Sole Mio Solar Powered Computer Mouse

Computer mice powered by batteries could soon become a thing of the past if trails of the world’s first exclusively ‘photovoltaic-powered’ computer mouse (that’s solar powered to you and me) yield positive results.

Sole Mio Solar Powered Computer Mouse Detail

A series of fifteen Sole Mio solar powered mice are presently undergoing user trials with the Dutch Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment also taking a ‘hands on’ approach. The trials are designed to see whether solar power can prove to be an effective power source in such a device during daily usage – i.e., allowing for the fact that when the mouse is in use the solar panel contained within the device is covered.

Further information concerning the trial can be obtained from the TUDelft Website.
