Levitating Wireless Mouse Could Help Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

View Photo Gallery

Vadim Kibardin of Kibardin Design designed this levitating wireless computer mouse that would help prevent and treat the contemporary disease Carpal Tunnel syndrome. For people who spend a lot of time on a computer (like me!), Carpal Tunnel syndrome is always a risk.

The mouse consists of a mouse pad base and floating mouse with magnet ring.

He is still in the research and testing phase of this design so it is not yet available for sale. I’m interested to see what he discovers.

Unless the surface on which the base is placed (and by extension the keyboard) is much lower than one holding a typical mouse, all I see is trading one problem for another — cramped shoulders. Then there’s the need to situate the lowered monitor to a comfortable eye level.

That said, we’d like to see this invention succeed.
