"What sets it apart is its origami-inspired design: the device lies completely flat when folded down, at a thickness of just 6.5 mm. It may not be quite as thin as a sheet of paper, but it's noticeably slimmer than any conventional mouse. Even travel-sized models remain rounded and relatively bulky, still taking up quite a bit of space in a bag. GoFold easily slides into a laptop sleeve, a notebook, or even a pocket."
"Turning it into a full-size device is simple: with a quick snap, the flat surface arches into a curved, ergonomic shape. The design follows origami principles: the structure is built through folding rather than mechanical hinges that can loosen or break over time. Because there are no traditional joints, the device can withstand thousands of folds."
"The body is made from vegan leather with a fabric-like texture. The material is sweat-resistant and easy to clean with a quick wipe. The creators describe the construction as a unibody, meaning there are no complex moving parts or fragile joints that could snap under the pressure. The high-resilience material can absorb impact, so the mouse just bounces off a surface rather than breaking apart when dropped."
GoFold is an innovative foldable mouse currently seeking Kickstarter funding, designed for remote and hybrid work environments. Weighing 36 grams, it features an origami-inspired design that collapses completely flat to just 6.5mm thickness while maintaining a standard mouse footprint when unfolded. The device transforms from flat to ergonomic curved shape with a simple snap, using folding principles rather than mechanical hinges to ensure durability through thousands of folds. It includes standard mouse functions with quiet mechanical buttons and a scroll pad. The unibody construction uses vegan leather with fabric-like texture that is sweat-resistant and impact-absorbent, eliminating fragile joints and complex moving parts.
