A fist-grip computer mouse.

“My hand hurts. Well, numb, actually.

After years of working a desk job, my hand has become… allergic… to the shape of a traditional computer mouse. I’ve tried various “ergonomic mice”, but they all seemed nothing more than a sideways version of the same open-hand, outstretched-finger position.

If my hand was fatigued from repetitive use in the same, outstretched position, what might feel more comfortable? Well, the opposite position, of course…”

- Luke (the guy who made it)

Something Thumby

Oli v1 was designed for use in a closed-fist position. It utilizes finger muscles unique to those of a traditional mouse. In particular, left click is operated using the inner side of the thumb, while middle click is triggered with an upward lift of the thumb. The right click button, which is rotationally offset from the left click above, sits where the index finger naturally rests.

The grip-stick is angled for wrist comfort, while the base is contoured for gentle hand and wrist support.

Tilt-Shift Layer

An additional feature of the Oli v1 is it’s unique “tilt-shift layer”. While the mouse is tilted >45 degrees in any direction, left click becomes “scroll up”, right click becomes “scroll down”, and the middle click becomes a customizable, user-defined function.

No more repetitive motion of the scroll wheel. Just tilt, click, hold.

Development Kit

*Initial release of the Oli v1 is geared for development and research purposes. The “dev kit” is designed for hobbyists, tinkerers, and engineers who’d like to begin testing and utilizing the device prior to certification and official release.

Community building is a central focus of the initial dev kit release. Oli v1 is intended to be an open source, community project. We believe successful projects are often attributable to the support of enthusiastic communities, and we’d be remiss to ignore such crucial input*
