Abstract
An ergonomic support is disclosed for use with a computer input device such as a mouse. Some embodiments allow the same support to be used with a wide range of mouse sizes. Some embodiments allow a user to make a customized fit between the user's hand, the support and the input device. Many embodiments include a deformable member which continues to apply force to the input device after being deformed by a user, thereby coupling the support to the input device without the need for external fasteners. In other embodiments, an attachment member couples the input device to a recessed area of the support.
