When a mouse gets influenced by an alien

Ahmad Jamaluddin | Jul 30, 2008

Previously, I wrote about the Steampunk mouse which only Hellboy would have appreciated using. This time around the PC peripheral has gone X-Files. No, it's not for aliens, although it does look weird. Actually, it is designed to fit the critical ergonomics of a human hand, which you can modify to best suit the comfort of your hand by sliding some supporting parts of the mouse up and down. The area of support lies in the wrist, palm and free fingers, which are not required to do anything.

Designed by Mizanur Rehman, the Alien mouse concept is made of soft gel and cellulose, to mold to the shape of your hand for support. Also included in the mouse is a vibrator. Not what you think, the vibrating effects are transmitted throughout the mouse by the aluminum frame to relax the muscles of your hand.

The Alien mouse uses a finger joystick, which is two dimensional to control the cursor in order to reduce the need for unnecessary movement.

In short, this mouse is capable of preventing repetitive strain injury (RSI) and stress on your hand, which normal mice can't.
