The Loto Mouse is perfect for those who simply dislike the subtle tactility of their laptop trackpads. Designed by ACE Group and iFace, the concept is wonderfully portable and deliciously unique.
Named a winner within the 2014 Red Dot Design Awards, this product can be packed flat with a depth of less than a centimeter, making it easy to slide into your briefcase pocket or your notebook sleeve. To use it, treat its thin split cord as a drawstring and the separated sides of the circle's missing slice will come together. A slight cone is formed from this action, creating an ergonomic computer accessory that welcomes the placement of your palm. The Loto Mouse uses touch-sensivitve material instead of buttons.
