A Mouse With a Twist

Some laptop users neglect computer mice, and there’s a good reason for it: at the end of the working day the wrist always aches – if it doesn’t, it must be an artificial one. It’s well-known that we owe these wrist aches to the unnatural horizontal position of the hand holding the mouse which keeps joints strained.

There have been some rather radical suggestions for eliminating tension reflected in a couple of oddly-shaped mice, such as Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000, AirO2bic or Zero Tension Mouse. However, there’s no optimal solution. Or just hasn’t been before.

Lite-On Technology has introduced the concept of a new Moldable Mouse made from special non-toxic clay: it can bend, twist and stretch, it can take any form, but it cannot break. In our today’s world, where all customizable things are welcome, this concept is very likely to be popular. A unique mouse that is shaped to fit your unique hand, and to fit it the way you like it, is something that will probably be a must-have.

However, due to the uncommonness of the material, we can scarcely believe that the mouse will definitely look and function as it is claimed to, so we can only hope that such an innovative concept will not turn into a huge disappointment when the mouse is actually released.
