Abstract: An ergonomic computer mouse workstation includes a base operable to rest on a surface defining a reference plane having a normal surface axis extending perpendicular thereto and a platform secured to the base. The platform has a work surface operable to support a computer mouse, the work surface being disposed at an angle to the reference plane, the base being moveable relative to the platform to position the work surface at an angular orientation relative to the reference plane, to provide a slope to the work surface. The ergonomic computer mouse workstation may further include a counterbalance for providing a force to the computer mouse to oppose the tendency of the computer mouse to move down the inclined surface.

Abstract: A hand support apparatus has a mechanism for positioning it adjacent a computer input device on a work surface. The apparatus includes a first connector connectable to the computer input device, the hand support itself and a coupler connected between the first connector and the hand support. The coupler couples the first connector to the hand support while permitting extension and retraction of the first connector relative to the hand support, in an operating space adjacent to the hand support.
