A4Tech's wireless and battery-free NB-57D optical mouse: "magic magnetism" unleashed!
A4Tech just busted out another new mouse novelty for Royche retail in Korea. Meet the NB-57D battery-free wireless optical mouse. Yeah, battery-free as in no battery required, which solves at least one of the biggest issues with setting the mouse free, or nearly so since the USB mouse pad is a critical part of the magic. See, it all works via a process dubbed "magic magnetism," which is an apparent A4Tech cocktail of electromagnetic induction and RFID technologies bundled into the kit. The mouse delivers an 800DPI sensitivity and features 7-buttons plus a scroll-wheel which can be endlessly mapped to shortcuts via the included 2X-Office software. According to AVING, it's yours for right around 20,000 Korean Won or just about $21 -- that's a big tech bang for the buck. Just don't go wearing your fancy Bluetooth watch while mousing around that potentially volatile mouse pad, ok folks?[Via AVING]
Royche / A4Tech busts out glass-friendly Glaser Mouse X6-70D
Here's yet another spectacle that's being thrown down solely in the Korean market. A4Tech has unveiled a glass-friendly mouse designed by Roysche which breaks the stereotypical belief that laser-equipped mice don't get along with clear surfaces. The Glaser Mouse X6-70D sports a very ordinary design (slightly akin to a Logitech G5), but touts an atypical "high resolution" laser that feels right at home on desktop surfaces, mousepads, pant legs, or even freshly-cleaned glass. Aside from controlling the cursor from nearly any surface imaginable ("99 percent" to be exact), it sports an "ergonomic" design, programmable buttons, an option to eliminate "double clicking," and an "Office" button that presumably launches a shortcut pad to your most necessary (read: Firefox and WoW) programs to prepare you for a hard day's night. Per usual, no pricing or availability information has leaked our way yet, but we're sure it won't be too long until we see glass-friendly critters here in the States.[Via AVing]
