myAir.0 OriMouse 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.

Risks and challenges

With our years of experience with electronics product development, our team is very confident with our product quality, user experience, and shipping schedule for myAir.0 OriMouse.
