Designing rodents at Microsoft
Don’t worry, we’ve not got in to the genetic engineering business (yet)…I’m talking about design of computer mice and specifically the Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 Studio Series line (gulp, quite a mouthful that). I got to spend some time in our model shop recently where the initial designs for hardware are crafted by hand. I’ll have a follow-up story on that soon but in the meantime, this funky little video with Lindsey and Kate shows some of the design culture here at Microsoft. I’ve been amazed at the design culture here from hardware and software and also some of the places these folks work are the coolest spots in the company. Similarly, more to come on that soon via a brand new website.
