Anaheim, Calif. — February 14, 2024 – Targus®, the number one laptop case brand in the US and Canada1 and a leader in laptop cases and mobile computing accessories, today announced that its patent-pending ErgoFlip™ EcoSmart™ Mouse has won several impressive industry awards during the past several months, including a CES® 2024 Innovation Award, CES 2024 TWICE Picks Award, a Good Design Award, and most recently, the prestigious International Design Award (IDA). IDA is an international design competition that recognizes, celebrates, and promotes exceptional design visionaries and discovers emerging talent in Architecture, Interior, Product, Graphic, and Fashion Design worldwide.
Industry experts and media across the design, sustainability, and technology industries continue to recognize the ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse for its novel, patent-pending design that is completely ergonomic whether it’s used in the left- or right-hand, while also providing sustainable benefits that are important to today’s businesses and consumers.
According to Jonny Yuan, Vice President of Design, Targus, “The patent-pending ergonomic and ambidextrous design of the ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse makes it very unique in the market. This is the first mouse that is truly ergonomic for right- and left-handed users, alike, solving the need to provide different mice to accommodate left- versus right-handed users in a household, classroom, or workplace, and it’s eco-friendly.”
Part of Targus’ lineup of EcoSmart™ tech accessories, this eco-friendly mouse is made from 85 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, comes in packaging made from recycled materials, and uses an ultra-low power Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 chipset that is four times more energy efficient than standard BLE chipsets to reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
Compatible with multiple devices, it supports up to 4000 DPI to deliver gaming-level performance and has built-in infrared optical tracking technology which provides accurate control across a myriad of surfaces.
As a bonus, it features Targus DefenseGuard™ Antimicrobial Protection2, which helps to create a cleaner surface by preventing the growth of microorganisms on the device and works continuously for the life of the product.
The ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse (AMB586GL) can now be purchased on Targus.com and at participating retailers throughout the US, Canada, and Europe.
