Bluetooth Mouse That Stores And Charges In PC Slot

Road Warrior writes "The road warrior will appreciate the Mogo MouseBT. The Bluetooth-enabled mouse is a business-card sized mouse that stores and recharges inside your laptop's PC card slot. It will recharge in less than an hour and it will sell for $69.99. It will be interesting to see how the ergonomic of the mouse feels. The product will be introduced at CES."

It will be interesting to see how the ergonomic of the mouse feels.

Kind of like a gerbil.

Cool, but practical

I am big on ergonomic design because when programming for a living, I don't want a lousy keyboard or mouse combo to cause me pain and misery.

Most notebook mice comprimise on ergonomics for style, and I can see this one having this problem. If your debating if this mouse will work well for you, take a box of cards and rest your hand on it and move it around for a few hours. I think most people's issues from using mice is that they grip them too hard or pound on the buttons, perhaps a slim design like this one will get people used to the idea of simply resting their hand on a mouse and tapping the buttons rather then putting the mouse in a death grip.

I guess for short stints this product would work well and its nice to finally find a use for that PC Slot. Anything is better then those touch pads or track sticks in the long run.

Re:Ugh, not another charging option.

Ok, so your complaint is a mouse for use in a portable system, in this case a laptop, has a different charging mechanism? This thing charges in the PC-Card slot; it is not like you are having to carry around a whole new charger. Actually this is probably a good idea since a great majority of people nowadays do not even need the PC-Card slot for anything. Most every drive accessory you might need can be swapped with drive bays now, and there is not much need for the expansion, unless you happen to get a laptop without firewire and you really need the connection or maybe some card reader.

I think your post is sorely off topic. Did you even bother to rtfa? I mean besides the fact I would probably crush this thing it is actually somewhat useful, and more so then that ridiculously tiny travel mouse that is the size of my thumb.
