Logisys 2.4GHz Wireless

Spend just five minutes with the Switchable Mouse, and it's apparent that Logisys didn't set out to do anything too fancy with this input device except give users an attractive, affordable option that will work as easily with a notebook as with a desktop Pc. My guess is, however, you'll be more inclined to permanently match the mouse with your notebook. Overall, the rodent's diminutive size lends itself far bet­ter as an option during those times when the prospect of using a touchpad for long periods just isn't that appealing. Picture a baseball that's been cut in half and you have a good idea about the Switch­able Mouse's size and shape. Its light weight makes it a great fit for a notebook bag,

but the mouse got lost in my largish hand when I used it for long stretches with a desktop Pc. The mouse is a looker, though. My test unit was decked out in silver and white trimmings complete with reflective chrome covering the backside. Models are also available in black/silver, green/white, and red/black.

 

the tiny, nickel-sized nano RF transceiver that makes wireless use possible. A couple features worth noting include a button on top to switch between 800dpi and 1,600dpi. I preferred the 1,600dpi option in all my usage. Elsewhere, although the scroll wheel lacks horizontal scrolling, you can move between a Hyper-Fast mode for scrolling long documents and Web pages and a Click-to-Click mode when you need more precision. If you desire more beyond this, you'll need to look elsewhere, as what you're getting here is a basic mouse that's ready to use immediately upon plugging in the transceiver
