ASUS’s new multi-touch mouse, called the VivoMouse, is bringing us a step closer to the future. Similar to Apple’s Magic Mouse, the VivoMouse is wireless and thinner in shape, but the ASUS chose aluminum as its material to exude a space gadget-type look. The mouse’s track pad can read complex gestures, like pinching to zoom, rotate or open the menu toggle.
The mouse has a wide circular touch pad on it; this is where you scribble multi-touch gesture commands. It can be used as a conventional mouse as well, but it would make a good wireless controller for living-room targeted systems.
Alongside the mouse, ASUS also offers the VivoPC to pair the VivoMouse; a compact, aluminum PC that is ideal for HD video streaming.
