Re-posting my reply as an actual reply in case you don't see my top level comment: Thanks! Using touch sensors that detect when you lift your fingers is an interesting idea. I bet it would be more difficult than buttons. Maybe version 2? :-)

Surely the simplest solution is just to use microswitches that are lightly sprung, so that the weight of the finger is enough to hold them down. There are probably some that would work as drop in replacements in already existing mice.

  Do you have any ideas about how to handle taking your hand off the mouse?

    How about yet another lightly sprung microswitch, this time attached to the plastic casing?

      That's in interesting idea. I'd have to try it out to see how well it works.
