CompuCat is a head support stand specially designed for computer work, placed in front of the keyboard, between both hands, supporting the head without affecting the use of the keyboard and mouse. The built-in bone conduction headphones allow users to listen to music while maintaining communication with colleagues during work. The pressure sensor records the duration of work, reminding users to take breaks in a timely manner. By simulating the comforting act of "stroking a cat," CompuCat adds more interactive fun to your work hours. To meet the needs of professionals for midday breaks, CompuCat also provides a comfortable desktop nap experience with a hollow design allowing arms to pass through, taking you to a different realm of office comfort!

The yellow area on the cat's head houses a built-in pressure sensor, capable of accurately recording the duration of applied pressure. It reminds users to take regular breaks by simulating cat meowing sounds. By gently stroking the yellow abdomen (housing the internal sensor) in a manner beloved by pet cats, users can easily silence the reminder sound. This innovative feature not only guides users to take periodic breaks but also provides a comforting and interactive joy similar to caring for a pet cat.

This versatile product seamlessly integrates audio playback and pillow functionalities, with its design enhancing the overall interactive experience. By utilizing bone conduction technology, it achieves audio playback that aids in work without disturbing others. Simultaneously, the hollow design cleverly avoids discomfort on the arms, ensuring users enjoy a comfortable desktop nap experience.

CompuCat's white outer shell is crafted from nylon blended with plush, offering a soft yet supportive feel, ensuring no imprints on the face during naptime. The yellow area, in contact with the skin, features environmentally friendly PU plush, enhancing the overall tactile comfort. The ears of CompuCat are made of linen fabric, and the buttons are made of PC material with a matte surface design, providing a smooth and delightful user experience.
