SwiftPoint Wireless Laptop Mouse

My blog for this week is about the SwiftPoint Laptop Mouse. This mouse is used for laptop users who are tired of using the touchpad on their laptop. To use this mouse, you can put the mouse on any surface on the laptop. It has a right click, left click button and a scroll wheel, just like a regular mouse. It has a USB to where the mouse can be charge up. When it is completely charged, it can be used up to two to four weeks. Even if it's just charge for 30 seconds, it can be use up to a hour.
How did this mouse come about? In 2008, software engineer and founder of SwiftPoint, Grant Odgers found that laptops can be very inaccurate and inefficient substitute for a regular mouse. He got some of his friend to invest in his idea to work on "a concept for a small, portable mouse that could actually be used on your laptop surface itself."

But like any other technology, there are some pros and cons.

Pros

• Tiny but surprisingly comfortable
• Useful scrollwheel features
• Works well as a wireless presentation remote

Cons

• Right-handed use only
• Not as comfortable as a full-size mouse
• Customization options limited

The Operated Systems that supports this mouse are:
Windows 7^®Windows Vista^®Windows^® XP
Windows^® 2000
Mac OS^® 10.4 or higher
This mouse cost between $60-$85. I think that this will be something that I would be interested in buying if I had a laptop.
