CM-500MOUSE

By Salleh Jahaf

Ideations

• Here are my 17 ideation drawings. The design that I was most interested in were the mice with the slender tails.

Basic research

• These are drawings I drew of a basic dell computer mouse. The shape of the mouse is simple and the mouse executes basic functions.

Research

• These are drawings of the more advanced g5 laser mouse I researched on the internet along with the real photos. The mouse was designed with ergonomics in mind.

Research

• These are drawings of the logitech mx revolution mouse. This mouse gave me the idea of adding the left thumb rest to my mouse.

Developed ideation-form

• The form of my mouse was based on the ergonomics of the hand. There is a thumb rest on the left side of the mouse. On the right side, there are grooves for the index and pinky fingers.

Developed ideation-function

• The mouse has the traditional left click and right click buttons along with a scroll wheel. There are also pre-programmable up/down buttons where the thumb rests.

PRE-PROGRAMMABLE

Process of 3d modeling

• I am creating the structure of the mouse on rhino.

• In the second picture, I created a surface and the rest of the body.

The skeleton is made up of semi-circles.

Final design-wireframe display

• This is my final design in wireframe display.

Details

• Here is a close-up of the up and down buttons.

• This picture shows how the arrows are elevated so you can feel which button you are pushing.

details

• I decided to add a label to the mouse on the front. The label is polished metal with a gold finish.

Final renderings

• This is how my mouse turned out.

• It’s not an exact replica of the mouse I drew, but close enough.
