D mouse

Multifunctional, innovative and sustainable Bluetooth mouse

DESIGNED FOR CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS BY CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS

As creative professionals experienced with technology, who travel, record and edit media files frequently, we saw computer mouse as a unique opportunity to embed multiple devices inside and redesign it in a sustainable way.

We know how frustrating it is to organize, forget, lose and find all the small SD cards, adapters and cables,

forget to charge the batteries and free space on our phones and cameras to record important moments.

USER PAIN POINTS:

No device designed for the specific needs of creative professionals
Computer mice have very limited features
They make hands sweaty after extensive use
Many new laptops come only with USB-C port and without (or with slow) SD card reader
Smartphone photos and videos files are getting bigger, they can take up a lot of phone's storage quickly
Almost all computer mice are plastic and cheap, not sustainable

MARKET AND DESIGN RESEARCH:

Most computer mice on the market are made from plastic, come with very limited features.

There is not a single device that can meet all their needs for transferring files, charging and editing media.
