Designed to be used with a tablet, the Bluetooth wireless Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse is compact and ultra-portable. It's a great accessory to take along in your bag and use wherever you use your tablet or laptop computer. It doesn't look like your everyday mouse either -- the mouse has a distinctive wedge shape and a bevy of features that make mousing a breeze.
First up, the Wedge Mouse doesn't have any buttons -- instead it features four-way touch scrolling, so you can scroll vertically and horizontally using the touch strip. Flick up, down and side to side to navigate spreadsheets, long documents, web pages and the new features of Windows 8. Scroll slowly with a gentle swipe or quickly with a flick of the finger, then tap to stop.
This mouse was also built for high performance. It uses BlueTrack technology, which works on virtually every surface you'll come across at home, at the office, or wherever else you end up using it. Backpack mode allows the mouse to power down within 30 seconds of your PC or tablet shutting down or hibernating, so you can conserve battery life.
The Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse offers comfort, which is of supreme importance in any computing situation. The ambidextrous design allows you to use it easily in either hand, whether you're right or left-handed. It also provides a smooth and fluid Windows 8 navigation experience.
