Design of Internal Mechanism for Adjustable Computer Mouse Operated using Single Control Input

Abstract

The large amount of control operations provided in adjusting the shape of currently available adjustable computer mice leads to redundancy and confusion in the mind of the users as they have to adjust all dimensions separately in most cases while the fact being that an increase (or decrease) in one dimension of the human hand leads to an increase (or decrease) in all the dimensions. Hence the work has been concentrated on the development of a mechanism to be planted inside a computer mouse which can simultaneously increase or decrease all dimensions of the mouse proportionately based on a single control input. Finally an adjustable computer mouse has been designed based on the mechanism developed.
