Tired of the ordinary mouse, I think the mouse on the market is basically the same! Maybe you can take a look at this model called gStick mouse. gStick is totally different from an ordinary mouse. Its shape is cylindrical, just like our usual pen. Holding this mouse is like holding a pen.
You can use the mouse on your desktop, notebook, glass or even clothes. You may wonder how this pen shaped mouse works?
In fact, there is a scrollable ball at the head of the gStick pen. The ball rolls through friction with paper, desktop, etc., so that the computer can recognize the position of the mouse.
Since it is a mouse, it certainly cannot lack the function of left and right buttons and scroll wheel. GStick provides the left and right mouse buttons where we hold them with our fingers, and also provides a scroll wheel in the middle. You can try to hold the ordinary pen on the table and feel comfortable.
The designers of gStick said that they had the idea of making this mouse in 2009. At that time, they established the prototype, then spent six months to find the manufacturer, and then spent a year to develop and manufacture this product. However, the final manufacturer said that they could not complete this design. As a result, they went on to find another manufacturer who could help them complete the design and had eight years of mouse production experience. Now they are They started to raise funds and start their sample production.

Some people say that the pen like mouse is more natural and intuitive to use. I'm not sure whether it really conforms to ergonomics, but I'm very sure it is more intuitive. When I think of my mother's generation, they always think that the mouse is strange to use, but asked her to pick up a pen like mouse, a pen like mouse, I believe she will be more receptive.
Of course, this mouse is not specially designed for the elderly. I believe designers will also like it. After all, doing so will give you a more realistic feeling of drawing on paper. Finally, what will this mouse do for gamers? Is it suitable to play with a pen? Maybe I have to try before I know.
