Abstract: A mouse is provided with function buttons being aligned back and forth on its surface. Thus, the width is narrower than in a general mouse to make the mouse slim. Furthermore, the back-and-forth function buttons can be pressed by a finger tip put on the upper surface of the mouse to operate the mouse.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved optical device for optical mouse, being installed inside the case body of the optical mouse, comprising: a LED, a lens mount, a sensor and a digital signal processor. That is, instead of using the LED, the LED assembly clip, the positioning holes and the lens mount, which are separated from and independent to one another, for fixing the LED inside the optical mouse, the present invention uses a combined device featuring fool-proof, and positioning-insetting-all-in-one concept can place the LED precisely at the first lens of the lens mount and is capable of installing the LED accurately onto the lens mount and the same time rapidly and effectively adjusting and fixing the relative angle and position as seen in FIG. 6 between the lens mount and the LED. Moreover, the combined device is easy to positioned such that the forgoing shortcomings of high manufacturing cost and difficult to mass-produced are avoided.

Abstract: A computer mouse cover provides a grip for a computer mouse. The computer mouse has a top, a bottom and a peripheral side wall. The peripheral edge including a rounded end opposite of an end has actuators thereon. The cover includes a panel having a shape and size adapted for covering the top of the mouse from the rounded end to the actuators. The panel has a pair of side edges and an end edge. A perimeter wall is attached to and extends downward from the side edges and the end edge. The perimeter wall is adapted for frictionally engaging the peripheral side wall of the mouse. A badge having indicia thereon is positioned in a depression extending into an outer surface of the panel.

Abstract: Various x-y input devices are disclosed that are adapted to allow a user to hold and operate the input device with a stress-reducing, open grip posture with the thumb pointing forward and on top of the device. One preferred embodiment discloses an input device for a computer comprising an x-y input sensor (such as a touchpad) positioned perpendicular to the thumb such that the user provides input with the thumb tip by using pivotal movement of the thumb. Various stress-reducing zero force touch switches are disclosed including zero force touch switches that can be adjusted to accommodate variations in user finger length. The mode of x-y cursor control can be altered through the use of x-y input sensor perimeter inputs. One preferred embodiment discloses a thumb actuated scroll select touch switch that alters the response to actuation of the finger actuated zero force touch switches from mouse button input to scroll wheel input.

Abstract: The ultra ergonomic computer mouse includes an angled grip-rod which, when held and placed in the correct manner, supports and influences all the fingers and the hand to be in a naturally curved position. It also includes a contoured and grooved rubber foundation, which is shaped in such a way that the hand holding this mouse is put in a natural position and is greatly supported In this way, the user of this mouse would not be required to twist or in some way contort the hand, wrist, or forearm Therefore, the ultra ergonomic mouse especially prevents and/or reduces fatigue, discomfort, and pain despite continuous use over long periods of time.
