A hand mouse

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I'd like to suggest an ergonomic mouse design where you have to grip it and close your fingers to get to the buttons, also if you use Teensy USB you can have more buttons and program their functions.

I can't really explain it in text but it will be very interesting to see it become reality and maybe the result will be better than the normal mouse design.

 

For now I'll be expecting the 2nd part of your current build to see your finger solder dispenser.

    That's exactly the problem with the mouse I currently use and it made me think about this. Then I was like "Let's see if this makes sense to people who understand this matter better than me?"

    I've dissected many mice (computer ofcourse) before so I have a descent idea about how they work.

     

    What I've noticed is that active gaming is waering out a mouse very fast (though I've never used a "gaming mouse" I believe they are more durable).

    You may use a arduino micro-Arduino - ArduinoBoardMicro

    or-Digispark DIY: The smallest USB Arduino

    You would want to make as flat as possible and use a 2 axis accelerometer and you could use a potentiometer.
