Bizarre New Computer Mouse Designs Aim to Cut Wrist Injuries, Scientists Say

Researchers have developed two unusual computer mouse prototypes — a squeezable mesh “Fleximouse” and a vertical A-frame model. Both aim to reduce repetitive wrist strain and discomfort that traditional rigid mouse designs often cause. Early tests showed reduced wrist repositioning, though comfort varied. Scientists suggest that adjustable, personalized mice could become the norm, much like clothing sizes.
