Kensington has just unloaded a slew of new "back to school" items on the world -- luckily for you, only about three of them are interesting. The first item worth your precious time is the ShareCentral ($39.99 - $79.99), a series of USB / peripheral hubs that allow you to share printers, scanners, or other USB devices amongst several computers without the typical mountain of cables. The other items of interest are the new $59.99 SlimBlade Bluetooth mouse, which is -- you guessed it -- a Bluetooth mouse / presentation remote, and the $39.99 Ci95m Wireless Mouse, a 2.4GHz input device with a "nano receiver" and rubberized exterior. Both mice are available now, the ShareCentral will be available at the end of the month.

another usb hub and bluetooth mouse...
YAY!
and the point of your comment?
not to mention sticking in those links?
what they need to do is ensure that every wireless mouse is able to recharge via USB. this way, a person can chose whether to be wired/unwired - or be able to use the mouse while it charges (like the 360's controllers)
Combination laser pointers / presentation mice are novel.
Give this man a prize.
Me I want a wireless mouse that converts heat from my hand and motion of the mouse itself into energy to charge the battery. Lolz.
Ye I know you want a mouse that works on cheese but that's too expensive.
"back to school" huh? in june? maybe for the kids who failed homeroom. this would be the perfect accessory for such overachievers.
june is the typical timing for retailers' back to school resets. companies have to have a product ready months in advance of a season in order to secure assortment at a retailer. the "holiday" season works the same way -- you have to have your product ready in sep/oct if you want it on the shelf in december.
how far the mouse can reach before losing connection?
probably 30 ft
I've never considered buying any mouse made by kensington, and this definitely won't change my mind.
Mouse is ergonomically designed for creatures with paws I'd say from the looks of it. suck for those with hands though.
E.T. was on the design team.
Would the ShareCentral work to make a USB hard drive into a pseudo-NAS? That might work for my laptop and my wife's computer to share ...
the only thing I can think of after this post is
A) ugly mice
B) I wish my logitech mx revolution had a nano reciever instead of this stick out one.
I always consider a new mouse no matter how ugly just so I don't have this damn dongle.
C) I hate bluetooth.
