| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 99 === Since the invention of the computer people dependent on the computer is more important. Now people using of computers is important. The mouse is the most important input devices between human and computer interface. In the past there were many studies related to the mouse use. But no studies about degree of preferred tendency of left-handed mouse users. Therefore, this study is to understand the characteristics of left-handers through the experimental.
This study was change the use of hand, the cursor orientation, button location and eight target positions, impact of left-handers’s total time, reaction time and movement time. There are 11 subjects in this study. The 11 subjects are left-handers. They were divided into three categories. 1. Left hand and negative: the subjects is using mouse by left hand and laterality quotient is negative. 2. Right hand and negative: the subjects is using mouse by right hand and laterality quotient is negative. 3. Right hand and positive: the subjects is using mouse by right hand and laterality quotient is positive. Experimental results show that subject use mouse by preferred hand to have shorter reaction time. Left hand and negative subject’s reaction time shorter than other two category subject significantly. In terms of movement time, left hand and negative subject’s movement time shorter than other two category subject significantly, when they using mouse by left hand.
Contribution of this study is to find the effect of changing cursor orientation and button location is not significant for left-hander. But if left hander will get better Performance when they using mouse by left hand.
