PRESS RELEASE
Emeryville, CA – February 1, 2010 – OreObject, a newly-launched manufacturer of upscale ergonomic and lifestyle peripherals, today introduced the revolutionary SPHEREtouch handcrafted mouse. The SPHEREtouch represents the flagship product in OreObject’s premier line of personal computing peripherals and features innovative, touch-sensitive buttons that are significantly less strenuous on a user’s fingers than the conventional mouse.
The innovative touch-sensitive buttons and the vertical button placement are designed to allow fingers to ‘dangle’ freely when no button actuation is required. Whereas the conventional mouse requires force exertion by the finger every time the mouse button is clicked, a slight tapping motion is all that is required for the SPHEREtouch mouse to accomplish the same task. Base on an internal study conducted in 2009, an average mouse user clicks well over 800 times per day. “You can imagine how much exertion that is applied to a single finger which also does scrolling,” said Charles Tseng, founder & chief designer at OreObject.
OreObject’s design offers creativity, innovation and luxury that have never before been seen in a computer mouse. OreObject has gone through an intensive material selection process to ensure that the SPHEREtouch possess both advanced functionality and timeless durability. Constructed out of a medical- grade stainless steel enclosure, the solid feel of the mouse in conjunction with the high quality ceramic feet provides the user with a feeling of weightlessness on smooth/non-abrasive surfaces.
The use of multiple high-precision bearings and a large horizontal scroll wheel allows the users to smoothly scroll through long documents or zoom in and out of applications such as Google Earth very much the same as a DJ spins the turntable. “It’s very intuitive and creative way of scrolling. You will never go back to scrolling with your index finger again,” said Charles Tseng, founder & chief designer at OreObject.
