Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0039747A1] A computer mouse trigger device includes a support arm (11) which joins the mouse (1) so as to extend above the upper side of the mouse. The arm is pivotal relative to the mouse and is carried thereby through the medium of spring means. That side of the arm (11) facing towards the mouse carries a shoulder (13) in alignment with a click key (2) on the mouse (1). The spring means of said arm (11) enables the user's index finger (3) and/or middle finger (3') to rest confortably on the upper side of the arm (11) so that a key (2) can be clicked by applying a slight force via the arm (11) and the shoulder (13).
