I did three main approaches towards a mouse design, focusing (from left to right) on the human hand shape, a single-handed shape, and an ambidextrous shape.
Color + Layout Studies Adobe Photoshop CS5
After the initial sketches, one of the forms were arbitrarily chosen to do further studies with. Besides experimenting with color, button/grip/padding layouts as well as possible parting lines for manufacturing were also explored.
Shape and Form Exploration Rhino
These were a series of quick shape and form iterations done in Rhino. The final form (bottom left corner) was chosen for further refinement.

These were the individual part files for the mouse; the completed 3D printed model was produced directly from these three part files.
