Cherry's Stream Mouse Ultimate wins Red Dot design award
Cherry has received the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2026 for its Stream Mouse Ultimate, recognising the wireless mouse's design.
The device was cited for its ergonomics, feature set and Cherry's ProScroll technology, which lets users choose from four pre-configured scrolling profiles. It also works with Cherry Utility software, allowing users to fine-tune settings and save custom profiles locally.
The Stream Mouse Ultimate is the latest addition to Cherry's Stream range, which combines design, ergonomic comfort and practical features. Red Dot judges, around 40 international experts, assess entries on factors including functionality, aesthetics, innovation and overall product concept.
Design focus
The mouse is shaped to support a natural hand position during extended use and includes a textured thumb rest for added stability. It also features multiple customisable buttons, built-in DPI switching and profile switching, aimed at users who move between different tasks throughout the day.
Quiet click mechanisms help reduce noise in shared work settings. For connectivity, the mouse can be used via Bluetooth, a wireless USB dongle or a wired connection.
Cherry positions the device as a premium office accessory with a modern appearance and accent details designed to fit contemporary desk setups. The suggested retail price is €99.99.
Broader business
Cherry makes computer input devices including keyboards, mice, microphones and headsets, alongside hardware and software products for digital healthcare. It serves office, gaming and industrial markets and has increasingly targeted hybrid work use cases across its product range.
Founded in 1953, the group is headquartered in Auerbach in der Oberpfalz, Germany. It has development, service, logistics and production operations in Germany, China and Austria, as well as sales offices in several European markets, the United States, China and Taiwan.
The Red Dot Award is among the better-known international design programmes for consumer and professional products. For hardware makers such as Cherry, recognition in design-led awards can help differentiate products in a crowded peripherals market, where suppliers compete on usability, price, brand strength and industrial design as much as on technical specifications.
The Stream Mouse Ultimate's award highlights how workplace accessory makers are trying to stand out through comfort and customisation, particularly as buyers look for devices that support long hours of use across multiple applications and work environments. In that context, features such as adjustable scrolling, programmable controls and flexible connectivity have become more prominent in product positioning across the sector.
According to Cherry, Red Dot judges found the combination of design, quality and innovation decisive in granting the Stream Mouse Ultimate the Product Design 2026 award.
