Wireless Mouse with no Batteries

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nothing-better-to-post-thanksgiving dept.

GI Joe writes "Hardcoreware.net have posted a review of a mouse with no batteries; it receives its charge through induction from the USB powered mousepad. Of course this means you must use the mouse on this mousepad, taking away some of the big advantages of a wireless mouse. However, they said that the mouse is otherwise very accurate, and has no lag at all since it uses RFID."

    I'm going back to a wired mouse because they're lighter. No need to further punish my wrists with the weight of a dynamo and the friction of one or more geared balls.

    A mouse pad with an induction coil eh? sounds like a great diskette/ZIP/hard-disk eraser to me...
