Create your own mouse
Knead it into shape
What you need to know about cloud backup
The computer mouse already has had many, many incarnations, including types optimised for gaming, covered with an anti-bacterial coating, VoIP-enabled and even inflatable. Until now though, users have been unable to shape a mouse precisely to the contours of their palm.
Lite-On Technology's Moldable Mouse: whatever shape you want it to be
Enter the Moldable Mouse, a concept created by designers at technology manufacturer Lite-On, that can be kneaded into different shapes. It’s made of lightweight modelling clay and covered in a nylon and polyurethane blend fabric.
Click buttons and a touch-sensitive scroll pad stick onto the mouse and communicate with the unit's host computer by radio. The mouse isn’t just a lump of clay - hidden inside are laser optics, batteries and a printed circuit board.
Its designers claim the Moldable Mouse helps users eliminate the risks associated with traditional hard plastic mice, such as Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
Unfortunately, because the design’s still a concept, no release date or price has been yet hammered out.

Haha, Kopite might have a point!
But, as an RSI sufferer myself I still think it's a marvellous idea & would love to get hold of one. I might have to lock it in a drawer at night to avoid 'humorous' remodelling attempts though!
Can you imagine the office desks?
I can just imagine the salacious filth on display if these were introduced into the office environment!!!
