The Mouse I Would Like to Have

The OM wireless optical mouse is a flat surface the size of a hand, only 10 millimeter thick at its highest point. In theory, it makes your hand relax. In the practice, it's a very cool concept.
Apparently, most of the hand strain comes from the sides of current mouses. Buy getting rid of them, the OM would solve this problem, the designer says. Whatever. I just think it looks great.

  7. Hm... lack of grip might be a problem for this mouse. Mouses generally have a concave shape for a comfortable fit around the hand.

  13. I'm not sure. I would have to use it to see if I would like it, but the flat design seems like it may be an issue in gaming and moving the mouse alot...

  17. I don't know, I can kind of see this working. I have some minor repetitive motion damage in my right arm, and while I do everything I can to alleviate it (using a stylus and tablet instead of a mouse, switching hands, wearing a brace) the stylus isn't great for everything and a redesigned mouse is a great idea.

  18. Looks good for casual use, but for gaming, I can see the mouse slipping out of your hand a lot.
