Logitech's Air Mouse
Logitech MXAir Mouse is a cordless air mouse that works both on a desk and in the air. The device combines Logitech's Freespace motion control, gesture command and wireless connectivity to allow users to point, select and play media files with a flick of the wrist. The MX Air mouse combines features of the traditional mouse and remote control. It has been designed for people who use PCs for entertainment, said Andy Hengel, a product manager at Logitech.
Logitech's patented Freespace technology is based on a combination of micro-electromechanical sensors, digital signal processing and radio frequency wireless technology. This allows the user to hold the mouse in any orientation and point it in any direction.
In place of a traditional scroll wheel, the MX Air mouse features a touch-sensitive scroll panel. A swipe of the finger across the surface enables the inertial scrolling mechanism, which adjusts its speed according to the speed of the finger swipe. Media functions such as Play/Pause, Volume/Mute, Back and Select can be easily accessed in the air by pressing the large, orange backlighted buttons with the thumb.
The MX Air mouse has a polished-black, semi-transparent top case, a silver base and a svelte, contoured shape. The carefully sculpted shape provides versatility, allowing people to comfortably use it as a desktop mouse – with their hand over the top – or as an air mouse – with their fingers under the base and their thumb on top for button selection.
The rechargeable MX Air mouse uses Logitech’s 2.4 GHz Digital Cordless technology, which offers a range of up to 30 feet (10 meters). TWith its 2.4 GHz micro-receiver, the MX Air mouse can also be plugged in and used with a desktop or notebook PC.
“The MX Air mouse offers a radically new way for people to control their PC entertainment,” said Rory Dooley, Logitech senior vice president and general manager of the Control Devices business unit. “It’s for anyone who has listened to music on their PC and been frustrated by having to return to the desk to change songs or volume. It’s for people who want to share vacation photos with friends and family without being tied to the desk. It’s for any of the millions of people using the Internet to browse and watch videos on sites such as YouTube or Grouper. And it’s for people with a living-room computer or media PC who want to navigate their media content on their terms.”
