A mouse you can operate with your leg, so you can have both your hands on keyboard. This will provide some exercise to your leg while you are working, like wag your legs to make page up/page down.

I think thats really cool, you can have a toe pad where you place your heel in a comfortable hold and use your toe on the pad in much the same way as you would use your finger on a laptop.
It dosent require you to move your whole leg and like you said with your hands always on the keyboard, will surely save you time , add more comfort and give exercise to the feet, especially for those who sit long hrs in front of the comp ;-D ;-D ;-D
A great Idea ! ;-D

The aforementioned device has it's own site, as well, at:

The best avenue for finding more information on this sort of thing would be to investigate assistive technology: technology that enables people with disabilities. Occupational and physical therapists, AT practitioners, special educators, etc. have been hacking together solutions like this for a long time, and a few eventually come to market.

On the other hand, when designing and distributing such things, please always remember people with disabilities. Some people may benefit more than you can imagine from your ideas and designs.
