Wrap Your iMac iPuck In A Full Sized Shell!
Contour Design has announced a new plastic shell that fits around the round iMac and Blue & White G3 mice shipped by Apple. Many users have complained about round mouse, usually saying the mouse is too small for adult hands (it is perfect for kids) and it is difficult to keep it pointing "up." The round mouse has even earned the nickname of "iPuck." Contour Design's UniTrap converts the iPuck into a full sized mouse without the expense of buying a full mouse. According to Contour Design:

The UniTrap transforms your iMac or G3 mouse to a sleek, comfortable, full-sized mouse. It is a three piece snap-on design consisting of one top shell, one bottom shell, and five tasty flavored interchangeable buttons all in one package. It completely encloses the round mouse to give the user maximum comfort and control. In addition, the larger contoured button provides easier clicking.

"One Advantage of the UniTrap is that it does not add additional width to the already wide 3" diameter of the round mouse," said Timothy Donaghy, Director of Marketing for Contour Design, Inc. "The UniTrap design allows the user to remove the sides of the round mouse to minimize the width, prior to placing it into the bottom shell. One piece slip-on shells currently on the market add up to an additional quarter inch to an already wide mouse. We feel many users will find 3.25" is too wide for good comfort and control. For example the standard Apple ADB mouse is only 2.5" at its widest point. Another benefit of the UniTrap is that it allows the user to keep the state-of-the-art mouse mechanism and top of the line switches that Apple uses in their round mouse."
