Meet the Mycestro

Lately, Kickstarter seems to be just brimming with cool new stuff for creatives. This time, it’s a wireless device that you wear on your index finger and serves as a replacement for your mouse, trackpad, or other input device.

Behold, the Mycestro: the Next Generation 3D Mouse.

The lightweight device clips to your finger with a semi-rigid strap and uses Bluetooth to work wirelessly with just about any computer or mobile device. It can track your hand motion in 3D space, and a touch-sensitive panel on the side has three buttons you can use to click, scroll, etc.

A USB port in the back is used to charge the device, giving it an estimated 8 hours of battery life.

To really get a sense of what it might be like to draw or paint (or even edit text) with Mycestro, check out the video below.
