Inflatable Mouse

Here’s an idea for an inflatable mouse. It sounds like it is a good idea in principle but of course, for product design, there are several issues in play.

I think there’s no doubting its portability. Its light, and flat packs to take up so little space. Very useful for traveling workers lugging their laptops around.

However, for such a functional product, a mouse to me has to work extremely well, since its in use day in, day out. It would have to feel right to hold and the tracking has to be responsive and accurate.

Weight is also an issue for some people. I’ve no idea how this inflatable mouse feels, but I suspect an attempt to give it some weight to add tactility will compromise it’s portability. Although this might be negligible. What do you think?
