PRODUCT DESIGN ANALYSIS – COMPUTER MOUSE

Like any good designer, you have to be aware of what you want and how you want your product to function.  It can’t be all about the aesthetics though that is definitely the minimum entry but you have to take a pragmatic approach to design.  At the end of the day, you are in the business of creating a product that is useful and functional.  Hopefully, you are making peoples lives easier with what you created.

On this episode we are going to sort of reverse design a product.  This product in particular is a computer mouse made by Logitech.  I have long been a huge fan of Logitech products ever since I bought the Formula Force Wingman Force Feeback Wheel back in 1999.  Logitech does a great job of bringing a calm aesthetic to their intro computer mice.  When it comes to gaming, the designs get pretty crazy and complex due to the amount of controls that are necessary for the games.  However, when it comes to the mouse I am going to be discussing, you’ll see the reasons why I like them so much.

Check out the video and share your thoughts and comments about the design.
