For those who have been taking note of CES this yr, you could have come throughout the Asus Aidol 14 Air Perfume Version’s curious gimmick: a magnetically-attached oil diffuser within the lid that emits the aroma of important oils as soon as the laptop computer heats up. Asus has now announced a “Perfume Mouse” to go along with it; and it’s coming to the US “round late April, early Might,” firm spokesperson Anthony Spence informed The Verge in an electronic mail.
The Perfume Mouse has a light-duty mousing format of two buttons and a scroll wheel. Its trick is on the underside, the place a small compartment holds a refillable vial you’ll be able to load with important oils of your selecting. It’s an in any other case customary affair — the mouse connects wirelessly over Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz wi-fi USB dongle, affords adjustable DPI (1200dpi, 1600dpi, and 2400dpi), and is powered by a single AA battery. Asus says it’s “accessible in distinctive Iridescent White or Rose Clay finishes.”
It’s possible you’ll not have the ability to get an entire smelly laptop computer and mouse set, for the reason that Adol 14 Air Perfume Version has solely been launched in China since being introduced in July 2024, as ArsTechnica notes. Spence was unable to verify pricing particulars for the Perfume Mouse in his electronic mail to The Verge.
