Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0145076A1] A cover (10) configured to receive a peripheral computer control device, such as a mouse (12), is described. In one embodiment, the cover (10) covers a top surface of the mouse, except for a window which exposes control mechanisms on the mouse (12) so that a user can directly access and operate the control mechanisms. In an alternative embodiment, the cover may have an ergonomic shape to adjust the shape of the mouse to a more pleasing ergonomic shape.
