News on October 11th, recently, according to the latest list released by the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office, Apple successfully obtained a new patent called "Deployable Button Mouse", which shows a striking Portable keyboard and mouse design.
According to the editor’s understanding, this patented design introduces a breakthrough in detachable special keys, which can function as certain keys on the keyboard under normal conditions. However, these buttons can be easily detached and turned around to function as a mouse should the user so desire. The patent document also clearly proposes two design solutions, one is to disassemble the keycap, and the other is to disassemble the entire key unit.
Apple’s design philosophy is to provide more diversified working methods to meet the needs of different users. Although trackpads can replace mice in some scenarios, it is undeniable that many consumers are more accustomed to carrying mice. Therefore, Apple’s patented innovation does not replace the trackpad, but serves as a useful supplement to further improve the user’s interactive experience.
This novel patented design undoubtedly brings more innovation possibilities to Apple, and may provide users with a more flexible and multifunctional device experience in the future. As technology continues to advance, we look forward to seeing concrete applications of this concept and its impact on future products.
