This Portable Mouse is Flat-Out Unusual

My fingers, I'm happy to say, have always had the ability to adjust on the fly for whatever input devices I'm using. So I've never carried a mouse with my notebook. But I know plenty of people who hate touchpads with a passion and want a real mouse with 'em at all times. And the MoGo Mouse, unveiled here at CES, caters to their needs in a way that's certainly imaginative.

Rather than taking up room in a briefcase, the MoGo fits in a notebook's PC Card slot, drawing power from the slot to recharge itself. It's a Bluetooth model, so--assuming that your notebook is suitably equipped--there's no tranceiver needed.

Pop it out, and you can flip out a kickstand that gives it a bit of height. It remains a very small, flat mouse, not much bigger than a credit card. But it seemed to work reasonably well when I gave it a quick try.

The MoGo is $70, and will be available in March.
