The Air.0 computer mouse is the perfect solution for workers that are on the go and lack storage. This is perfect for those that prefer a mouse instead of a trackpad without taking up any space. It is made with inspiration from origami practices as the intricate Japanese art of paper folding allows the mouth to fold down to a flat sheet of paper.
There is a range of pre-scored fold lines that takes it from a flat design to a three-dimensional mouse that fits right in the palm of a user's hand. To help hold the structure in its place, there are strong magnets that assist and prevent it from immediately falling flat during use.
