MX Air
—Finding the magic
Combining mouse and gesture control
At its best, new technology can evoke a sense of magic. This particular technology liberates the mouse from the desk and enables intuitive cursor control in the air.
The theme of magic permeated our approach to every aspect of the design. The clean black finish, the embedded backlighting that appears when you pick it up, the seamless construction and the translucent on-screen interface – all these elements support the idea of ‘magic’ in the mouse.
The result was a device which embodied Logitech’s engagement with the future of human computer interaction.
The MX Air was featured in the ‘Design and the Elastic Mind’ exhibition at MoMA in New York. The exhibition focused on ‘...designers ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science and social mores, changes that will demand or reflect major adjustments in human behaviour and convert them into objects and systems that people understand and use’.
