Left Handed
Mouse
Computer mice are used every day by millions for work and recreation. Although mice are widely used, most are right handed or ambidextrous, and even fewer are left-handed gaming mice.
In more recent times mice targeted toward gamers have recently begun getting lighter shaving off weight, especially in the shell of the mouse. These types of lightweight mice are virtually nonexistent

Mouse Ergonomics
When designing a left-handed mouse ergonomics is key. This is a study of what curves and shapes make a mouse ergonomic.
Ideation Concepts
Physical Prototyping
Before digital modeling, the mouse was the first model out of clay to test ergonomics.
[The 3D modeling was done in Fusion 360]
Test Fabrication
The design was printed using a 3d printer and then tested for ergonomics. The model on the right needed to be scaled up by 25%.
