Claim:
A mouse pad for use with computer peripherals and the like, said mouse pad comprising: a body including planar top and bottom surfaces having a fixed spatial relationship, said body further having a continuous and hollow cavity intercalated between said top and bottom surfaces and extending between opposed end portions of said body; a rotatable flange having a dome shape suitably sized for fitting within a palm of an operator's hand, said flange having a bottom section statically and directly conjoined to said top surface of said body, said flange further having a top section directly and rotatably conjoined to said bottom section wherein the operator can selectively bias said top section of said flange about a vertical axis registered orthogonal to said body, said bottom section having a diameter greater than said top section for supporting said top section upwardly and away from said top surface of said body; means for heating said flange during operating conditions, said heating means being directly connected to said top section of said flange and including a controller directly conjoined to an outer perimeter of said body; and means for oscillating said flange about a horizontal axis registered parallel to said top surface of said body such that said flange tilts side-to-side and against a bottom surface of an operator wrist during operating conditions; wherein said heating means and said oscillating means are independently and simultaneously operable.
