Now a mouldable mouse
Sunday, February 03, 2008
The market has been filled with mouses of all shapes and sizes, but some of you must be feeling that still something is missing. Well, thanks to the folks at Lite-On, you'll never have to suffer the debilitating discomfort of an unshapely mouse ever again. The Mouldable Mouse will make all your bad memories of ill-fitting input devices float away, using a lightweight modeling clay combined with a nylon and polyurethane fabric to make up its surface. Once you're palming your new best friend, you can shape its contours to whatever form you desire, though we're pretty sure making a perfect cube will present a challenge. The "stick-on" buttons and scroll-wheel can be added to any location you like, and communicate via RFID (wow!).
It has also won a Red Dot design award. But a big question is on its feasibility. It may get hardened on some initial design which may not be very right as it may require creative skills, or else on other hand it may be too soft and soggy kind. So whatever, the real test will come when it comes to actual users out of lab.
