Basically: Mouse Glove.

I was going to buy a cheap wireless mouse, and attack the different pieces to the glove.

For example: You'd touch your pointer-finger to your thumb to left-click, and thumb to pinky to Right-Click.

Rub your pointer-finger over your palm to scroll.

Move your hand (Palm-Down) over a desk or hard surface to move the cursor.


If anyone has any suggestions on where to place the different parts (Clicking, scrolling, etc), It would be much appreciated, as the examples don't seem like they would work very well. And mice have the breadboard thing that I would need to take care of somehow...

And what kind of glove do I use? Size?

the same palm? Because that's pretty hard to do. And use pointer finger and thumb for  left click and middle finger and thumb for left click, it's easier.

Thanks! I'll try to think of somewhere to put the scrolling...

Where do I put the breadboard though? The back of the hand might work.

I made something like this before after making a taser with a glove with a ipod slot and basically it wouldnt work because lazer mouses have a lens without it the scrolling spazzes out

I think that touching fingertips requires too much, especially for gaming.

How about if it only touched a surface, such as a mouse pad?

The index/pinky finger touch to a surface would be left/right click respectively.
Moving the middle and ring finger up and down on a surface would be scrolling, while either individually can have an alternate function.
The thumb could also be an alternate function, or allow for pivoting or rotating.

The clicking thing would seem possible but scrolling like you are thinking would probably require some things that aren't already in a wireless mouse. The only way of scrolling I can see (using only whats in a wireless mouse) would be to mount the scroll wheel somewhere, but it would have to be placed somewhere comfortable (can't really think of any place)

MouseGlove...  Cool.. It would be OK but Not sure how easy it would be to type with it on.
On another note, I have a USB analogue gamepad, (similar to PlayStation 2). How cool would it be to use the
analogue stick to drive the mouse around. Also it may render it useful for those games I have that do NOT accept
the gamepad. (mouse/keyboard only) I lament my inability to achieve this.  Embarrassed
Perhaps even integrating a similar type of analogue stick (replacing optical ... thingy) into the mouseglove would make it truly
convenient. ie. no need for flat non-reflective surface.
