     For this week's design I was inspired by this mouse. I wanted to create a sleek design with minimal but very functional buttons. Most mouse designs have a very high arched midsection that I did not find appealing. My design has an arch towards the back section but has cut out sections for the thumb to comfortably rest on. Both, left handed and right handed people can use this mouse with ease.

     To create the design I used commands such as BooleanDifference, ExtrudeCrv, Rotate, Loft, Join, Trim Split, BlendSrf, Fillet, PlanarSrf, FilletEdge and more.

     The materials in this design are Polished Aluminum for the body and Matte Paint in the color Jet Black for all the buttons. I wanted the mouse to look as sleek as possible and this aluminum finish did just that. The Jet Black color added great contrast to the bright aluminum material.
