The MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse from Logitech aspires to proved mouse pointer manipulation well in both 2D and 3D. When used on the desk, the mouse acts like most laser input devices. When lifted from the desk, it uses gyroscopic sensors allowing you to control the mouse in the air. This mouse is clearly aimed at media center PC setups given the bevy of buttons it has. The mouse has a small USB dongle which allows for a range of about thirty feet. The mouse only works in Windows XP or Vista. The Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse is available directly from Amazon for $150. |

I am a big fan of multiple monitors. I have four displays where I work and coming home to just my laptop display is tough. Windows users now have a couple of options for adding additional displays via USB 2.0. First up is the TRITTON SEE2 USB 2.0 VGA Adapter which allows for resolutions up to 1600×1200 at 16-bit color or 1152×768 at 32-bit color. You can get the the TRITTON SEE2 from Amazon for $70. There is also the Iogear USB 2.0 External VGA Video Card that can run at 1280×1024 at 24-bit color which you can buy from Amazon for $80. Last there is the USB to DVI Display Adapter at Sewell Direct that can run displays 1280×1024 at 32-bit color thanks to its 128MB of memory. It is available for preorder for $120. |

I cannot decide if the USB Mouse Calculator by Lexibook is a good combination of a numeric keypad and a mouse or too much functionality packed into one device. I am also curious as to how many if any buttons actually work with various OSes even though the product description states that it is compatible with various versions of Windows, OS X and Linux. The LCD requires a AG10 battery which is included. The USB Mouse Calculator is available from Prezzy Box for $30. |

Evoluent has released the third revision of their VerticalMouse series previously mentioned here. This latest release has been reshaped to accommodate more hand sizes and has small flange to prevent the pinkie finger from dragging on the mousing surface. The infrared sensor has been improved to “gaming grade” offering resolutions ranging from 800 to 2600 DPI and the smooth optical scroll wheel has been replaced with one that clicks. The electrical system has been completely redesigned for improved reliability. There are a few groups of folks that have been left out of this iteration. There is no left-handed version of the Vertical Mouse 3 and there is no Mac driver for any of the Vertical mice so only only two buttons and the scroll wheel function in OS X. The Vertical Mouse 3 is available directly from Evoluent for $80. |
