Power Bank Mouse

As an avid tech-junkie myself, I’ve used a wide variety of electronics. After experiencing a world of headaches with Apple’s Magic Mouse, I decided to work through my own take on a useful peripheral that is more than meets the eye.

 

Even the best can fail.

While it is a beautiful product, introducing clever tactile gestures and haptic input to the masses, Apple’s Magic Mouse is not without flaws. Ergonomics are still up for debate, but placing the charging port on the bottom is an almost universal complaint, rendering it useless while charging.

Portable USB chargers and power banks have become an everyday gadget for millions of users. This can easily be integrated as a secondary function to further differentiate the product from its competition.

In wanting the mouse to communicate modernity and cleanliness while expanding upon functionality, I created a mood board of inspiration to drive the visual direction.
