This mouse splits in half to become a presentation remote
Created by MBox, the DS21 is described as a three-in-one control hub aimed at people who regularly move between a desk, conference room, and living room. Read Entire Article
The DS21 mouse from MBox is a unique device that separates into two parts, transforming from a standard computer mouse into a handheld presentation remote and touchpad. Measuring 85 grams in its assembled form, the mouse features a detachable core weighing 35 grams, held in place by a magnetic docking mechanism. When separated, the core can be used as a gyroscopically controlled remote for presentations, media control, and smart device operation up to 15 meters away.
Its multi-touch surface under the thumb operates functions like clicking, dragging, scrolling, and volume adjustment. Compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, iPadOS, smart TVs, and projectors, the DS21 aims to replace several devices while taking up less space in a travel bag. Pledge levels for the $2,000 Kickstarter campaign started at $55, 30% below the planned $79 retail price, with mass production expected to commence in September and shipping in November.
MBox acknowledges ongoing manufacturing challenges, such as precise magnetic tolerances and consistent gyroscope performance across platforms.
