Research Topic 102 / 200
Extra mouse buttons are easy to press accidentally
Side buttons overlap with grip support areas, causing users to trigger unintended functions while moving the mouse.
Three-step solution method
- Map pressure points and finger movement across different grips.
- Refine button zoning, guard features and function mapping.
- Test intentional versus accidental activation during real office tasks.
Key Deliverables
- Grip Pressure Map
- Button Prototype
- Mapping Recommendations
Verification Approach
Weigh accidental-press frequency against ease of reaching common functions.
