Overview
assigned to Simon Yoffe and David Yoffe. The IP relates relates to ergonomic and precision-enhancing computer-mouse technology. Together, the patents focuses on high-precision, user-customizable human-interface devices, merging mechanical feedback and ergonomic adaptability-key for professional, creative, and gaming hardware markets.
US 11,874,973 B2 covers a computer mouse with a retractable resistance tip on its bottom surface. The tip creates controlled friction against the desk to simulate pen-like precision, aiding designers, gamers, and CAD users who need micro-movements.
US 12,436,625 B2 extends the concept to ergonomic adjustability, allowing users to modify the mouse's height, angle, or grip geometry for comfort and reduced strain.
This invention introduces a computer mouse with a retractable tip at its base that creates a physical resistance point against the work surface, enabling high-precision cursor control without sacrificing ergonomic comfort. The resistance mechanism can be engaged manually or electronically, providing users with variable tactile feedback for tasks requiring accuracy-such as CAD, gaming, or digital art.
