The cordless air mouse

Article Date: Aug 06 2007

In the world of hi-tech gadgets, pigs might not be able to fly, but mice certainly can. The Logitech MX Air rechargeable cordless air mouse is just as happy in the air or sliding along a desk, allowing you to push your chair back and navigate through content without being tied to your workstation.

For those who use their computers to listen to music or watch films, the air mouse operates like a supercharged remote control. Motion sensors allow you to control volume, for example, with a flick of the wrist to the left or right. The manufacturers claim the device is intelligent enough to disregard involuntary twitches.

Retailing at £99.99, the mouse features a touch-sensitive scroll panel in place of a traditional scroll wheel, and comes with a charging cradle. For those who really like to get away from their desks, its 10-metre range should do the trick.
