NY Design Week 2011 Preview: "Felt Mouse" by Joey Roth

By Ray Hu - May 5, 2011

If the response on both Core and Coroflot were any indication, Michael Roopenian's "Engrain" keyboard definitely resonated with a certain contingent of computer users seeking a more tactile typing experience.

Joey Roth brings us the perfect companion to the wood-grain keyboard: a felt mouse. His pithy description says it all: "A computer mouse made from wool felt, teak, and aluminum."

Where Roopenian's prototype is still a concept, Roth will present his mouse as part of the American Design Club's exhibit "Use Me," from May 13 - 16, during New York Design Week.

I love this! The plastic mouse has no touch appeal at all.
