Prolo Ring – Innovative alternative to the computer mouse

The Prolo Ring is a novel, lightweight wearable device that serves as a mouse replacement, featuring an innovative finger-based control concept. Worn on the index finger, it combines a thumb-operated trackpad with a 6-axis motion sensor that recognizes over 40 programmable air gestures. 

These features enable the user to precisely control the cursor, click, scroll, zoom, and operate other computer functions—all without needing to take their hands off the keyboard.

Gesture control allows users to, for example, flip through presentations, control media, or execute macros. The Prolo Ring is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

 Weighing only about 5 grams, the ring is very comfortable to wear and connects to devices via Bluetooth. According to the manufacturer, the battery lasts up to eight hours, and both the standard and Pro models include a charging case.

Who would benefit from the Prolo Ring?

• For users who work extensively with the keyboard and want to minimize hand-to-mouse movement.
• For presenters, media users, or creatives who want to use macros/shortcuts.
• Less suitable for: Individuals with extremely high demands for pointer precision, classic gamers, and CAD users.

Especially for everyday tasks, presentations, and games, the Prolo Ring offers an intuitive and creative control option. It is recommended as a complement to the mouse for high-precision applications such as CAD or image editing. The ring was recently successfully funded via Kickstarter and is expected to ship starting in December 2025. However, backers should be aware of the usual risks associated with crowdfunding projects.

Overall, the Prolo Ring represents a promising and elegant advancement in computer control, capable of complementing or partially replacing conventional mice. Price: approximately $7-$14. For further information, you can visit proloring.com
