Remote Control Keyboards

The Control Fly Mouse Has a Surprising Range of 15 Meters

— November 4, 2012 — Tech
The Control Fly Mouse allows users to not move for hours, and still control both the TV and a computer.

The 15-meter range on the Control Fly Mouse means that these devices can be used as far as the kitchen or hallway, depending on the size of the house. When it’s not being used as a keyboard or mouse, it can be used as a remote control for your digital television as well. The polished look of the universal remote adds a classy clean feel to it. On the underside of the keyboard is a slight divot, allowing for the device to be comfortably propped on the user’s lap. Compatible with both Windows and Mac, the ovular design may take a little while to get used to since the traditional positions for the keys are all a little warped.
Trend Themes
1. Remote Control Keyboards - The Control Fly Mouse is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the market of remote control keyboards as it combines the functions of a keyboard, mouse, and TV remote into one device.
2. Extended Range - The 15-meter range on the Control Fly Mouse presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for industries that require long-range remote control capabilities, such as home automation and audio-visual systems.
3. Multi-purpose Devices - The Control Fly Mouse's ability to function as a remote control for digital televisions in addition to a keyboard and mouse creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies have the opportunity to leverage the disruptive innovation potential of the Control Fly Mouse by integrating it into their product portfolios.
2. Home Automation - The extended range of the Control Fly Mouse opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for the home automation industry, enabling remote control of various devices from a distance.
3. Audio-visual Systems - The Control Fly Mouse's extended range and multi-purpose functionality create disruptive innovation opportunities for the audio-visual systems industry, allowing users to control their TVs and computers seamlessly.
