受賞対象の詳細

背景 ▼

We have closely observed competitive gamers during matches and practice sessions to find their requirements and pain points. Through repeated laboratory experiments into human factors, we have designed a mouse shape that is comfortable for most players’ hands. Furthermore, the directional antenna design effectively strengthens the transmission and reception of signals within the mouse’s range of motion and reduces the unnecessary interference from other directions, even in the complex signal environments of competitive matches. The Zowie EC series has optimized every part of the wireless mouse, allowing players to control every key movement in every match.

経緯とその成果 ▼

1.Anti-interference: The mouse’s antenna is attached to the outer casing of the mouse via LDS chrome plating. The patch antenna uses a directional antenna design to strengthen the transmission and reception of signals within the mouse’s range of movement. Indicator lights are discretely placed underneath the buttons, making them visible but not obtrusive.
2. Enhanced user experience during matches: The front of the patch antenna is at a 4.5° angle, which allows the mouse to be placed quickly and easily when charging. The external boss design and the magnetic structure means that charging will not be interrupted even if the mouse suffers an impact. The interface on top features a discreet signal strength indicator, which does not interfere with the player’s view.

審査委員の評価 ▼

ミリセカンドを争うプロゲーマーにとって、マウスは最も重要なインプットデバイスの一つである。無線マウスの一番のメリットはケーブルの煩わしさの解消であるが、それに引き換え安定性、反応速度の点で有線マウスよりも劣るという理由で、有線マウスを選ぶプロゲーマーもいる。本製品は、マウスアンテナを前面に配置、シェル外周にLDSによるクロームメッキを施すなど、それら無線マウスのデメリットを限りなくゼロにすることを目標に設計されており、機能性を究極までに追求しようとする姿勢が、最終的にアンテナを含め全体の美しさに結実しているデザインである。
