Azio Expands Lineup of ‘Retro Classic’ Peripherals with Mice, Pads, Palm Rests

Azio’s eye-catching Retro Classic mechanical keyboards launched last year seem to be quite a success for the company, as it now plans to expand the family of ‘Retro Classic’ peripherals with mice, mouse pads, as well as palm rests made of rather exotic materials like leather and wood.

Azio demonstrated its upcoming peripherals at Computex earlier this month and I must say that they look very impressive. Stylized after the company’s Onyx, Posh, Artisan, and Elwood keyboards, the mice, mousepads, and palm rests are designed for those who value style above all.

The Azio Retro Classic Mouse will be based on PixArt’s 3805 infrared sensor featuring a 3000 CPI/DPI resolution that promises to work on all kinds of surfaces, including glass. The mouse will use RF/Bluetooth connection and will be outfitted with a 600 mAh Li-Ion battery as well as a USB-C charging port. They key selling point of the mouse will be its interchangeable surface plates made of leather or wood that will provide the look and feel not available from other brands.

The Retro Classic Mouse will be accompanied by the Retro Classic Mouse Pad that will match its design. In addition, Azio will offer compatible Retro Classic Palm Rests that will feature genuine leather or wood finish, a metal alloy frame with retro style bolts as well as anti-slip rubber feet.

In addition to full-size Retro Classic keyboards, Azio also plans to introduce a lineup of Retro Classic keyboards without a numpad for those who would like to have a compact device. These keyboards are going to use similar designs as their full-size brethren and Kailh switches.

To grab more attention of Computex visitors, Azio also exhibited several Retro Classic keyboards designed by modders. Not all of such designs are useful for work, but if you want to catch some eyes, they are just what the doctor ordered.
