Description

Ergonomic Computer Mouse {Ergonomic Computer Mouse}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer mouse, and more particularly, to an ergonomic computer mouse device employing an angle adjusting structure and a noiseless and painless switch for protecting a user's wrist joint.

        A mouse device is a device that is connected to a computer as a computer input device to move the position of a cursor displayed on a screen of a display device, and to select an icon and other functions.

        However, as shown in FIG. 10, the conventional mouse is designed to be used in a state in which the user's hand is disposed horizontally, and therefore, various wrist pain such as wrist constriction and VDT syndrome can occur due to the bending of the wrist joint .

In recent years, various ergonomic mice capable of protecting the wrist as shown in Fig. 11 have been introduced to improve such a conventional mouse.

However, this shape is fixed, and even if the shape is adjusted, it is complicated and has limitations, which may be inappropriate for various hand sizes and shapes of the user, and as a result, there is a limit in improving the user's wrist pain.
