Scope Node Mouse, For Those Ultra-Sensitive Applications

One thing you have to love about Japan is the way its manga/anime culture permeates into normal everyday life. From the life-sized Gundam in Odaiba to the futuristic Himiko watercraft in Tokyo Bay (we’ll look at both of these soon), you can’t help but be bombarded with anime-inspired paraphernalia everywhere you go.

Take this computer mouse by Elecom for example. It has styling and design cues straight from the pages of “Ghost in the Shell” or “Metal Gear Solid“. But it’s all not just style and no substance.

The Scope Node positions the laser sensor between your thumb and index finger, akin to you holding a pen. This way, you can move the mouse more precisely than ever before.

The SCOPE NODE: M-SN1UL series incorporates a laser sensor capable of achieving a higher recognition rate in low-contrast situations than that of a conventional optical mouse. The sensor can pick up subtle movement of the mouse and accurately translate the movement into the cursor movement.

The SCOPE NODE is also characterized by its laser sensor position aligned to that of the pen tip, so that the sensor’s high-resolution performance (1,600 dpi) can be accurately represented on the screen.

In short, you can use “a PC monitor and a mouse” just like “a piece of paper and a pen” because you can use the mouse just “like you’re holding a pen!” for writing or drawing

The Scope Node is only available in Japan, but a quick search in google will bring up online shops that are willing to sell and ship them to your door (unless you live in remote places like Nigeria or Bhutan).
