 New user interfaces could benefit from customized controllers,

-purpose unless standard, mass-produced parts can be used.
-We show how controllers can be built from a standard mouse

+expensive and time-consuming and requires machine shop skills

+We show how novel controllers can be built from a standard mouse
 and Lego bricks, allowing anyone to reproduce the design
 without any tools and to easily prototype new designs.
