Mouse that relieves stress and RSI in an 'Alien' form!
Gagandeep | Jul 23 2008

Chances are that you have overlooked the most basic device that could possibly cause stress and RSI. What is being referred to is your obligatory mouse. Mizanur Rehman from UK took a more cynical view of this seemingly insignificant device (from stress point of view) and came with a vibrant concept mouse that is described as ‘Alien Mouse.’ Staying true to the name, the Alien Mouse is designed to mould to the user’s hand and thereby prevent RSI and reduce stress. But it does not stop there. It vibrates and relaxes the muscles as one continues the heavy duty clicking. The unconventional design is completely supported by research into ergonomics. The make, too, seeks to further the ergonomic theme. Mizanur wants to create a body that’s composed of soft gel and cellulose, providing support to the critical areas of hand and arm. The frame can be configured by the user especially to this end.


Alien Mouse is composed of several inter-related parts; each with a distinct function to perform. The form draws inspiration from human hand and various parts are connected in much the same way as wrists with palm and figures. The central core pulsates and lends soothing vibrations to the entire aluminum frame. The clicking is taken care of by a ‘cool control’ – a sphere at the top of the arrangement – whose either side needs to be pressed for a desired click. The scrolling and pointer movement is handled by a central joystick; this essentially means no movement of the mouse itself. Using optical infrared, the Alien Mouse further tries to reduce stress caused by constant movement of hand. However, there’s nothing alien about the connectivity and the concept lends to USB 2.0 and wireless connection.

There are several foreseeable problems with the structure and design of the mouse. But that could all be forgiven considering this is basically an initial concept and probably not followed through in detail. Still several of us would prefer an immediate commercialization if only for the distinctiveness and amazing aesthetics that Alien Mouse brings to the table.

If nothing else this looks like a pretty cool desk ornament

whew, its too complicated to me, but it is surely a great idea

That is so cool... I am getting one of those.

This is a great design that will help the office worker to lessen stress by using computers the whole day. It is so nice to know that Mizanur work for this. As a blogger I wanted to have this for convenient and less stressful work. A lot of people who need financial help would benefit greatly from a payday loan. If you have a sudden financial need that can’t wait until payday, a payday loan can be the help from a mouse click you want and need. If you have long-term financial problems, a payday loan is probably not the thing you need. In that case, you should probably get serious about a budget right away, and start talking to a financial adviser.

does reflexology has to do with it?
very stylish and it looks comfortable to use.
