NINEIDEA：如今搜索 “人体工学鼠标”，呈现的产品大多造型扭曲，如同在做瑜伽一般。“人体工学” 本是研究人与产品互动的学科，涵盖诸多变量，然而多数宣称符合人体工学鼠标设计，却仅将重点放在曲面造型上。
设计师马特・巴纳姆设计的这款 Squishy Mouse 则不同，它为 “人体工学” 赋予了新的内涵 —— 以柔软透气的设计，重新诠释了这一概念。
Squishy Mouse 的独到之处，在于从更广阔的视角理解人体工学。诸如舒适的人体工学座椅与合脚的运动鞋，并非仅依靠优美的曲线，还兼具柔软的触感与良好的透气性。Squishy Mouse 遵循这一逻辑，摒弃了 “曲面硬壳即人体工学” 的固有认知。其机身采用弧形网格结构，触感柔软，令人联想到阿迪达斯 AlphaEdge 和 Futurecraft 3D 跑鞋的 3D 打印鞋底。
这种设计不仅是为了贴合手掌形状，更重要的是提升使用的舒适度与透气性。Squishy Mouse 的触感类似减压球，握感扎实却不生硬；网格表面散热性佳，即便连续使用数小时，掌心也不会产生闷热感。在 Squishy Mouse 身上，人体工学终于摆脱了 “造型必须扭曲” 的误区，回归到 “让人使用舒适” 的本质。

Not just surface modeling! Redefine ergonomic mouse design
NINEIDEA: Nowadays, when searching for “ergonomic mouse”, most of the products presented have distorted shapes, resembling someone doing yoga. “Ergonomics” is originally a discipline that studies the interaction between humans and products, covering many variables. However, most products claiming to be ergonomically designed for mice only focus on curved shapes.
The Squishy Mouse designed by designer Matt Barnum is different. It gives a new connotation to “ergonomics” – reinterpreting this concept with a soft and breathable design.
The unique aspect of Squishy Mouse lies in its broader understanding of ergonomics. Products such as comfortable ergonomic chairs and well-fitting sneakers rely not only on elegant curves, but also on a soft touch and good breathability. Following this logic, Squishy Mouse discards the inherent perception that “a curved hard shell is ergonomics”. Its body adopts a curved grid structure, with a soft touch reminiscent of the 3D printed soles of Adidas AlphaEdge and Futurecraft 3D running shoes.
This design is not only intended to fit the shape of the palm, but more importantly, to enhance comfort and breathability during use.
The Squishy Mouse feels similar to a stress ball, with a firm yet not rigid grip; the mesh surface provides excellent heat dissipation, so even after hours of continuous use, the palm won’t feel stuffy. With the Squishy Mouse, ergonomics finally breaks away from the misconception that “the shape must be contorted” and returns to the essence of “making people feel comfortable when using”.
