First of all, a bit of a confession \u2013 I don\u2019t actually own a laptop.\u00a0 Or a Netbook.\u00a0 No, I\u2019m one of those dinosaurs who prefers to stick with a desktop rather than going for the lighter, more portable, more aesthetically pleasing option.\u00a0 And the main reason why is a bit embarrassing to admit \u2013 I just don\u2019t like having to use touchpads to navigate across the screen.\u00a0 Don\u2019t even get me started on those little red dot thingies.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s the option of just carrying a mouse around with you \u2013 and now that it\u2019s easy to get a wireless mouse<\/a>, you don\u2019t even need the faff of plugging it into the USB everytime.\u00a0 But a normal mouse is a bit bulky to carry about all the time \u2013 not to mention, you often don\u2019t have quite enough space to use one on the go, for example when you\u2019re on a train balancing on a flip-down tray, or in bed, or resting the laptop on your lap.<\/p>\n

And it seems that I wasn\u2019t the only person with this problem, so SwiftPoint have created a new award-winning mouse <\/strong>which is free of wires, small enough to take wherever you go and more efficient than a touchpad.<\/p>\n

The SwiftPoint Mouse<\/a> <\/strong>is absolutely tiny, but comfortable and intuitive with an easy-to-use pen-like grip.\u00a0 It has advanced scrolling, paging and zooming functions, letting you navigate around your laptop screen with perfect accuracy, and is more efficient than a touchpage by 30-40%.<\/p>\n

Best of all, it\u2019s small enough to use on top of your laptop just alongside the trackpad, meaning that you can use it wherever you are \u2013 even if there\u2019s no available surface.\u00a0 And the increase in accuracy\u00a0 means that it would be perfect for any requiring detailed movements, such as Photoshop design or gaming.<\/p>\n

The SwiftPoint Mouse has won several awards which recognise its intuitive and innovative design, including Winner of Popular Science in the Best of What\u2019s New Awards<\/strong> and an Innovations Award from CES Design and Engineering Program Computer Peripheral 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To charge the mouse up, you just connect it to the equally teeny SwiftPoint dock; a USB dock with super-charge function, which will give you another full hour\u2019s usage from just 30 seconds\u2019 charge.<\/p>\n
