Technology Breakdown
Obsidian Polymer – Structural Core Layer
Obsidian Polymer forms the internal body of the mouse, delivering rigid support with a dark satin finish. Its smooth, low-gloss surface minimizes glare and visual noise, creating contrast beneath the transparent shell. Engineered for durability and strength, this material anchors the overall form while reinforcing the product’s technical and futuristic aesthetic.
Selected for its flexibility, thermal resistance, and soft-touch finish, this silicone element is molded to diffuse internal LED light evenly across the front edge. Its durable, rubber-like composition absorbs micro-impacts while maintaining a clean, seamless glow. The material’s pliability also simplifies assembly and ensures a flush integration with the surrounding body.
Translucent Silicone Diffuser
Brushed Black Anodized Aluminum Base
Chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and structural rigidity, this anodized aluminum base anchors the mouse with stability and precision. The brushed finish reduces visual noise and resists surface wear, while the rigid metal foundation provides a durable interface for mounting internal components. Its clean edge profile ensures seamless integration with the upper housing layers.
Liquid Glass Polymer forms the outer shell, offering a glass-like finish with the durability of high-grade synthetic material. Its transparent, glossy surface reveals the structure beneath, creating a sense of depth and precision while enhancing comfort through a soft-touch interface. Designed to protect embedded sensors and reduce glare, it delivers long-term clarity, tactile quality, and a modern, refined aesthetic.
