Abstract The rapid development of science and technology makes the mouse become the most commonly used product life and work, but also the most frequent computer equipment, so users gradually the use of mouse proposed more requirements, including comfortable operation, flexible moving and accurate positioning, operation comfort discomfort the most attention. The fatigue caused by long time and high frequency use of mouse is known as the mouse hand. The disease has exerted adverse effect on people’s life and work. In the paper, based on the experimental data of fatigue of using mouse, in-depth analysis was conducted on the bone and meridian of the arm using traditional mouse as well as the wrist force. On the basis of the man–machine factors, the traditional mouse was improved in the design. Besides, the optimization scheme that could reflect mouse comfort and effectively avoid mouse hand was put forward.

1 Research Objective With the continuous development of the information era, people’s life and work rely more on computer, especially the life, consumption, and entertainment habits of the generation after 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s make computer play an important and indispensable role in this group. As an important interactive tool between people and computer—the mouse is the most popular and the most commonly used product in life. When people frequently click the mouse for a long time due to learning, office, game, online shopping, and other activities, it will produce different degrees of fatigue phenomena, such as fingers, palms, wrists, and even arms, neck and shoulders and other parts will feel weakness, numbness, aching pain, and other symptoms, and this is H.

what we often call “mouse hand.” Although there is no final conclusion whether this disease is carpal tunnel syndrome, it is undeniable that it has become a common occupational disease and will have a certain impact on people’s life and work. Although prevention has a certain effect on this disease, as the most commonly used product by people, the mouse should be maximally suitable for people to use, and therefore it is necessary for us to study the man–machine factor of the mouse so as to use the mouse more comfortably. This paper first states the symptoms and adverse effects of mouse hand to illustrate the significance of comfort of the mouse; then it points out the problems about commonly used mouse existing in its design at present through bone and meridian analysis, and gravity analysis of operation mouse, carries out an in-depth study on the man–machine factors of the mouse, puts forward the optimization scheme to embody the comfort of t
