It's similar to the Chan-Ooy one, but stronger, with additional acrylic covers so that they would stay in shape. The only difference is that the initial pose of the container would no longer be a flat, rectangular stripe (which wouldn't make a difference anyway since there's no purpose in starting it with that shape), and in order to make 'one' slot, one of the hinges needs to be pulled out. But with 2-4 slots, just rotating the container or flipping it would make it works just fine.

Another important point is, I do not want to put the chan-ooy textures (the coffee one and the one made with dull blade) or the korean clay onto this work. My opinion is that, the textures do not represent the touch pad, since the feeling of touch on textures and the feeling of touch on the touch pad is of a different meaning. To 'touch' the touch pad is to activate its function. To 'touch' on textures is just to feel it on your senses. And in addition to that, for this design, it looks much better without the textures.
I want to imply that, like the touchpad screen which is just a flat surface with just icons on it, 'touching' it would activate its function. It is the same with this one, since when you 'touch' it by rotating and flipping its surface, the shape of the container changes into a usable one [turn into slots by which the mouse could be put in] and thus this is also what it is to 'touch'. I think, to me, this is another interpretation of it.
It is a very good idea to put textures on to represent the touches, it's just that for this design, to me, I like it better without one. I will not put textures onto this design. However, the idea of textures to represent the touch of the touch pad did gave me various ideas, and it really helps me with my project. Without that idea I wouldn't be able to develop this one, so thank you very much!
