Mouse For Men：男人的鼠标

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：Mouse For Men：男人的鼠标

印度设计师 Nitin Mane 为LG cube Competition 2010 设计的概念鼠标“男人专用鼠标（Mouse For Men）”，从外形看来，是不是更象是一只小老鼠？

Mouse For Men 表面采用了曲线形OLED 触摸屏，通过点击触摸屏就可以实现鼠标操控。

同时，Mouse For Men 鼠标内置热传感器，可以提醒你使用鼠标的时间是否太长。该鼠标支持无线，鼠标线采用了分离式设计（鼠标线也许只是为了看上去更象老鼠）。

可能是设计者考虑到操控这样的鼠标对于女性来讲略显复杂，所以才命名为Mouse for Men。

有时候，命名是个学问，因为很容易让人无限遐想却看到后有种无法言传的失望。

还有些英文介绍，太长了——

The concept

Developed for LG Cube Competition 2010, the “Mouse for Men” by Indian designer Nitin Mane is a mouse concept with a flexible touchscreen and pressure sensitive technology to enhance the experience of modern geeks. Inspired by the original mouse, the new mouse includes a separable tail for the ease of use. Based on the design and position of the human hand to enhance the comfort, the futuristic mouse seems to place buttons in opposite directions, though they work like contemporary mice.

The shift

In the recent past we have marked a great shift in the form and function of electronic gadgets, thanks to latest design techniques and innovations in technology. The wireless optical mouse is the latest PC accessory that eliminating internal moving parts of the mechanical mouse uses a light-emitting diode and photodiodes to detect movement relative to the underlying surface. However, nobody thought about the mixing of the touchscreen with a mouse that presenting touch controls will make the mouse more ergonomic and user friendly. Check out the slideshow to go through some highly efficient mice of the future.

Forces behind the shift

With the changing needs of modern workspaces we need some highly efficient and functional gadgets to enhance the work efficiency and keep up the pace with rest of the world. Since touchscreen technology is improving day by day and becoming an integral part of modern lifestyle, it can play an important part in enhancing the usability of contemporary gadgets. Moreover, users are looking for more decent devices to keep updated with modern technology.

The windward side

The Mouse for Men comes with OLED touchscreen interface and status display, allowing users to customize buttons and menus according to their work needs or individual preference. Featuring a customizable thumb launcher to quickly access the need of the user, the touch sensitive mouse also allows emergency charging at end of normal battery life. Designed for easy handling, the concept mouse integrates a heat sensor to know the current heat generated by your hand on the screen, so you could take care of the screen and your working hours as well. While on/off launchers with customizable menu on both sides avoid undesired contact with the thumb launch menu.

The leeward side

Touchscreen devices usually have no additional keys and this means when an app crashes, without crashing the OS, you can’t get to the main menu, as the whole screen becomes unresponsive. In addition, touch sensitive devices usually have low precision, with virtual QWERTY keyboards being one of the most annoying things. Moreover, touchscreen devices require massive computing power which leads to slow devices and low battery life.
