As the level of computer integration in the people's lives has seriously increased over the past few years, quite a lot of frequent computer users feel the need of customizing their "working partners" somehow, in a manner that will make a statement about themselves and about their lifestyles. This is the reason why the people from Kensington have announced the development of six new models in their Ci (Control it) Lifestyle Collection, which provide users with advanced features but are also designed to fit their lifestyles and computing environments.

The Kensington Ci Lifestyle Collection includes specially designed computer accessories, which have a very small form factor and provide both style and a high level of functionality. Some of the main features common to this whole line of products are the very thin design (25-35% thinner than a standard notebook mouse), the presence of back-up power, which ensures reliability and allows these things to be used even when wireless usage is not permitted.

First item in the new collection is the Kensington Ci70 Wireless Desktop Set, which provides a footprint 40% smaller than standard multimedia keyboards, as well as a docking station for the attached mouse. Then there's a couple of mice, namely the Ci70 wireless mouse and the Ci70LE wireless mouse, which feature reduced form factors and very attractive designs. The line is completed by the ultra-portable Ci75m and Ci85m models, a couple of wireless mice that are intended to be used especially with portable computing systems (notebooks, laptops etc.)

"The mobile professional wants a solution that is well designed, with emphasis on appearance and fit. Our Ci Lifestyle Collection meets these needs, with sleek, modern-design products that feel good, look good and travel easily. In addition, their features are provided in a unique way," explained Juan Rodriguez, Senior Global Product Manager, Kensington. "Mobile professionals do not want bulky accessories, and they need solutions that work anywhere-at home, at a desk, at local meetings or when they are out of town. "These ultra-thin mice are designed to fit your hand, your workspace and your travel bag, so you can work wherever you are," he added.
