Obviously we'll believe it when we see it. It did get me thinking though about how you could use the movement of the mouse generated by the human user to generate a trickle of electricity to .... hmmmm.

When I saw the headline, I was thinking the same thing. Can you get a significant amount of charging from the mouse movement? (maybe magnets in the mouse pad with coils in the bottom of the mouse?) You can obviously get some charge from that, (A current carrying conductor in a magnetic field with relative motion between them), but would it be significant? I would never invest in a product that had the line "infinite battery" because it is a lie. Zero trust there.

You could add a ball underneath. That worked before.

I already have infinite battery, it's called a cable lol. Never understood the appeal of a wireless mouse, there are zero benefits only compromises, unless you really hate cables in which case as a fan of late 90's early 00's cyberpunk aesthetic we can't be friends

Stay away from this and also other "revolutionary" products.

If they try selling this mouse in the UK, with the "infinite battery" claim, the Advertising Standards Authority will slap that down, as long as someone reports it...

Like for old cars you need to go to a bodywork to finish it.

I also was thinking the same. I have a mechanical watch without electrical battery, instead it use a spring to store energy and it auto-charge with a spinner, the wrist movements make the spinner spin and it's stored in the spring so if you use it often then you don't need to charge it.
