A hungry mouse lost me a customer
Hayley Smith, whose job involves professional layout work with advertisements for printing, remembers the day a dead mouse lost her an important customer: "The deadline was only 10 minutes away. We're used to working that close to deadlines but right at the most critical point, my mouse died. It needed to be recharged and I didn't have a spare mouse. I desperately tried to use the keyboard to control everything. I was sweating buckets as I began to realise that this was just impossible. And then I had to ring the customer who got really upset and went to a different advertising agency."
The story above isn't true but the events described could easily happen in reality. Far too often people lose time and precision because of small things like a mouse running out of power.
Sandberg has solved this problem by developing a mouse that doesn't use batteries and doesn't need to be charged. Despite this, it's still a fully functional, wireless optical mouse. The secret is that the mouse constantly receives wireless power from the mouse mat, which is connected to a USB port by a cable. It works by induction, in exactly the same way as a wireless electric toothbrush can be charged.
A fantastic idea basically. Imagine not needing a cable for your mouse, as well as doing away with battery changes and charging. No more down time because of flat mouse batteries. The power is always on when you use the accompanying mouse mat.
It goes without saying that the trade press are very enthusiastic about this product. Just take a look at the quotes from reviews in the column to the right. And it's not only the wireless power that gets their vote. The mouse's design and functionality also garnered positive comments.
As always, the quality is first class and the guarantee lasts for five years. And yet we've decided to sell it at a very low price. Think Purple – that's how it can be done. Buy one at your dealer today and avoid dead mice in future!.
