Analysis of the Effectiveness of an Ergonomic Mouse Pen as a Replacement for Traditional Mice
Traditional mice, due to the frequent use of the index finger and limited wrist support, can easily lead to issues such as “mouse arm syndrome” (RSI), causing harm to users over prolonged periods. In contrast, the mouse pen, designed with ergonomic principles, provides a larger support platform for the arm, reduces muscle tension, distributes force more evenly across the fingers, and retains all the advantages of a pen-like shape. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the ergonomic advantages and disadvantages of traditional mice and mouse pens, concluding that the mouse pen offers greater convenience in use while minimizing harm to the user.
