Whenever I interact with a computer mouse, I barely look at it, I just place my hand on top and begin to use it. I saw this First Year project as an opportunity to change that, to expose the complexity of the inner mechanics, making it a product in its own right rather than one which is purely functional. 

​

Inspiration was derived from Spanish architect Calatrava, his ethos centring around using the structural elements of his buildings as aesthetic features. Designed and produced in CAD, a unique mouse was created whereby the mechanics are celebrated leading to a visually intriguing product. Ergonomically, the shape of the mouse maintains the wrist in a neutral position reducing the risk of RSI whilst highly sensitive clickers aid users with dexterity issues. Made from ABS, this mouse puts a new spin on the typical aesthetic, revealing what is so often hidden, making it stimulating to interact with.
