IOGear Takes Laser on the Road with Mini Mouse

July 29th, 2005

Mobile professionals are no longer confined to using bulky mice or laptop trackpads with IOGEAR’s new Mini Travel Laser Mouse. This laser mouse works on virtually any surface, including wood tables, Formica counters and opaque glass.

The mouse uses Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) as its light source, which allows for superior tracking capabilities. The laser offers 30 time better tracking power than standard optical mice. The IOgear Mini Travel Laser Mouse features a retractable cable for convenience and to cut mobile clutter. Performance is pegged at 1600 dpi resolution, which should be more than adequate for gaming. The mouse is ergonomically contoured with a right-handed bias.

Our readers may be aware that Logitech offered the first laser mouse recently, but IOGear gives you the benefits of laser for road warrior use in a more compact form factor. The Mini Travel Laser Mouse is available now for a recommended price of $49.95.
