"Like you're holding a pen!" ELECOM adds 2.4 GHz wireless models

featuring ultra-compact micro-receivers to

the "SCOPE NODE" laser sensor mouse series


In early June, ELECOM CO., LTD. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President: Junji Hada) will add the "M-SN2DL series" to the laser sensor mouse "SCOPE NODE" lineup that is designed under an unconventional mouse concept of "Like you're holding a pen!" The M-SN2DL series will comprise 2.4 GHz band wireless models equipped with ultra-compact micro-receivers.

The SCOPE NODE lineup represents 3-button laser sensor mice based on an unconventional concept of "Like you're holding a pen!" derived from ELECOM's untiring efforts to achieve rational design. Following the M-SN1UL series released in April 2009, the M-SN2DL series wireless models feature ultra-compact "micro-receivers."

The ultra compact, coin-size micro-receiver is designed to minimize its presence when plugged into the USB port. The receiver can be left connected to the USB port of a laptop computer while it is being carried, or can also be stored into the mouse body. The wireless "2.4 GHz band/DS-SS system" ensures stable cursor movement from a distance of approx. 10 m above non-magnetic materials or approx. 3 m above magnetic materials (e.g., steel desk).

The laser sensor is capable of achieving a higher recognition rate in low-contrast situations than that of a conventional optical mouse. The sensor can accurately translate subtle movement of the mouse 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 (1600 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.

That's all we have to say about the SCOPE NODE series. Just take a look, pick it up, and enjoy the feeling...

In the SCOPE NODE series, the laser sensor is placed in the position of a pen tip. Enjoy the familiar feeling, "Like you're holding a pen!"
The ultra-compact micro-receiver can be left connected to the USB port of laptop computer when carried. The receiver can also be stored in the mouse body.
The noise-resistant 2.4 GHz band/DS-SS system achieves cursor movement from a distance of approx. 10 m above non-magnetic materials or approx. 3 m above magnetic materials (e.g., steel desk).
The laser sensor is capable of achieving a higher recognition rate in low-contrast situations than that of a conventional LED optical mouse.
The sensor's high-resolution performance (1600 dpi) can accurately translate subtle movement of the mouse into the cursor movement.
The optimal weight balance enhances operability.
The big wheel (27 mm in diameter) ensures comfortable scrolling.
The low power consumption design provides many hours of operation with one AAA battery.
The automatic sleep function and the power-off switch prevent battery consumption while the mouse is not in use.
Integrated lamp indicating remaining battery power to notify when change of battery is required
Eliminates the inconvenience of installing a dedicated driver, etc.
Conforms to the safety level for the Class 1 Invisible Beam standard*
* Do not look at the laser light through optics, e.g., microscope or a magnifying glass, as it may harm your eyes. The USB connector is also design-oriented.
