For this design I was inspired by the idea of a mouse that I would like while using Rhino. I put in the normal left click, right click, and a track instead of the scroll but then I added two buttons farther down that would become a replacement shift key on the left and a control key on the right.

For this project I used rotate, extrude surface, booleandifference, fillet, 2DScale, POn, POff, CurvatureGraph, Trim, Loft, curve, cap planar holes, pipe, as well as a few other commands.

For rendering my piece, I chose to use rough anodized aluminum for most of it and change the colors to different blues while the trackball I used smooth anodized aluminum. I chose these as they would be durable and also because I had a preset palette of blue that I wanted to use and I knew the color was the same as the anodized blue aluminum.
