A Study on The Characteristics of Computer Mouse Used By Vietnamese University Students in Academic and Research Activities

This study was conducted to evaluate the compatibility between computer mouse size and hand size of university students in Vietnam. Three popular types of computer mice on the market were selected for analysis, with the participation of 200 students in the survey and measurement process. The research results show that the type of computer mice preferred by Vietnamese students are medium-sized Logitech mice with a price range from 100,000 to 500,000 VND. They often have the habit of using the mouse for an average of 3 to 5 hours per day; following the Claw Grip posture on mice with a slightly symmetrical design and a height that fits the palm. The hands of male and female Vietnamese students have an average length of 16.4 – 17.8 cm and an average width of 6.9 – 7.5 cm. With such hand dimensions, mice with a length ranging from 10 to 11.5 cm would be suitable.
