Any carpal tunnel studies? These all look like they would become painful quickly by the angle the fingers do so much work.

The one that has potential, for me, is SideMouse, but I don't want to see the thing. Keep it out of view, watching what I do on my desk surface without being in the way.

I also like the SideMouse ... it seems like a more intuitive interface than any of the other ones.

The Arty Mouse seems most realistic to me. All the other concepts lack the ability to rest your fingers on something. But it's hard to tell if this is a problem without testing each device for an leghty period of time. Please send me one of each and I'll tell you what I really think. Wink

I liked the FTIR and Capacitive Touch versions the best. The others are cool concepts, but I think they would only be better if you could eliminate the mouse completely (ie for use in cellphones or small devices). Also I would hope that any future mouse would not get rid of some of the very useful features found in current input devices. Scroll wheels are great for fine-grain control of linear values (volume, seeking, scrolling) and can still be used for normal clicking and basic left/right sweeping movements. A jog wheel works great for creating a 3 way button with resistance to prevent accidental triggering. While I could see potential uses for a "multi-touch mouse" I still wouldn't want to give up all of the tried and true functions on my current 11 button mouse Tongue Out

Please don't forget that some of us in this world are left handed and also use the mouse in our left hand. Most of these look like they will work in either hand, but it looks like the Arty Mouse is for right handers.
