Abstract
Given that computers, tablets and smartphones have become popular devices in daily life in the era of advanced computer technology, this study focused on computer mouse products that best fit product patterns and experimental display sizes. Firstly, this study used the psychological testing method with five patterns to investigate and compare the preferences of patterns of computer mouse products in terms of psychological preferences and preferences on commercial technology products, in the aim to analyze semantic differences, as well as to conduct statistical research for obtaining the best results. Secondly, this study focuses on finding the best practices by design patterns and display sizes. Finally, this study used the Likert scale for statistics and analysis. For the experimental results, it indicates that the patterns of the computer mouse are based on a simple design that satisfies preferences of most users, while the iPad Pro with the largest screen shows data with the optimum size for viewing, and iPhone 7 Plus has the smallest touch screen which is not easy to use. In terms of data display, colors and patterns are seen more clearly with larger touch screens.
