Abstract

A computer mouse is provided to make the mouse button easily reachable without being susceptible to misclick. The computer mouse may include an electronic circuit configured to implement operations of the computer mouse. The computer mouse may include a housing enclosing the electronic circuit. The housing may include an opening on one side of the housing and a switch on the side of the housing. The computer mouse may include a magnetically active lever attached to the housing through the opening on the side of the housing. The magnetically active lever may be configured to actuate the switch on the side of the housing to interact with the electronic circuit to provide input to a computing device. The magnetically active lever may be removable from the housing and replaced with a magnetically active lever of a different size or shape.
