[edit] Products
In recent years, A4Tech has made itself a name both with mice and keyboards. Critically acclaimed have been its X-7 mice[2][3][4] and KIP keyboards with an integrated handset for VoIP use.[5][6]
A4Tech has produced the world's first battery free wireless optical mice,[7] which, despite their wireless nature, require no batteries, since energy is supplied via electromagnetic induction from a special USB-connected mouse pad.
