"Creative work demands tools that are both precise and intuitive, but most input devices stick to the same formulas that have existed for decades. You've got your mouse, maybe a graphics tablet, and countless keyboard shortcuts to memorize. The result is a workflow that feels fragmented, forcing you to juggle multiple devices instead of focusing on actual creative decisions. The id360 TOUCHSTONE concept imagines a different approach entirely."
"Designer: lisostep TOUCHSTONE's form is calm and minimal, with a low, rectangular base and a prominent trackball at its center. The speckled, stone-like finish gives the device a tactile, architectural presence that feels more like a carefully chosen desk object than typical computer hardware. The gentle curves and understated silhouette are designed to complement creative workspaces without demanding constant attention."
"The LED ring surrounding the trackball provides subtle visual feedback, glowing softly to indicate active modes or parameter changes. This lighting adds personality and reinforces the device's high-tech yet elegant aesthetic. The overall design feels balanced and composed, bringing a sense of calm precision to otherwise chaotic creative environments. The large trackball offers fluid, precise cursor control perfect for scrubbing video timelines, navigating complex audio projects, or moving through detailed design files."
TOUCHSTONE combines a large central trackball, a kinetic dial, and a multi-touch zone into a single desktop device aimed at creative professionals, video editors, and music producers. The device offers fluid, precise cursor control for scrubbing timelines, navigating audio projects, and detailed design work. The kinetic dial provides haptic, incremental adjustments with tactile clicks for deliberate control. An LED ring around the trackball offers subtle visual feedback for active modes or parameter changes. The speckled, stone-like finish and calm, minimal form create an architectural desk object that complements workspaces and reduces workflow fragmentation.
