Clip Mouse: German developers introduce new computer mouse that is attached on fingers

German developers presented the Clip Mouse computer mouse, which is placed on human fingers and works without the need for direct contact with the surface under the palm.

Clip Mouse is attached to the index finger and middle finger. Thanks to the built-in accelerometer, once the user imitates the actions of working with a normal mouse, the Clip Mouse quickly understands what movements are made and transmits the appropriate instructions to the computer via Bluetooth.

The bottom of the mouse is touch sensitive, allowing to simulate the action of clicking the left or right buttons. Clip Mouse also remembers the movement of turning the page and it is enough to imitate this movement with your finger, and the mouse will again send the appropriate command to the computer.

When inputting text, the mouse is turned off by pressing the button on the side of the device. The same button is used to bring the cursor to the middle of the screen if needed.

Clip Mouse has a built-in lithium-ion battery. The authors assure that the strange mouse can work up to 50 hours with one charge. A USB port is provided for charging.

The authors published the project on the Kickstarter crowdfunding site in order to attract the necessary funding for the production of the device, which is sold for 59 euros (about 25,000 AMD).
