"As simple as it might sound, getting a wireless mouse design right is not a simple task. The number of variables involved due to hand shapes, finger sizes, and the preferred hand for operating the accessory makes it impossible to design a mouse that suits all."
"Then the next step was to choose from the more popular flat design for simplicity and the more radical vertical design for wrist support. After much contemplation, the vertical configuration turned out to be the one that creates a balance between ergonomics and the primary requirement of the accessory to be ambidextrous."
"the final mouse design achieved the perfect blend of ergonomic grip and the underlying functionality provided by the optimally placed click buttons. If you look closely, the ergonomic design of the interaction surface is done with an arched pill shape that gradually transforms into an off-centre ellipse. The flared-up section is the resting position of the thumb for comfort. Another subtle element that adds tactile sensation is the wave texture that extends to the front, indicating the position of the index finger scroll sensors."
The OLOID is a wireless ambidextrous vertical mouse designed to balance ergonomics and universal usability. Designers disassembled popular mice to find functional gaps and prioritized a vertical orientation for wrist support while maintaining ambidexterity. The interaction surface follows an arched pill shape that shifts into an off-centre ellipse, with a flared thumb rest and a wave texture guiding the index finger scroll sensors. Click buttons are positioned for ergonomic grip. Built-in sensors automatically detect right- or left-handed use, activate the corresponding electronics, and trigger a top indicator LED. Multiple mockups and clay models refined the final form and functionality.
