Abstract
An ergonomic computer mouse for comfortably accommodating a user's foot includes a substantially circular pad having a planar upper surface, a planar lower surface and at least one peripheral edge. Outwardly extending from the peripheral edge are a pair of arms, each having a control button at a distal end that functions as either a 'left' or 'right' button found on a conventional mouse. On the upper surface of the housing are a plurality of peripheral, multidirectional arrows that, when depressed with a foot, move a cursor in a corresponding direction on the screen. Likewise, a centrally disposed zoom button can be manipulated with a foot to enlarge, reduce or scroll through displayed screen content. Accordingly, a user can completely control all typical mouse functions with a foot to prevent wrist and hand stress or injury.
