July 2011

The Microsoft Arc Touch wins and IDSA 2011 IDEA Award Gold!  Radius developed (and implemented) the complex arch mechanism. Check out the award details and the other winners at IDSA.org 
Congrats to One & Co and Microsoft Hardware User Experience Team for the win. From IDSA.org: "People today are using mobile computers more than ever, yet they still want comfort and control when using them. The Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse was designed to deliver on that challenge. It goes from flat to curved in one simple movement, so working on the go is easier than ever. At less than 15 millimeters thick at its widest point, it easily slips into a bag, purse or pocket for ultimate portability."
