Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing the Twiddler 4! Inside the package, you will see the Twiddler and a Twiddler Wrap fit system.

There have been many upgrades to the Twiddler over time. If you have a legacy Fabric strap, click here.

If you purchased just a Wrap for your existing Twiddler, click here for installation instructions.

The Wrap is a removable silicone overmould that incorporates an intuitive fit system. The Wrap is compatible with both left and right hand operation and is available in a wide variety of colors . When selecting which hand to use, keep in mind that most users select their non-dominant hand, leaving their dominant hand free to do other tasks. Select the hand that feels most comfortable for you.

How you hold the Twiddler is a matter of personal preference. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes and shapes. The following guidelines may help you find a comfortable position:

In general, the strap goes around the back part of your hand, between your knuckles and wrist and is permanently attached to the bottom. Do not make the strap too tight. You should adjust the strap so your fingers fall naturally and easily over the center column of keys (the keys with the small guide-bumps on them).

You will notice that your thumb is resting on the top inside corner of the Twiddler. When the strap is adjusted correctly, it is loose enough so that your hand can be removed and re-inserted without detaching the clasp on the strap. Rotating the Twiddler toward or away from your palm adjusts the angle of operation to accommodate longer or shorter fingers; and the angle of the strap on the bottom of the Twiddler can also be adjusted for your comfort.

• Place the Twiddler in your left hand with the Strap unclasped at the top.

• Grip the Twiddler between your thumb and index finger lightly. Your thumb should NOT be at the top of the Twiddler, by the Mouse now, but underneath the top ridge supporting the Twiddler. Your thumb and index finger should make an “O” shape, if they are curled, with the Twiddler inside.

• With the thumb and index finger of your RIGHT hand, grasp the bottom of the Twiddler. You are going to use this hand to fine tune the rotation of the Twiddler.

• Back to your LEFT hand: place all 4 fingers on the right most column. Adjust the rotation of the Twiddler with your right hand to where these 4 fingers feel comfortable.

• Without moving the Twiddler, check if pressing the keys on the remaining columns feel comfortable. If not, adjust accordingly by slightly rotating the Twiddler with your RIGHT hand giving comfort precedence to the right most column.

• Once you have the rotation set, insert the clasp into the closest hole that maintains a comfortable grip; not too loose or too tight. How tight you make it is up to personal preference. Most people prefer a medium fit, not to tight and not to loose. One where you can easily slip your hand in and out of the Twiddler without adjusting the strap.

You can comfortably rest your thumb on the inside corner of the Twiddler, in a relaxed position.

You don't need to grip the Twiddler. By resting the thumb on the inside corner, and applying gentle inward pressure, you will keep the Twiddler steady and reach the keys more easily.
