This week, we discussed the mouse setup. We were primarily focusing on the keyboard, so we had neglected the mouse design. The mouse will be foot-operated, and the clicks will be on the keyboard.

I proposed looking at larger touchpad peripherals, and placing them on the floor. To ensure that only the more dexterous foot can interact with the keyboard, we proposed that the more functional foot is wearing a sock treated with the cloth that can be used on touchpads, and the other foot is wearing a normal sock. This might cause some problems in hot weather, though. The team accepted that this is a possibility, but we did not finalize the design.

This is the link to the trackpad. This is the largest one we could find, at 6*4 inches.

Once we get the PCB, I want to solder them.
