Microsoft House Mouse with Built-In Laser
Billed by Microsoft as a revolutionary ‘Industrial design’ for road warriors, the new Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 does indeed manage to pack in an inordinate number of flashy features into its sleek comfy-grip body.
They include Bluetooth connectivity, flip it over and there are buttons for flipping presentations back, forward, and full screen; there’s a built-in laser pointer and it comes with a multimedia remote control utility, compatible with Windows Media Player, iTunes, Real Player, for controlling play, pause, track change and volume.
Best of all it comes with its own custom mouse house, well a carry case, for the mouse and transceiver. It goes on sale in the US next month and is expected to cost under $100 (around £53), and probably a bit less once the on-line sellers get hold of it.
