Lenovo seems to have found a solution to the tedious task of recharging a keyboard and mouse—which is much more tedious in the case of Apple’s Magic Mouse. The company presented during the CES in Las Vegas a prototype of both peripherals that do not need batteries, or even cables to connect them to the power. They are completely wireless, and They are recharged by mechanical energy.
That is, the new Lenovo keyboard and mouse They work thanks to the energy generated by the users themselves through mechanical movements. Unlike what you may think, the battery itself is not recharged by typing or moving the mouse wheel. Both accessories have a dial and a type of crank that must be turned manually.
We find the dial on the Lenovo keyboard, specifically in the upper area. This type of wheel is also located together with a solar panel that allows it to provide more autonomy; something that is appreciated if we take into account that By turning the dial for one minute we get only 30 minutes of energyas has been confirmed PCMag.
The Lenovo mouse, on the other hand, has a small crank located at the bottom. As the accessory has a considerably small size, the crank is deployed so that the user can turn it comfortably. In this case, To get 30 minutes of battery life you need to turn it on for 5 minutes.
Of course, both the keyboard and the mouse They have a USB-C port for those users who prefer to connect it to the power and thus charge it more quickly. Lenovo even allows you to choose between a Bluetooth connection or through an included 2.5 GHz USB receiver.
Lenovo’s new keyboard and mouse don’t have much else special
Beyond that, the Lenovo keyboard does not have any other new features or features different from other keyboards. It has a total of 68 keys and RGB backlighting, as well as, we reiterate, a USB-C connector and a connection button on the front. The mouse, on the other hand, includes the classic keys and a standard scroll wheel, as well as two side buttons that can be programmed through software to open applications or perform some other shortcut. The mouse is also software programmable at 12,800 dpi.
In any case, we must take into account that It is a prototype and that, at least for the moment, is not available for sale. It is, however, a curious idea to take advantage of the tics that many users have when studying or working in front of the computer, or simply browsing the Internet.
