Newton's Mogo Mouse X54 Pro gets seriously professional

Newton, inventive maker of the ultrathin, wireless MoGo Mouse has added a new variation to its game, called the MoGo Mouse X54 Pro. Just like its Bluetooth-utilizing progenitor, the X54, the new model is a credit card-thin optical mouse meant to be stored in your open ExpressCard 54 slot, but the Pro version extends functionality by rocking double-duty as a wireless presentation remote. The mouse has a small laser pointer embedded in its front, and the top panel includes buttons for navigating through your slides, blanking screens, and switching the laser on and off. It also, of course, does mousing tasks. Available in August for £54.99, or around $112.

So are you limited on which side you can use this mouse depending on where your express card slot is located on your laptop?

Thanks for the clarification, Kevink. Too bad it's so expensive. I think this would be a great travel mouse if it actually works as described.

I have the original PCMIA version and I love it.

It connects via bluetooth and since I have built in bluetooth on my laptop it means I can just set down my laptop, pop out the mogo and start mousing away.

The biggest down side with mine is that it was before they started putting the scroll pad on the mouse...

Does anyone know if this mouse doubles as a BlueTooth adaptor ?!

If not it should. Specialy BT 2.1! or 3

Looks something good.... good enough to lose like the ultra thin usb drive

Not sure where you guys got this pricing information but I have an e-mail from the company indicating the price for the PRO model will be USD79, not USD112 as the post suggests.
