There are some concept designs that are sometimes too good to be true, such as the Moldable Mouse. The Moldable Mouse concept was created by Lite-On Technology to help people reduce their chances of developing mouse-related injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The idea is so great and much needed today because typical computer mice are hard, and have a one-size-fits-all design that usually leads to wrist injuries.
Created out of modeling clay, the ergonomically sound mouse is covered with a blend of nylon and polyurethane fabric, so it can be easily kneaded into any shape by the user. The shape is self-retaining, so once you've got the perfect shape, you decide exactly where to place the included RFID-equipped click buttons and scroll wheel which can be repositioned anywhere on the mouse. The entire thing is eco-friendly, even the base of the mouse that holds the laser optics, batteries, and a printed circuit board. The clever design won a 2007 Red Dot Design Award, which I hope leads Lite-On to funding and the actual production of this much needed Moldable Mouse.
