Gadget of the Week
Kensington PilotMouse Laser wireless mini
Pros
Uses laser for even greater precision and fluidity in use
Wireless operation
Stylish appearance
Good ergonomics
Easily used by right or left handed people
Two year warranty as standard
Cons
Consumes batteries
Plug in wireless receiver takes up a potentially valuable USB port on your computer unlike those that utilise for example Bluetooth
The 2.4GHz frequency utilised could suffer from interference to or by other 2.4Ghz devices
Non visible laser means its easy to forget mouse switched on
The MouseWorks software needed to configure the mouse isnt provided on a disk with the mouse, instead it has to be downloaded
Price: c £25 inc. VAT
Star Rating: 7 Stars A good mouse, although my preference is for a good wired mouse
