C|NET meldt dat Logitech maandag haar nieuwe iFeel Mouse en iFeel Mouseman aan zal kondigen. Dit worden de eerste muizen die gaan vibreren als de gebruiker bijvoorbeeld een hyperlink of pulldown menu'tje aanwijst. Volgens Logitech een grote innovatie aangezien onze muisjes tot nu toe nooit in staat waren feedback te geven. De muizen gaan respectivelijk 40 en 60 dollar kosten:
Mice have feelings too, thanks to a new computer accessory that will debut next month.
Logitech will unveil on Monday the iFeel Mouse and the iFeel MouseMan--the first mainstream mice to transmit vibrations when a person scrolls over a hypertext link on a Web page or passes the cursor over a pull-down menu. Consumers will be able to buy the mice in stores and on Web sites, including Logitech's, in mid- to late September.
The right- or left-handed iFeel Mouse will have three buttons and will retail for $39.95. With a more stylized design and a fourth button for the thumbs of right-handed users, the iFeel MouseMan will retail for $59.95.
"This is an entirely new category of pointing device," said Jan Edbrooke, director of product marketing for productivity devices for Logitech. "Up until now, mice really have been used to provide input--just button clicking and scrolling. We're going beyond that with a mouse that can provide you feedback with tactile vibrations."
