Abstract
Observations, comments and results of short studies indicate that daily production use of a mouse can lead to complaints of cramped hands from gripping the case tightly, and stiff finger movements from operating the button(s), plus soreness of the heel of the hand and wrist from rubbing on the work surface. A series of short studies was conducted to develop and prove out design criteria for a new mouse case design. Based on these results and a cost/performance analysis based on marketing data, a decision was made to produce this mouse design. These studies are briefly described along with the arguments used to make the decision, and a description of the ergonomic tools and features incorporated in this design are presented.
