Microsoft's new Optic Mouse

Postby Kotik on Wed Sep 01, 2004 9:04 pm

Microsoft’s new mouse… The new Optic Mouse

Image
Microsoft has always been providing us with products that have been making computing much easier. That includes both software and hardware products. But now, for the first time, Microsoft has taken another step into the world of hardware. Unlike their earlier simple mouses they have now changed mouse from just a tool, to a piece of art and the it mouse is designed by Starck. Starck is a world famous designing company that has won many awards for their superb and dazzling designs.

But the mouse in not a bimbo. So to say, a simple show piece. This mouse has the latest that a mouse can have too. Its efficient and smooth. But most the important thing about Optic mouse is that it works on almost any surface, including rough carpet surfaces.

I've seen that mouse, it's really cool. I love the looks, and besides the looks that are visible now, the scroll wheel glows as well :D

Philippe Starck has done some great works, he's also responsible for the Museum of Groningen (Netherlands).

Kvind dat museum niet echt super... mij een beetje te flashy ;)

I like the mouse though. I really think the scroller glows, but if it doesn't, someone else beat them to it :lol: I've seen a mouse just like it, with a glowing scroll button, so it's either this one, or someone was a bit quicker designing a mouse just like it :)

It kind of has the shape of an Apple mouse. I'm not sure of those, they don't seem to be that comfortable...

Well I have not personally used or seen the mouse but according to what I have heard and read, it is not only just cool. Its very precise, comfortable and effecient. Everything a mouse needs to have.
