Ergonomic mouse where you lift your fingers to click

I've developed a mouse where I click by lifting my fingers instead of pressing them down. I've found that this helps with my RSI and I'm running an Indiegogo campaign (like Kickstarter) to see if others are interested in me doing a production run. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea! http://igg.me/p/173482?a=881199

In plain words

This ergonomic mouse uses an upward finger lift motion for clicking instead of downward pressing. The creator designed it to reduce strain associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) and is seeking support through crowdfunding to determine whether to move forward with production. It targets users experiencing discomfort from traditional mouse use.
