HP X7000 Wi-Fi Review
HP X7000 Wi-Fi is a decent mouse with nice features like one click Facebook sharing, Wi-Fi connectivity, smooth touch scrolling and ergonomic, lightweight design. It transmits a pairing signal through wireless network for liberating precious USB ports for other devices. Enjoy the perfect combination of high-end performance, all-day comfort and futuristic design with X7000 Touch Mouse that connects through your computer's built-in Wi-Fi receiver. It frees up USB ports by pairing via wireless adapter, however the accident prone design and hypersensitive touch dial make it frustrating to use.
The increasing number of devices, which use USB for charging, pairing and activating wireless connection can produce a traffic jam of dongles, which forces you to select between peripherals. The HP [...]

Microsoft Arc Touch – Clever Design
The all new Microsoft Arc Touch could be envy for most of the mice that have been designed for constant carrying. The Microsoft Arc Touch conceals some smart ideas in its sleek black, and the one that impressed us most is that fact that the device is flat when it’s not in use.
The best thing here is that when you bend the mouse into shape, it will turn it on, and as you turn it flat it will get turned off. The power for the mouse comes from two AAA batteries which are rather easy to fit in.
The Microsoft Arc Touch connects wirelessly to the computer by means of a supplied adapter which gets attached to a USB socket and, when the mouse is not being used it’s held back in its place magnetically.
The Microsoft Arc Touch works on Windows XP, and [...]

Genius Micro Traveler 900BT – Not For People Having Large Hands
The modern laptops are equipped with a wide assortment of touchpads, and while those touchpads saves the burden of carrying an extra gadget, we just don’t think that they always are the most comfortable way of moving the screen pointer.
To help you get over this problem we have the Genius Micro Traveler 900BT, which is an incredibly small, targeted towards a wide range of notebook users. The mouse measures around 7.4cm long and weighs almost as a big match box.
Setting up the Genius Micro Traveler 900BT for Mac OS X 10.4 and Windows 7 and later, was rather easy. The disc for the mouse comes with drivers for Windows XP (Service Pack 2 and further editions) are also offered with the device.
The Genius Micro Traveler 900BT was quick in moving the [...]

Razer Naga Epic mouse – Lots of customization
Razer is a big name in the world of mice and they have some excellent gaming mice in the past. This one is meant for massively multiplayer online games. The games like Rift, Eve Online, and World of Warcraft involve a lot of complex control schemes and it is a good idea to have mouse having 12 programmable keys for a quicker access to the different commands. You need some practice and also a special interest for controlling such mice. The price tag of Razer Naga Epic mouse costs $130 and I don’t think that the layout of the button is really good. The features overall aren’t as good some of the bigger mice like Cyborg R.A.T. 9. That said, MMO players will still like the attempt made by Naga Epic for giving some controls. I would recommend this mouse only to the MMO players [...]

Logitech G5 laser mouse – Plenty of customizable options
Logitech G5 laser mouse is made for gamers with sensitive fingers. The cost of this device is $90 and this will surely improve your gaming experience. I would recommend the pointer even to people who don’t play a lot of games as there are some handy customization options which will be useful.
The Logitech G5 laser mouse, just like the Logitech MX100 Laser Cordless Mouse has Agilent’s LaserStream laser sensor. But the sensor on G5 is new and it is also twice as sensitive as that on the MX1000 at 800 dpi vs. 2,000 dpi or dots per inch. Logitech had an exclusive deal with Agilent which expired this year so I am expecting a lot of other laser mice in the market now but not all of them will be as good as the G5.

Microsoft Arc Touch – Touch sensitive scroll area
Microsoft Arc Touch looks like a very high end mouse made for people who yearn for luxuries. It costs $70 and because of the design, I won’t recommend this as a replacement to a standard desktop pointer. This device is targeted at style conscious people or for those who are crazy about gadgets. The Arc will certainly attract a lot of stares with the hollowness and sexy curve.
Microsoft Arc Touch doesn’t have any scroll wheel in the middle and you just get two buttons. Between these buttons, there is a touch sensitive zone which acts just like a scroll wheel. The mouse also vibrates when you touch this zone and it has been done to give you tactile feedback which is always a good feature to have in touch sensitive zones like these.
The pointer also comes with an acceleration function [...]

Apple Mighty Mouse (wireless) – Sans the cord
Apple Mighty Mouse has now shed its cord and this reason might be enough for you to go and buy it. You surely can't complain that the mouse runs on batteries and the $69 price tag too is quite affordable. If this isn't enough for you, the new Apple mouse comes with new laser sensor technology. Why would you buy a cord mouse while traveling? Apple has also fixed some of the problems that I saw on the corded version. This doesn't mean that the mouse is now perfect, there are still some issues. But they certainly are not deal breakers and Mac users will now find it hard to resist this device.
Apple Mighty Mouse is uses Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. All new MacBook Pros, MacBooks, Mac Minis and iMacs have Bluetooth built in. Connecting this mouse to my MacBook Pro was really easy, and [...]

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 (teal blue)
Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is the latest wireless mouse offering by the manufacturer. It has lots of features of the Explorer Mini but this product is cheaper by $20. Mobile Mouse 4000 costs $40 and is based on Bluetrack sensing technology. The highlight of this is that you can use it on almost any surface. This mouse may not be as ergonomic as others but this device does solve a host of issues that were seen on its predecessor. This pointer is not ambidextrous which means it can be used on either right or left hands (with the same comfort) and the power button is also there now. I would certainly recommend the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 if you are looking for a travel mouse.
This mouse is a based on simple plug and play design and you don't have to go through any hassles [...]

Logitech Wireless Mouse M505 – Lacks thumb buttons
This is the latest mouse offering from the stables of Logitech, it costs dollar fifty and comes with three color options for red, gray and black. It is one of the first device from the manufacturer to come with Logitech's Unfying technology which lets you hook up six devices to a single USB dongle. The main advantage of this is that you get more free USB ports on your computer but to take full advantage of this, you will have to buy only Logitech's peripherals. This pointer is quite comfortable and accurate but it costs $50 and for this price, I expected a few thumb buttons. If you are looking for a wireless mouse for carrying along with your laptop, I will recommend you to go for Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 which costs $10 less and offers the same features.

Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX – Works on glass
Logitech has got us the Anywhere Mouse MX along the new Darkfield laser sensor which is supposed to work on almost all the surfaces and this includes nonmirrored glass. This is Logitech’s reply to Microsoft’s BlueTrack laser tracking technology. This mouse also has new Unifying technology which lets you connect six compatible devices through a single USB dongle. Both these features increase the functionality of the mouse but I can’t recommend this heavily at a price of $80. There is a cheaper alternative to this, Microsoft’s Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 which costs $40 and works well on most of the surfaces too.
Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX is meant for travelers and is almost similar to Logitech Performance Mouse MX except for a few differences. Anywhere MX is a bit small and hence [...]
