COMPUTER MOUSE
Surface Issues
  • One of the few real issues with current optical mice is how they behave on certain surfaces. Unlike roller-ball mice, which were workable on practically any surface, as long as we didn't mind cleaning them every week, optical mice won't work on glossy or highly reflective surfaces. This means we will probably need a mouse pad if our desk is very shiny or made of glass because surface reflections interfere with the mouse's optics and make it unusable. This bother me so much, especially when small desk is used, the  shiny plastic surface make the cursor run away sometime.

Speed
  • Optical mice are faster than all previous mice models. However, for me this is a disadvantage because the increase speed makes it harder to control. Of course, we can control the sensitivity and speed of our mouse from within your operating system, but only if we know how. Some other laptop which uses ubuntu as operating system, I am totally out of their customization. It is not friendly user.


Energy Use

  • Although the energy use of a mouse is minimal when compared to other hardware components, such as a printer or a monitor, optical mice consume more energy than the older roller-ball models. This is because optical mice are made entirely of static, electronic components which must be constantly switched on to work. Especially wireless mouse. In contrast, roller-ball mice used rubber balls to activate the sensor and required lower energy expenditure. This is one of the reasons that the laptop cannot stay longer to perform the jobs.

Space
  • Optical mice solved many of the problems roller-ball mice had, but still require a relatively large desk-area to work. If we are using a laptop on an airplane, or while sitting on a deckchair, an optical mouse isn't practical. Most laptops come with a pointer mouse or a small joystick, so we can operate them without the need of a desk or other type of surface. But it required high patient to move the cursor.

CABLE MESS
Problem : What we can see below is the situation that always happen in our small home office especially for person that working the computer. There are so many wires and cables and they become so messy behind of the gadgets!!
Solution :
So the solution that I can use here is by using a “Cable Box” which created a special space for the unwanted length of the cable hide.  The design is as below.

This “Cable Box” has only two holes at each left and right side. One side as the input hole for the main power supply and the other side are as the output hole, which can be used for our charger cable, pc cable or other gadgets cables. From this product we can save the unwanted wires and cables inside the box without make our space full of mess.

SCANNER
The scanner is the product that bothering me since 2 years ago. Having experience work as a cashier in one of the cybercafé, make this thing hunted me when the customer asking about the price of the scanning service, as the person that working there,  I being told to follow  the service price stated. Some customers are trying to argue about the service price hence the scanning price is a bit higher than printing. Some of the customer does not want to pay for the services that they have already used. Even though the prices of the service a bit similar throughout Malaysia.  Is it because of the technology making this service price become that high? Or because of demand of using this service less making the service price goes up?.  So as an engineer wannabe, this problem should be solved by any means creating, upgrading or developing.
