The Rolling Mouse isn't just another cordless computer mouse. This fancy-looking peripheral doesn't even require battery changes or the occasional cable connection in order to juice up. What you get with this gadget is the short-distance wireless charging capabilities of electromagnetic induction, enabling the device to operate continuously off of the power of your laptop with bluetooth.
Because a generous fuel cell is not necessary, the Rolling Mouse has been slimmed down. In profile, the cutting-edge cursor control takes on the elegant form of an apostrophe. The gizmo frees up space underneath, but it arches upwards for the comfort of your palm and fingers. Designed by Zhang Chunming, Hu Zhichao, Chen Lei, Zheng Yu, Kong Hongqiang, Yin Pen and Wu Tian, it's sharp and light to fit contemporary electronics aesthetics.
