Microsoft launches mouse with recycled plastic

The Mouse launched is produced with recycled 20% marine plastic. It also reinforces the company's commitment to building a sustainable future.

According to the Redmond giant, the production of the accessory includes the utilization of waste plastics taken from oceans and various waterways. After being cleaned and processed, the small recycled pieces are mixed together and used in the development of the mouse housing.

The reuse of materials is present in the packaging of the Microsoft Ocean Plastic Mouse, which is 100% recyclable. 

In this case, the manufacturer did not use any plastic in the production of the box, opting instead for recycled wood and sugar cane fibers.

The new wireless mouse built with recycled materials comes with three customizable buttons. And they can be configured via specific software. 

It is now available for pre-order in the United States. The purchase price so far is $25. 

Deliveries of the wireless mouse are scheduled to begin on October 5. The warranty is limited to one year.

Among several advantages of the mouse are fast navigation and Swift Pair technology, which makes it easy to pair the mouse with a PC or notebook. 

Compatible with Bluetooth 4.0 and above, the peripheral can be used on devices running Windows 8.1 and later versions. 

It is powered by one AA battery, included in the product, with an estimated life of 12 months, according to the company. The autonomy varies depending on the conditions of use.
