The conceptual 'Ball Mouse' has been designed by Osay Imarhiagbe as a modern take on the classic computer peripheral that would work to support the complex needs of users on a daily basis. The mouse maintains a spherical aesthetic that can be used by users with either a right or left dominant hand and is perfect for those who like to clench their peripheral as they work. This could help to alleviate some of the stress associated with working on their terminal by helping to address the inherent reaction to clench up when working on a lengthy or complex project.
The conceptual 'Ball Mouse' is conceptualized in several color options and would be well-suited for use by a wide range of users including everyone from students to digital professionals.
