This wireless mouse explores tactile patterns that provide grip when held. The two tone design creates a strong identity that is recognizable from afar.

The design

The design takes inspiration from the PlayStation 5, with strong contrasts providing a unique silhouette. The subtle ridges that form the tactile pattern find their inspiration in modern parametric architecture. Up top, they are emphasized by light reflections caused by a shiny coating. Lessons from jewelry design are applied to the aluminium mousewheel by varying its finishing between polished & satinated.

Using V-Ray I rendered this room scene alongside a keyboard that matches the mouse:

thoughts

This concept was my start into surface modeling in Rhino, using curve networks to create the tactile pattern.

The free-flowing form of computer mice interest me as they demand a variety of techniques to get right - and allow for design experimentation.
