An adjustable mouse includes a base and a thumb adjustment assembly coupled to the base. The thumb adjustment assembly is configured to move a thumb rest portion between a retracted position and an extended position. The adjustable mouse further may include a palm rest portion hingedly attached to the base by a hinge adjacent an outer edge of the base. The palm rest portion may have several fingers configured to expand in vertical and lateral directions. Embodiments of the adjustable mouse are further disclosed.

Methods and apparatus provide for an adjustable pointing device. The adjustable pointing device includes a base and an adjustable arm connecting a portion of the base with an input control portion. The input control portion includes at least one input control. A first end of the adjustable arm, which is distal from the base, allows for and independently maintains changes to various orientations of the input control portion. In other words, after the user adjusts the input control portion to be set at a new orientation, the first end of the adjustable arm maintains the input control portion at the new orientation as the user interacts with the adjustable pointing device. In addition, a second end of the adjustable arm, proximal to the base, also allows for and independently maintains changes in a distance between the input control portion and the base itself.

An ambidextrous point and click device for a computer work station comprising; a body 1 having an inclined back surface 2 configured for supporting the palm of a user's hand and an upright front surface accessible by the fingers of a user's hand when gripping the device, right click 3 and left click 4 buttons arranged one above the other centrally of the upright front surface, a scroll dial 5 arranged above and in alignment with the right click and left click buttons and a select button encircling the scroll dial.

A method for detecting a user's hand gestures with a handheld controller. The method includes monitoring a first sensor and a second sensor. Each sensor is capable of sensing the presence of the user's thumb. The method further includes sensing the presence of the thumb on the first sensor and then sensing when the thumb is no longer present on the first sensor. A time period is monitored beginning when the thumb is no longer present on the first sensor and ending when the presence of the thumb is sensed on one of the first sensor and the second sensor. Once the time period exceeds a threshold time value, a thumbs-up gesture is registered.

A mouse includes a base and a mouse body. The base has a leaning surface and a bottom surface, an angle is between an extension direction of the leaning surface and the bottom surface, the leaning surface is arranged slantingly with respect to the bottom surface. The mouse body includes a housing. The mouse body is detachably disposed on the leaning surface, the housing leans against the leaning surface, and the mouse body has a first operation mode and a second operation mode. Under the first operation mode, the mouse body is disposed in the base with a first orientation, and under the second operation mode, the mouse body is detached from the leaning surface of the base and rotated to a second orientation and disposed in the base.

The present disclosure provides an ergonomic mouse.Through the synergistic effect of the predetermined angle between the lower side surface of the protrusion and the horizontal reference plane and the thumb groove, the present disclosure converts the force exerted when the user lifts the thumb into stable lever support, fundamentally solving the problem that the mouse is prone to falling off when lifted in a vertical holding state. The design not only significantly improves lifting stability and operation efficiency by optimizing the contact area and pressure distribution but also guides the wrist to maintain a neutral position through a biomechanically compatible angle, greatly reducing wrist deflection and abnormal load on the muscles at the base of the thumb, thereby effectively reducing the risk of muscle strain caused by long-term use. Meanwhile, the interlocking clamping structure of the mouse body and the modular protrusion design jointly ensure the stability and durability of the overall structure.
