary aspect of the trackball, and the intuitiveness of the touchpad or touchscreen,” Larsen said.
Altra’s intelligent software package, AltraPoint, automates common tasks and provides one-click shortcuts to speed the work process and reduce repetitive motion. AltraPoint gives the user more control over the desktop with features such as Window Manager, Button Manager and Precision Window.
Window Manager turns the four corners of the screen into instant-access control points. By pointing to a screen corner it is possible to automatically open, close or switch between active windows, perform document editing functions, jump to default buttons, or execute virtually limitless personalized macros. Button Manager allows each button on the MicroPoint to be programmed to automatically perform preset tasks -- from automatically double-clicking to keyboard command sequences. For pixel-to-pixel precision, AltraPoint software includes a Precision Window that enables users to map the full travel area of the handle to a smaller (user-definable) area of the screen. This is ideal when the user requires more control in a particular section. Precision Windows can be opened in sizes from 4 inches down to 1 inch. For more information about Altra contact Sabin Larsen at (800) 726-6153 or fax (307) 328-1346. Altra is located at 520 W. Cedar Street, Rawlins WY 82301 and can be found on the Internet at http://www.altra.com/welcome/comp.databases.oracle.server
