That’s the problem every PC user and Internet freak might face. The weather is hot, your fingers sweat and there it goes… your index finger sticks to the PC mouse or – worst – it slips away. This phenomenon makes it difficult to move the mouse and the cursor where you want to. It might be a bit easy when you work on a document, but it is really nerving when you ‘work’ on Internet, following your internal call to browse, navigate, play and jump from one web site to the next.
It has happened to me many times this summer. I often had the feeling that my right index finger was “longer” or “shorter” or … whatever… and it didn’t fit to the mouse as it used to.
As it is the first summer I have a black wireless mouse, I tend to believe it has something to do with the fact that the mouse is wireless. Or with the material? I didn’t have this problem with a wired mouse, which was white…. Are white mice are easier to domesticate?
I’ll show you all the tricks I’ve used to solved the problem.
This is a normal finger-mouse relationship
Fingers firmly control the mouse
The Tissue-Trick
Couldn’t move neither fingers, nor mouse
The Aluminium Foil – Trick, Part I
Had to concentrate to hold the foil; mouse refused to cooperate
The Aluminium Foil – Trick, Part II
hahaha…you think it could work?
I was thinking the best solution would be a finger ring with a small fan on it. I tried to draw the model for interesting inventors on my MS Paint, but the mouse went on strike! I couldn’t even draw a modest single line!
About the struggling of moving the mouse-tab of a laptop under extreme temperatures, we will talk another time…
