Ergonomic soft-feel mouse

Computer mouses are well known in the computer accessory industry. Indeed, there have been many different mouse designs disclosed in industry literature and in the marketplace. One goal of the industry has been to make a mouse that is comfortable for the user. Thus, several ergonomic-type mouses have been designed. For example, there have been mouses that are designed in the shape of the user's hand, mouses that are designed to support both the wrist and the palm, and mouses that have foam pads to make them softer. However, there has never been a mouse that uses a gel layer for supporting the user's palm. A gel is visco-elastic solid exhibiting the properties of both a spring and a dampener. It is illustrated mechanically by connecting the symbol for a spring with that of a dashpot. A new ergonomic soft feel mouse is provided. The soft feel mouse includes a palm rest that is softer and squishier than palm rests of other mouses. The palm rest includes a gel layer that provides the soft and squishy feel. The gel layer can be formed using a liquid gel that is molded. The palm rest may also include a foam layer and/or a film layer.
