A Closer Look


As you can see, the mouse looks pretty much as it should. However, a closer look towards the front edge, you can see a little bump and a plastic strip; this is the IronVeil sensor. It’s just ahead of the tip of your thumb when gripping the mouse. Simply put your designated finger on the sensor and you’re done. No silly sliding your finger all over the place, or trying to line up the angle, just a smooth touch and you’re done.

While this is only a retrofit of the sensor, it’s certainly a job well done. It doesn’t feel unnatural, it doesn’t interfere with the normal grip or ergonomics of the mouse and quite honestly, if you didn’t tell someone it was there, I doubt they would even notice it.

Again, just the usual mouse, and from my personal experience having used one before, it’s a great mouse too, but that’s not the main subject for today.

On the bottom, you can see a little bit of hand tool work has gone on here, there are some rough screw holes at the front, but that’s to be expected with a prototype. It looks like they’ve screwed the components for the IronVeil directly to the base of the mouse; don’t expect this rougher finish on a consumer product release, this is just a proof of concept after all.
