It’s ok using a touchpad on your laptop when browsing the internet. But when, for instance, you’re creating graphics or gaming, using a mouse is definitely preferred. For the mouse to work precisely you want a hard, flat, and smooth surface. But sometimes you’re on the go. And sometimes you just want to take your laptop and loll on the sofa or in bed. The solid mousepad is a small working desk you can take anywhere with you.
A product design is an equation of three variables – a visual, a function, and a production process. The third variable remains hidden from a consumer, but for a designer, it is always a great challenge. The more so in a “small-batch” type of projects. Along with designing solid mousepads, a manual assembly tool was designed. As a matter of fact, it’s another product itself.
