ABSTRACT:
A mouse for use in association with a computer is disclosed. The mouse comprises a housing having a lower surface and an upper surface with side walls therebetween to define a lower chamber therewithin. The housing includes a peripheral extension wall extending upwardly from the periphery of the housing as an extension of the side walls to define an upper recessed cavity. A membrane having a periphery secured to the upper regions of the extension wall forms the top surface of a primary chamber. The membrane is fabricated of a deformable resilient elastomeric material. A quantity of gel-like fluid within the primary chamber is adapted to change shape of the housing membrane from an initial shape to a custom fit shape conforming substantially with the anatomical contours of a user's hand for enhanced comfort and reduced fatigue during use of the computer mouse, the gel-like fluid retaining the custom fit shape for a substantial period of time following release of the use of the computer mouse and thereafter returning substantially to the initial shape.
