Apple's patents often cause a stir in the design and technology industry, and its latest is no different. The new patent suggests that the Apple MacBook or desktop keyboard and mouse could get a cutting edge update somewhere down the line. Suitably named the 'Deployable Key Mouse', the design shows a detachable mouse disguised as a key in the keyboard.
The mouse hidden in the keyboard will supposedly double up as a functioning button and precision 'computer pointer device'. This design has the potential to grant creatives with flexibility on-the-go, minimise the hassle of carrying separate accessories and working on creative programmes with the trackpad. Seeing as this patent is only a week old, it's unlikely to be gracing our Macs anytime soon but in the meantime, you can find the best mouse for MacBook Pro and Air here.
