Some computer peripherals are so basic and necessary that it is surprising more are not as good-looking as the Ormie Mouse. Although there are sure to be some people who will see its prismatic design as cumbersome and even uncomfortable, many more will view the Ormie Mouse as a welcomed artistic take that will add to the overall look and feel of their computer systems.
As a collaboration between Elecom and Nendo, the Ormie Mouse will definitely be coveted by hipster geeks around the world. For those looking for more than just form, the function of the Ormie Mouse should please them as well. Not only is it completely wireless, it is also incredibly (and surprisingly) easy to use.
