MoGo: the most desired mouse

How much innovation can be unleashed around computer mouse design? For years we have been experiencing various designs, the old faithful rolling ball is gone and replaced by optical sensors with LEDs or even lasers. Cords are gone replaced by proprietary radio protocols or standard Bluetooth. Mice have wheels, multiple buttons, touch pads, but... let me as you a question? First, do you use a notebook? If yes, do you feel absolutely comfortable with its touchpad or pointer stick? Or do you prefer to use a mouse whenever possible? I guess the latter is the case. But do you carry your mouse everywhere where the notebook goes? Why not? Ahh.. it is bulky. OK. Other obstacles? I see... it is a wireless one and its USB transceiver is bulky. Fine, get yourself a Bluetooth mouse, you won't need any external transceiver. Anything else? Still too big to fit in your briefcase?

If you are a frequent traveler, you probably face the same dilemmas as I do. Despite using IBM Lenovo Thinkpad (that implies the best pointer stick on the Planet), I prefer to use a mouse. But my favorite Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth is too big to fit in my everyday briefcase and all the others I tried were not small and comfortable enough to carry around. Until MoGo.

MoGo is the most innovative mouse I have ever had. It is the size of a PC-Card and sits in an appropriate slot when not used (recharging its batteries). When needed, you pull it out, unfold it and... it is really hard to explain how comfortable it is (it definitely does not look like it was comfortable). I have been really, really surprised how well it fits my hand and how precisely it tracks the surface. Ordering the MoGo nine months ago, I thought it would be more of a gadget than the mouse I would use. The fact is, since it arrived a few days ago, I have used it a lot. Looks like the notebook mouse problem is solved for good now. The only thing I would suggest for version two is to incorporate a Synaptics ScrollStrip emulating the scroll wheel - same as in the Logitech V500. Other than that it is the perfect notebook mouse.
