Combimouse Combination Keyboard & Mouse [Combimouse Follow Up - Backer Still Sought]

Though the Combimouse appears to be making the news across various sites right now we actually offered you a heads up concerning the distinctive Combimouse Combination Keyboard and Mouse back in October 06 (yes, really, that far back) – see: The Combimouse – the Keyboard of the Future – so, following on from the above posting, and by way of a follow up, we thought we’d take a look to see how the Combimouse is developing and it appears that this split keyboard and mouse combo, which is billed as offering a number of ergonomic advantages over traditional keyboards, is actually no nearer to seeing it into production with the company, having completed usability studies, still looking for a commercial backer.

Personally I’m fairly surprised that, to date, and after this length of time, a backer still hasn’t been found as I don’t doubt that the Combimouse has a great deal going for it, such as (as per our previous posting – assuming you’ve not already clicked through):

combimouse combination keyboard mouse features

  • Providing instant and effortless transition between keyboard and mouse operation.
  • eliminating shoulder abduction – a widely documented and recognised problem – which is the unnatural opening up of the shoulder in order to reach a standard mouse.
  • Minimising prime desk space usage.
  • Offering left and right units that are small enough to be easily pushed aside while not in use.
  • Offering split units that can be placed to the right and left of center, leaving a clearing for books or other items.
  • Offering a right unit features an integrated numeric keypad, making the combimouse perfect for data entry and navigating spreadsheets.
  • Boasting a multi button mouse which is convenient for gaming, CAD and most other programs. It is the best system for First Shooter Gamers.
  • Featuring a right unit that can be used with a notebook to provide keyboard, mouse and numeric keypad functionality.

So, in short, there appears to be little forward movement concerning the Combimouse with respect to seeing it become a commercial reality though we would hope that the renewed interest the device is now receiving – and we’re happy to play our part here – will see a backer put their weight behind the project.

We know the bods at Logitech read us so come on guys, why not assist in giving the chaps behind the Combimouse a break?
