A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11966521B2) describes a battery-operated handheld device with a unique battery holder design. The device features a housing with a front and rear region, accommodating two different-sized batteries in side-by-side slots. The battery holder serves as an adjustable weight distribution mechanism, allowing users to shift the device's center of gravity by choosing between the two batteries. This design enhances user comfort and usability by providing flexibility in weight distribution based on battery choice.

Furthermore, the patent also covers a battery-operated computer mouse with a similar battery holder configuration. The mouse housing includes a rear palm-rest region and a front region, with the battery holder allowing for the insertion of two different-sized batteries. Similar to the handheld device, the battery holder in the mouse serves as an adjustable weight distribution mechanism, enabling users to select the center of gravity by choosing between the two batteries. Additionally, the mouse design includes a cover part with a protrusion acting as a retainer to prevent battery displacement. Overall, these patented innovations aim to enhance user experience by providing customizable weight distribution options in battery-operated handheld devices and computer mice.
