Recently, Minister Cramer of the Ministry for Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment took part in a user trial of the world’s first exclusively photovoltaic-powered (PV) computer mouse. Dubbed as the Sole Mio, this environmentally friendly mouse is not perfect, since it can’t be fully charged during busy daily activities. The mouse should be placed near a window during the day(or direct sunlight) to recharge its built-in battery. For your info, the Sole Mio uses 20mA of electricity while active, can store 300mAh onboard, and can charge at a rate of up to 250 mA in full sunlight. The developers estimate that the Sole Mio has the potential to save several hundred million batteries annually on a global scale.
