taking the shape of a battery, ‘kandenchi’ (which means ‘battery’ in japanese) is a wireless computer mouse whose form is based on its own rechargeable nature. the positive terminal functions as the left-click button, while the scrolling wheel and right-click button are found on the side of the mouse. the compact design has been created to increase portability, allowing for vertical use in more limited work spaces such as during one’s travels on a plane or train etc. a detachable mini-USB cable allows users to plug the mouse into a mobile phone or other electronic devices for recharging, just like an ordinary battery.
