Newton Peripherals' MoGo Mouse uglies up your netbook, hates your trackpad
It's one thing to sacrifice style for battery life via an extended cell, but it's another thing entirely to do this to your poor, innocent netbook. Newton Peripherals is causing all sorts of mixed emotions with its $99 MoGo Mouse, a stick-on mouse that measures in at five millimeters thick (including the holster). Granted, most netbook trackpads aren't worth the curiously textured material they're constructed from, but this just seems like an awfully short-sighted solution. After all, do you honestly think the average eBayer will be into buying a netbook with a mouse-infused lid? Doubtful.
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.[Via Tech Digest]
Hands-on with the MoGo Mouse and MoGo Dapter
Over at ShowStoppers at CES we spotted MoGo's Mouse and Dapter and snapped a few for your pleasure. The MoGo Mouse's claim to fame is its PC-card slot based design which can fold up and be hidden within ExpressCard 54 and regular old PC card slots. Also on show was the MoGo Dapter which, we can tell you, is one extremely small Bluetooth dongle. Check out our gallery at the link below. Hands-on with the MoGo Mouse and MoGo Dapter
