Have you ever imagined controlling your computer with your thumb, well today is your lucky day. When Douglas Engelbert created the mouse he would never have imagined being able to wear one. Mindstream Inc have a new wearable mouse invention in development and thanks to a very successful indigogo campaign this look like it will become a reality. I introduce to you the Thumbtrack.

We here at bespoken like new inventions and love making life easier. The thumbtrack is a wearable mouse which looks like a ring and you place it on your thumb. One size fits all so you don’t need to worry about ring sizes and measurements. The ring
 is elegant, ergonomic and efficient. This invention enables you to work in comfort at work, traveling or at home. It also eliminates the many injuries and pain suffered by people who work with computers including constant wrist strain. The ring can be worn on either hand and is very easy to use.
