Moldable Mouse

It’s still a design concept, but Lite-On promises it could get into your hands sooner than you expect. Looks to me like Lite-on is taking the eco road with this mouse, because it’s made of non-toxic lightweight modeling clay, covered with nylon and polyurethane blend fabric, while the base is made out of 100% recyclable PC/AMS plastic blend and houses the PCB, laser optics and batteries.

Lite-On claims that the mouse body can be molded into any shape a user defines, shapes being is self retaining. OK, you mold the body, but what do you do with the buttons? These, along with the touch sensitive scroll wheel are also stick-on parts which have an integrated RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device). So you can come up with some interesting layouts.
A pretty customizable device, I’d say, but Lite-On is also emphasizing that this design flexibility encourages users to adopt different hand positions which helps to minimize Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
No word on any pricing, but my guess is it will be quite cheap, as you can’t compare it with a gaming-grade mouse.
