Sony Introduces VN-CX1, the Vaio VoIP mouse
Sony UK has introduced an optical mouse that doubles up as a VoIP handset. The VN-CX1 is designed in Vaio styling and colours - black, blue and silver. There’s a LED on top, next to the scrollwheel, that flashes when someone’s trying to call.
The user can flip open the mouse to reveal a functional phone, with the mouse-wheel being used to adjust the volume. Pressing the scroll wheel mutes the call.
A potential problem might arise if you wanted to use the mouse when you’re on a call, but the probable way may be to just switch to speakerphone mode.
The mouse weighs 67g and measures 8.9 x 4.6 x 2.4cm. It’s got a 1.1m tail. Sony said it will go on sale in the UK next month for £55.
