At this point, most of us take the common computer peripherals like mice and keyboards for granted. They're just always there. Ever wonder how one of these things gets made, from start to finish? Well, Scoble was curious so he asked Erik von Fuchs of the Microsoft Hardware Lab to tell and show us all about it.

In this clip, Erik takes us through the stages of mouse design and leads us on a tour of the industrial design lab.

Enjoy.

Hi,

I have the model 1027 that was mentioned a lot in the video and have some feedback.

1. Never used the shortcut buttons i.e calc as there to far to the left.

2. Why is the zoom thing so big.

3. The mouse that come with the keyboard ctl093lpd0169 is nice but to fat.

4.  good point love the wrist support.

5. Is there any way to protect the letters on the keyboard as mine wear of so quickly.
