High-Tech Curvaceous Mice

The Microsoft Touch Mouse Provides Convenience in Style

— March 7, 2011 — Tech
The Microsoft Touch Mouse for Windows 7 is all about convenience, making it so that the user hardly has to lift a finger. The sleek curvy mouse is simple, incredibly stylish, and isn't just another technological piece of eye candy.

Those familiar with the multi-touch function will know that all it takes are your fingers to navigate the computer. The Microsoft Touch Mouse shows that Microsoft can integrate this technology onto its own products just as well as Apple can. One finger lets you scroll through windows. Two fingers will snap, maximize/minimize windows and three will open windows or reveal the desktop. With everything controlled from the tip of your fingers -- literally -- finishing work on the computer will get done a lot faster.

The Microsoft Touch Mouse is available at $80.
