ABSTRACT:
Determining by a computer mouse the pressure that an operator uses to grip the mouse and to actuate switches on the mouse and alerting the operator by the mouse if the pressure is excessive. This monitoring and alerting gives the operator immediate and consistent feedback on misuse of the mouse. In a first embodiment, the computer mouse alerts the operator to excessive pressure by means of an audio alarm. In the second embodiment, the computer mouse transmits the pressure information to a connected computer. The computer can alert the operator with an audio message or alert the operator by displaying the alerting information on a display screen of the computer.
