When buying a fingerprint mouse: should the fingerprint reader be placed on top of the mouse or on the side?
For users who need security authentication and pursue efficiency, fingerprint mouse has become the necessary equipment for office. However, when choosing one, many people will be confused: is it better to put the fingerprint reader on top of the mouse or on the side? As a professional wireless fingerprint mouse manufacturer, we will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the two from the practical use point of view.
Characteristics of top-mounted fingerprint reader
The top-mounted fingerprint reader is usually located behind the left mouse button or near the scroll wheel, and this design has several obvious advantages:
▷Natural hand posture: the finger can naturally contact the identification area without special adjustment, reducing wrist twisting
▷Fast identification: the finger has the shortest moving distance from the clicking action to the authentication
▷Visual intuition: it is easy to see the identification area, which is friendly to first-time users
But this design However, this design has limitations, such as the possibility of increasing the chance of false touches, especially for users with larger hands.
Features of side-mounted fingerprint reader
Side-mounted fingerprint recognition is usually located in the area where the mouse thumb is naturally placed, and its advantages include:
▷Ergonomic: the thumb is naturally bent to complete the authentication, which makes it more comfortable for long-time use
▷Reduced misuse: the finger won’t accidentally touch the recognition area during regular clicks
▷Aesthetic simplicity: the mouse design is more simple when viewed from above
However, side-mounted fingerprint recognition may take a short period of time to adapt to and the thumb placement may affect the efficiency of recognition for different people. However, there may be a short adaptation period for side recognition and different people’s thumb placement habits may affect the recognition efficiency.
How to choose the best fingerprint mouse position for you?
The following factors should be considered when choosing the fingerprint recognition position:
▷Frequency of use: High-frequency authentication users may be more suitable for the top-mounted design
▷Hand size: Large-handed users may find the side-mounted recognition more comfortable
▷Working environment: Scenarios that require quick switching of authentication may be suitable for the top-mounted design
Our wireless fingerprint mouse series offers two design options, both of which utilize FIPS certified fingerprint sensors to ensure security and responsiveness. Whichever you choose, the right grip and fingerprint entry method can significantly enhance your experience.
Remember, the best fingerprint mouse is the one that makes you forget it’s authenticating security but seamlessly protects your digital life.
