While you were busy browsing online blogs looking for iPad 3 and iPhone 5 {small yawn}, many companies are developing products that transform our usual sense of how things should look like and operate. Innovation under the mainstream radar, but equally, if not more so, creative and impressive! Introducing the Elecom M-NE5DL Cylinder Wireless Laser Mouse which is not your typical mouse. With a shape of a round cylinder, the mouse takes less space for greater movement. Tired of having to change the batteries of your Magic Mouse (we are), the new Kandenshi is designed with a built-in rechargeable battery so you can say goodbye to those Alkaline's. Need to conduct a lecture with a computer? The M-NE5DL would be a much better candidate for you to do so. The new Kandenshi Cylinder Mouse is Elecom Japan's 6th collaboration product with Japanese design firm Nendo. See below for Elecom's press release.

he product name "kandenchi" literally means "dry cell battery" and implies the product's rechargeability. In appearance, it is just like a dry cell battery, which is quite unique for mouse. It is as small as a D battery, so to a user, holding this mouse feels holding a dry cell battery. On the front side are a left-click button and a mouse wheel. Generally, among mouse functions, the left-click button is used most frequently. With "kandenchi," the left-click button is perfectly positioned for operation with the index finger. The mouse wheel (for scrolling) is also perfectly positioned for operation with the middle finger. On top is the right-click button, where the metal cap (plus terminal) of a dry cell battery would be. Although the shape of this mouse is quite unique, its operability is just as good as that of an ordinary mouse, enabling users to operate the mouse comfortably and smoothly without any unnatural twisting of the wrist. "Kandenchi" is compact, portable and space-saving; occupies only the space of a standing dry cell. Conveniently for use on a train or in any other small workspace. The product's wireless system uses a frequency in the 2.4 GHz band, ensuring stable communication and accurate mouse operation within a radio wave range of approx. 10 meters when placed on a non-magnetic material and approx. 3 meters on a magnetic material, such as a steel desk. The build-in high-precision laser sensor recognizes minute movements precisely, with a recognition rate higher than that of optical sensors.

The microreceiver, the size of a one-yen coin, is not in the way even when inserted to a notebook computer during travel, and can be stored inside the mouse body. This product is energy-saving, being equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged using the accessory cable. The product is also equipped with such user-friendly functions as an on/off switch on the back of the body and an indicator light for remaining battery life, to indicate time for charging. Resolution is 1,200 dpi, which ensures smooth mouse operation.
