Mouse Uses RFID Instead of Batteries

Posted by Zonk on from the bluetooth-concept-replacement dept.

ValourX writes "NewsForge (part of OSTG, like Slashdot) has a review of a mouse that is powered by RFID (and yes, it works with Linux). It's cordless and uses no batteries -- you just have to keep the mouse within 2 inches of the mousepad for it to work. What else could be powered by RFID?"

    It may use a variation of RFID hardware to accomplish the task...but yeah, RFID is not central to the operation of the device and I too have seen, used, and own similar technology over the years.
