An ergonomic mouse has a small body that can be gripped in the fingers much like a writing implement or an eraser. A primary switch is located on an angled facet on the top of the mouse. The primary switch is activated by the user's first finger. By locating the primary switch on the angled facet, a user can access the switch without completely pronating the hand. A secondary switch is located on a side of the mouse, and activated by the user's thumb in a pinching motion between the thumb and second finger. The small size of the mouse allows a user to control it with more ease and facility. Due to its small size, an optical sensor is preferably used as the motion sensing mechanism in the mouse. By radically repositioning the secondary switch, the awkward movements used to activate switches in a conventional mouse are eliminated.
