I own one of these. They are surpassingly more comfortable than I thought, but I have small hands. I was disappointed by the full “beige” one called Tofu, that turned out to just be peach instead.
Reminds me of this model I recently saw on Printables:

Well this looks amazing. Saving this for the futue!
holy cow it’s pretty. I feel like the screen should be e-ink and not OLED though.
I think that e-ink should be way more prevalent than it is in this kind of application, it’s way underused
I love the idea of e-ink, but I think this specific application is a prime one for OLED. it needs to be self illuminating.
This. E ink is as useful as a book in the dark.
What exactly are you doing with a mouse in the pitch dark, without even the light of your screen?! That’s some next level pervert business
You don’t have eyes in the palms of your hands like every lower demon out there?
If this wasn’t trying to be as retro, I’d be right there with you, but I’ve seen a couple of small e-ink displays that have almost exactly the same contrast as, say, printing onto beige plastic. I can read the writing on my aged-to-beige Keystep controller from the light of my screen when running Logic, which ain’t bright.
Fair.
E-ink would definitely have looked cool as well on this, though most of the time you will not even see it since your hand covers it.
Does it have a ball?
It does not, unfortunately. It’s really missing something for scrolling in the thumb areas in general. It’s the one thing missing for me that I have on my MX Master mouse.
I don’t think you’re talking about the same thing.

Don’t really miss them, though… particularly having to clean it regularly
Yeah, I love my trackball, but I have to clean it once a week.
I did also have mice with balls at the bottom when I was young, but I honestly forgot they existed! I even had the apple mouse that had a ball instead of a scroll wheel and it was horrible. I am just not used to people wanting them, lol. When people ask me about balls on mice they usually mean the additional thumb area one.
I don’t get why anyone would want a ball mouse either. One tiny spec of dust gets picked up, the mouse doesn’t fuckin work properly until you take the ball out and clean it. Every 5 minutes. When optical mice came out, never had that problem again.
I think its optical.

This is more retro than futurism tbh
The block keyboard + mouse combo is indeed cool. I wrestled a lot with going for their keyboard but ended up going with some other options. I will likely show some pictures later.
I really wanna get one of these for the hypothetical cassette futurism PC build I wanna do, they’re super cool looking
My whole desk is around cassette futurism. Keep in mind this mouse may be uncomfortable for larger hands.
I have smol hands!
Then purchase away!
love the large scroll wheel. is it free wheeling?
It Is also missing a free wheel mode like my mx master.
shame
Does it have middle click? You know, for Linux.
my most frequent use of middle click is cross-platform - opening links in a new tab and closing browser tabs.
I love selecting text on a page or different file then middle-clicking at the target for a quick copy-paste that bypasses the typical clipboard ctrl-c/ctrl-v pattern.
I will check when I am back from the holidays. I rarely use middle click anymore, but I will let you know.
