Air.0 claims to be a full-size mouse without the bulkiness of a traditional pointer. Laid flat, it measures just 4.5mm across 97 percent of its surface (the sensor bulge is 10mm) and weighs 40 grams (about 1.4 ounces). Fold it in origami-style and it magnetically snaps together to activate, creating a sturdy full-size mouse with mechanical click buttons and a scroll pad sensor.
The pointer features gliders on the bottom at each point of contact for improved fluidity and control, and connects wirelessly using Bluetooth 5.2. Battery life is said to be rated at up to three months and you can get a full three hours of usage out of a one-minute charge via USB-C. The outer layer is constructed of water resistant vegan leather offered in a variety of colors and textures. Dirt and grime can easily be wiped away with a cleaning cloth, and we are told the leather is durable enough to maintain its integrity after extensive folding. Powering the mouse is an HD infrared sensor with a tracking speed of up to 30 inches per second. CPI is rated at 4,000. Air.0 likely isn’t going to replace a proper desktop pointer but for digital nomads or those that insist on a physical full-size mouse that does not take up much space and weighs next to nothing, this could be a viable option. The Kickstarter is based out of Hong Kong with a modest goal just shy of $10,000. With 23 days remaining, Air.0 has already far exceeded expectations with over $87,500 pledged as of writing. A commitment of 385 Hong Kong Dollars (around $49) secures an early bird reward that includes an Air.0 mouse in your choice of a dozen different colors. The Air.0 mouse is expected to enter mass production in January 2023 and ship to the first wave of early backers in March.
