Gadgets and just Gadgets

We have little choice but to take Joey Roth’s word for it, but we’ve got our reservations about this one. The so-called Felt Mouse forgoes the typical dome shape that most mice made this millennium share in favor of a totally blockish — and likely uncomfortable — design. Conceptually, at least, the critter is indeed wireless, and while you will notice a right and left click, you can forget about finding one of those fancy “scroll wheel” contraptions. The unit will apparently conform to your hand when you grab hold.

This wireless mouse is made from natural wool felt and laminated bamboo ply. The felt’s softness and playability makes the mouse comfortable without looking “cartoonishly” ergonomic. The button layout follows the golden rectangle.

I appreciate his thoughtful approach towards materials and the theory of 3/4 design, the brick design just makes my palm ache looking at it.
