The Explorer Touch Mouse (Black) from Microsoft features laser-like accuracy that works on almost any surface--even carpet. The wireless mouse is ideal for travel and requires no cords or cables. Its ergonomic yet compact design makes it easy to use without straining your hand or wrist. The thumbnail-sized transceiver is small enough that you can leave it plugged into your computer even in transport, so the mouse will be ready for use as soon as you turn on the computer. Alternatively, you can stow the transceiver in the mouse itself. The mouse features 5 customizable buttons which can be assigned to specific tasks, such as cut and paste, or specific programs, such as task manager or a media player.

Comments about Microsoft Explorer Touch Mouse (Black):
Right-click does not work most of the time for left handed use. If I move Touch Mouse to right hand it almost always works on right-clicks. Hoping a firmware update will help...

Comments about Microsoft Explorer Touch Mouse (Black):
It's a beautiful product. Sleek, elegant, easy to maneuver. Feels good in the hand. The top and bottome buttons on the middle button are NOT EASY to use. They don't perform with ease or accuracy. If you're patient, it's a great product. If you move quickly on your keyboard, and around your various computer functions, only buy this mouse if you have an easy return policy, as it's a coin toss.
