A Sweat-Proof Gaming Mouse
Marsback's Zephyr Pro has a built-in cooling system
"The right mouse is the most critical weapon in your PC-gaming arsenal," says product designer Gary Lin, who admits he has "glands that produce excessive sweat while gaming." Lin, a designer for PC hardware manufacturer Marsback, was in a position to do something about it.
Lin designed the Zephyr Pro, an anti-sweat gaming mouse with a built-in fan and the RGB lighting that this market segment apparently demands. The fan reportedly directs air to "blast directly into your palm [to] effectively evaporate sweat," allowing you to keep your grip.
"The surface of Zephyr Pro features a delicate matte coating, which is both greaseproof and fingerprint-proof. The mouse feet are made of PTFE material to ensure a smooth movement. and with a 1.8m paracord cord, which is soft enough to reduce the interference caused by friction while being durable."
The Zephyr Pro will set you back $69.

As an industrial designer who uses a computer a lot of the time, I have also experienced sweaty hands on a mouse. I personally believe that the Zephyr pro mouse is a good and useful design when it comes to operating or spending time on your pc for a long period. The air directed to the palm of your hand as you operate the mouse is great. However, The openings/holes will let in more dust meaning cleaning regularly will be a job that comes with owning one of these. What happens if the user spills liquid over the mouse? But otherwise, I like the concept.
