The Samsung Balance Mouse was created as part of a work-life balance campaign in Korea and it responds to a time when professionals are finding themselves having long office hours, even while working from home. The unusual computer peripheral boasts a design that's very mouse-like and animated, as the product is designed to run away if the user is working too much.
Although the Samsung Balance Mouse resembles an ordinary wireless computer mouse, the playful parts of the design come to life when the "mouse" breaks free from its outer shell. While the Samsung Balance Mouse is not an actual product, is helps to bring attention to the importance of work-life balance, especially at a time when it's become difficult to separate home and office life.
