Genius has come out with a new wireless mouse that doesn’t use batteries, but features a quick recharge time and all-day use. Called the DX-ECO BlueEye Mouse, it runs on the unique battery-free tech to make for an eco-friendly device. Instead of using traditional rechargeable batteries, the mouse packs a gold capacitor that’s listed to charge in three minutes and hold enough power to last a whole day, and is rated for 100,000 recharge cycles.
Bluetooth keyboards aren’t necessarily a new thing these days, but while they can work with both desktops and mobile devices, they can only pair with one device at any one time. Accessory maker Matias has come up with a handy solution with people who work on desktops but would prefer a faster way of typing text on the iPhone without having to pick up an extra dedicated keyboard for it. Called the One Keyboard, this keyboard has a dedicated button for instantly switching between a PC or Mac and an iPhone.
Logitech has introduced the Cube, a device that basically ties the functions of both a wireless mouse and a wireless presenter into one compact wireless kit that fits into a shirt pocket. It’s not necessarily the first mouse/presenter combo that we’ve seen, but it’s certainly the most interesting we’ve seen yet – the design certainly helps (despite the name, it’s technically not a “cube,” by the way), but a number of unique features help it stand out.
If you’re a fan of revolutionary design, then you’re going to like this: startup Product Design has listed this glass keyboard and glass trackpad on Kickstarter for funding. Made using tempered glass, the multitouch peripherals rely on touchscreen tech called FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) which basically uses infrared lights and a camera for detecting user input.
JBL has unveiled the Jembe, a two-piece multimedia speaker set that “sounds great” without “taking up much space.” Primarily designed for desktop computer use, the Jembe also sports 3.5mm headphone jacks for easily plugging in a headset or a separate audio source without unplugging it from a desktop computer.
