The team at Tride Design has created a progressive computer device that won the Red Dot Award for the best Design Concept with the D Mouse. It boasts a unique design visually as it features stainless steel mesh over the top of the mouse and wood at the bottom.
It looks much different than the traditional idea of a plastic mouse beyond how it looks visually. The D Mouse also has NFC pairing, an integrated SD card reader, and in-device storage of up to 1 terabyte in total to transform the device into a processing mouse and data storage. Notably, it comes with its own cable which wraps itself around the base and charges just like any other mouse.
