The qualities of a pair of glasses and a battery has become nendo’s inspiration for a unique computer mouse and a stand.

kandenchi
A wireless computer mouse in the shape of a battery (‘kandenchi’ in Japanese), based on the mouse’s own rechargeable nature. The positive terminal has turned into the left-click button, and the scrolling wheel and right-click button are on the side. This design increases portability and allows for vertical use, making the mouse easy to use on planes, trains and other places with limited workspace.
A detachable mini-USB cable lets users plug the mouse into a mobile phone or other electronic device for recharging, just like an ordinary battery.

megane
A pair of glasses has a very simple construction: they’re unfolded for use, and folded up when not. Realizing that this construction would work well for a smartphone stand, we replaced the two lenses with transparent suction cups, making these ‘glasses’ (‘megane’ in Japanese) into a smartphone stand.
