Fantastic Industrial Design Student Work: A Custom-Fit Computer Mouse Made with Less Plastic
love it! what a great idea.
Didn't know leather is more sustainable than good ol' recyclable ABS. It's an interesting solution but seems a bit like a short term one that is potentially worse than the problem itself... with the amount of wear computer mice take I can only see this as a disposable one if I think of how nice and soft leather shoes fit after a few months of daily use (and I don't even wear leather shoes as often as I use a mouse)
Great design. Really, it's similar in idea to Microsoft's Arc mouse that folds flat, but much more elegant. I'd love to see an upright wedge design for ergonomics.
Using a leather mouse sounds so much more comfortable. Like a nice Brooks bike saddle, the mouse could wear with you. I'm not sure how the button action would feel, but I'd love to try one.
