Presenter mouse, Transformable BeetleTM, model VP6770, developed

We are pleased to announce the development of Transformable BeetleTM, model VP6770, a combination of a wireless mouse and presentation remote control for commencement of marketing in December. Specifics are outlined below.

 

Wireless mouses have excellent portability and usability but with an increase in the number of operation buttons, their arrangement makes it difficult to use them easily.  The resulting mechanical design was remote from anything that may be cited as bearing usability.

 

This product has been configured not only to be fit for hands but presentation remote control buttons are laid under the sliding cover of the top case to improve portability and operability.  In addition, the opening and closing motion of the sliding cover will automatically switch the remote control’s modes between wireless mouse and presentation remote control functions, making this product very conveniently usable.  Furthermore, the addition of a laser pointer will make this product a more effective tool for good presentations.

 

We plan to distribute this product primarily through the following channels:


* Via mail order houses and Internet outlets handling stationery and PC peripherals, and retail outlets such as mass merchandisers of electrical goods
