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."

    What's the point of a wireless mouse that needs the mousepad to be plugged in?

    Just go back to ball-mouse, instead of optical, and use the ball movement to power the RF?
