Over the years, the peripheral known as the mouse has come to be associated with that very distinctive sound known as the click, but Nexus decided it was time mice outgrew that habit, which is why it brought forth the aptly names Silent Mouse.

Mice with low-noise clicking sounds have been released in the past, but an active effort meant to completely eliminate that sound was not exactly fueled.

Now, Nexus decided to take this step by means of what it calls the Silent Switch technology.

This patented technology is the main asset of the Silent Mouse, but Nexus wisely made sure that its new invention has a whole set of extra features.

One of them is the advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology, which removes the need for a cable, letting the Silent Mouse rely on its own battery.

There is, of course, the nano receiver inside the mouse itself, as well as a 1,600 dpi sensor, which can switch to and from 1,000 dpi by means of a button.

There are three buttons in total, besides the scroll wheel, one of which does the aforementioned on-the-fly dpi switching.

What's more, an auto power save mode makes sure to reduce the power consumption when idle, so that the battery power may last as long as possible.

Speaking of battery power, the peripheral uses a pair of AAA batteries, their power being used to fuel the red sensor light and the nano receiver.

All in all, the mouse measures 9.8 x 7 x 3.7 cm, and should prove most useful in the hands of those that seek utmost silence and immersion during gaming and whatever other computing tasks they may carry out.

Unfortunately, while the company actually went as far as to provide a video demonstration of its newest creation, it decided to not offer any sort of information on the pricing and availability.
