Zero Distractions
Logitech G is a solidified giant in the gaming peripheral industry, known for its performance driven design and technological innovation. Backed by decades of engineering expertise, Logitech G continues to push the boundaries of precision and responsiveness, creating tools that elevate competitive play across all platforms.
Design Language
Logitech G’s design language consists of sleek curvatures paired with bold geometry, creating forms that feel both ergonomic and performance driven. Textured tactile surfaces are used throughout to enhance grip and control, while reinforcing a technical, competitive aesthetic that communicates its identity.

1. Performance
Suggested a design should remain strongly performance driven, with precision at the core, reinforcing accuracy, control, and reliability as essential values.
3. Innovation
Proposed a more vertical hand posture to increase comfort and reduce strain, improving ergonomics and safety without sacrificing control or precision.
2. Comfort
Stated how comfort supports long-term performance by reducing fatigue, leading to greater consistency, control, and sustained accuracy over time.
4. Familiarity
Recommended maintaining a sense of familiarity to help users transition smoothly to new interactions while preserving confidence, control, and ease of use.
Recommendation
Satellite suggested exploring the vertical “mouse” route further, noting that while there are clear ergonomic benefits, there are currently no effective options available in that market.
Research
Keeping your hand in a palm-down mouse position poses long-term health risks
“Sustained, repetitive mouse use places stress on wrist joints, increasing inflammation and the risk of developing arthritis over time.”
— Arthritis Foundation
What is the optimal position?
Keeping your hand in a vertical, natural position, improves comfort and reduces long-term injury and overuse.
Standard
180 degree orientation
Vertical
~70 - 90% degree orientation
Design Statement
There needs to be an advancement in how users interact with a “mouse,” allowing for a vertical hand posture that supports long-term safety and comfort while still evolving interaction methods for faster, more precise control.
Innovations
Advanced gaming keyboards use Hall effect technology to sense magnetic forces with greater accuracy. This allows keys to actuate faster and more consistently than traditional mechanical switches.
This project applies a similar principle by using muscle-activation sensors in the wrist to enable faster, more responsive inputs and provide a performance advantage. EMG wrist sensors are strategically placed to track muscle signals as they are activated.
SKETCH PROCESS
Reviving Braun's Legacy
I designed the earcup shape with simplicity and followed Braun's "form follows function" design philosophy

I finalized the earcup shape and drew inspiration from heritage Braun products to design the headband connection
I then completed the connection between the earcup and headband
Prototype
CONTECTIVE OPENNESS
The Concept
Opening the front and back of the headphones connects users to the outside world, enabling them to hear bodily cues, trust their surroundings, and stay engaged with their activity.
The iris mechanism on the back adjusts to block or allow outside noise by using a ring on the outside, giving users control over their sound environment.
PROTOTYPING STUDY
Usage Insights
I studied how the ear fits with the earcups and discovered the need for different taper angles to ensure a proper fit
