Kensington’s SlimBlade Mice and Notebook Set Reinvent the Computer Interface

New Collection Meets Innovative Technology, Design Needs of Mobile Professionals

30 May 2008, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - Kensington Computer Products Group, a worldwide leader in delivering smart made simple computing accessories for the mobile consumer, today unveiled the SlimBlade™ Lifestyle Collection, a line of input devices uniquely tailored to the tech-savvy mobile professional. Combining a unique feature set with
unrivaled simplicity, each product is designed to work flawlessly and intuitively to fit its user lifestyle.

The SlimBlade Lifestyle Collection is the embodiment of Kensington’s Smart Made Simple™ philosophy that focuses on simplifying a consumer’s experience with computing technology and designing stylish accessories that look as good and function as well in the home or car as they do in the office. The SlimBlade Lifestyle Collection
also features a sleek, modern design, with products offered in timeless, classic colors like deep wine, graphite,
and ice blue that allow mobile consumers to personalize their computing devices to better fit their personal
preferences and lifestyles.

“With SlimBlade, we set out to create the perfect computing accessories for traveling executives,” said Sam
Goldstein, Product Manager, Kensington. “So, we started from scratch and focused on their needs and lifestyle.”

“Traveling executives need to get the most out of their computers in all the settings that comprise a full mobile
experience—be it an office desk, an airport seat, a hotel room, or their sofa at home,” added Goldstein.
“SlimBlade features the first mobile trackball, which allows road warriors to ‘mouse’ on literally any surface. Our
media and presenter mice give them the essential controls to take charge of their work and their lifestyle. The
modular notebook set gives them the flexibility to use only the components that they need, separately or in
tandem. And yet all of these unique solutions are unified by elegant shapes and intuitive controls that supports
the multiple layers of technology that are built into each product.”

Kensington distilled mobile executives’ needs into three product pillars:
Thin design – a slim profile (up to 25-35% thinner than a standard notebook mouse) and sleek appearance.
Layers of functionality – the elegant convergence of technologies and features arranged in a smart hierarchy that is simple to use.
Any terrain – optimized for the mobile lifestyle, with access to all features in any environment.

At the core of Kensington’s SlimBlade Lifestyle Collection is sleek, thin design with low profiles designed for easy
packing, functionality and the kind of design statements that users want to project, wherever they are working ”
said Goldstein. “This line is inspired by the duality of executives’ work-hard/play-hard lifestyle. Kensington
understands that people ultimately want a product that makes their lives easier while fitting easily into their
lifestyle. Mobile professionals need simple and elegant solutions without compromise. With the SlimBlade
collection, we’ve created a line of products that is as unique as they are.”
