 FULL SIZE MOUSE FOR EVERYONE

As mobile work is becoming more mainstream, we want everyone to work and play anywhere with the comfort of using a full-size mouse, but without the bulkiness that you have to stuff into your bag or pocket.

 Slim and completely flat. No bulging pockets!!

Snaps to activate in less than 0.5 seconds.

Re-imagining and re-designing the features from the ground up. With Air.0, we’ve achieved a design that’s truly spaceless. Avoid wrist cramping after long use. 

Truly comfortable for everyone.

Air.0 weighed only 40 grams and 4.5mm thin*

*97% area with 4.5mm thin with sensor of 10mm

The origami concept enabling the strong triangular structure to make Air.0 sturdy. It has went through rigorous drop test to ensure its durability and won’t break into pieces. 

We reinvented the best-PATENTED computer mouse Air.0. It’s a new form factor that slips and fits nicely into any bag or pocket. It’s super lightweight but solid and sturdy enough to take a beating.

Here is what our beta testers had to say regarding the latest prototype.

Have you ever thought about why your wrist cramps up after prolonged computer mouse use? Air.0 provides a natural hand position that could minimize muscle fatigue from long hours of use.

Plug and play, no need to install any driver.

Easy to connect to any Bluetooth-enabled computer and tablet on major operating systems.

The gliders at the bottom enable greater fluidity and precise control.  Also, with minimal area of friction, Air.0 can glide across different surfaces quietly for more discrete operation.

Air.0 uses the silence buttons. It is ideal to use it in library, bedroom, office, classroom and any places requires quietness.

It can be easily charged using a USB-C cable, no need to change batteries. With one charge, Air.0 can last for up to 3 months! With just 1 minute of charging, you get 3 hours of use – you can charge your mouse while you have a coffee break, and you’re ready for a whole day of work!

The outer layer of Air.0 is made with vegan leather which able to maintain its integrity even after extensive folding.

Dirt, grime and dust can be easily removed with a clean wipe.

Air.0 is a new way of thinking on a computer mouse. The concept was created by our designer, Horace Lam. He is a product designer, an inventor, international design award winner, a computer and gadget user. He is passionate about using new designs to change how we live and interact with our environment and is determined to bring his passion to life through innovative space-saving everyday devices and products.

As with many people, the mouse is one of the essential tools that Horace uses every day for work.  Yet he found that bringing his mouse along with him as he travels was quite a hassle, even though he had tried quite a few transforming travel mouse in the market.  It was hard to juggle the mouse on his laptop while holding other things in his hands while he moves around the office, plus it’s bulky and unsightly when he puts it into his computer bag to travel out.

Amidst his frustration, he thought “I can’t be the only person who has an issue with this.  Why hasn’t anyone come up with a solution for this?”.  Turning his annoyance into the driving force for a new and better design, Horace got to work.  As he ponders on the issue, an idea came to him while he was playing with origami one day. He thought “how about making a mouse with origami techniques?”.  Looking at the design of the ordinary computer mouse and thinking deeper into the problem, it was apparent that the general design of the mouse hasn’t been changed for decades.  It was still very much skew towards stationary use, as it was back in the day, and not designed for today’s mobile way of work and life. 

So the ability to turn a thin and flat material into a sturdy 3D mouse and back flat again, like in origami, would be the perfect solution for people’s mobile working and living style today.  And that’s how he got started.

With the origami concept and dozens of designs and prototypes, Horace had re-imagining and re-designing the features from the ground up, eliminating any needless space to make it as thin as possible while maintaining the sturdiness and useability of the mouse.  After months of hard work, Horace has finally optimized his design and reinvented the computer mouse.

We would love to share this innovative product to the person who loves using full-size mouse like you.
