Solar Mouse

Computer Peripheral

Ambient Photonics

The Solar Mouse is a first-ever battery-free light-powered travel mouse. Developed and powered by Ambient Photonics, the Solar Mouse is a first offering of a suite of next-gen peripherals, unburdened by the environmental impact and design constraints of traditional batteries. The Solar Mouse is powered by Ambient Photonics’ unique dye-sensitized solar cell technology, which delivers 300% more power than other indoor solar solutions, which allows the opportunity to embed light harvesting within previously inaccessible devices. The Solar Mouse is powered by ambient indoor light and never requires the user to stop and recharge.
