Toe Mouse - Mouse Concept for Fingers of Legs

Designer Liu Yi presented unusual concept of computer mouse under the name Toe Mouse. But it is not simply advanced or modified variant of usual manipulator, it is a leg mouse. It should be placed on the floor and controlled by fingers of leg. Generally this mouse is intended first (at least Liu Yi designed her exactly for this aim) of all to the people with the limited capabilities. But in appearance it looks as a simply compact and original designer mouse.

The author of concept suggests to use modern materials like the plastic of soft touch, impedimental to sliding to create this mouse, and of course off-wire and easily responding to the cliques of the buttons. According to him, for inspiration he used different sea creatures - martinets with their "beatings tails" and aquatic motor-cyclists.
