Swiftpoint Mouse For Laptops
While the price might put some people off, the Swiftpoint Mouse has true innovation that makes it well worth the money. There is no software required for full feature use.

Use



The mouse is a real treat to use on the go. This is one of those products that doesn't bother playing "me too" against any other company. What we have here is genuine innovation and the market should pay attention. Features that this mouse boasts work, and they work well. No software is needed to change the orientation, or to do page scrolling.

The speed of the mouse is good. It is 1000 DPI, so it won't be too fast to control. It also should be able to control the entire screen on a tiny laptop surface without picking up and moving all over the place.

Ergonomically, the mouse feels good. Even on bigger hands, it works well after a bit of use. Smaller hands would be better for this type of mouse, but you can't please everyone. The charging USB receiver is a great idea and the battery life is remarkable. Why should we have to carry batteries for our laptop mice? It really is a problem when you run out of juice, but with the Swiftpoint, you just do a quick charge and you're good to go. All laptop mice should do this.

The scroll wheel has multiple modes. If you hold down the left click button, it acts as a zoom function (control+wheel). If you hold down the right click, it acts like a page scroll (page up or down). All of this works without software. It works in Linux just as it does in Mac or Windows. Bravo to Swiftpoint.

Conclusion

Here is where we will ding Swiftpoint a bit. The cost of the Swiftpoint Mouse is pretty high at $70 (Amazon Link). While the features it packs in are impressive, most laptop users will balk at spending this kind of money on an input device they might lose by accident. We always suggest you try the mouse before you buy, and Swiftpoint even offers a 30 day money back trial period. This is an excellent thing to offer to customers. If you don't like the way it feels, get your money back.

Still, if you\\'re a true road warrior or venture on airplanes all the time, this is a really handy input device to take with you. It just works and works well. All the features are designed in a good way and it is good when a product takes everything and makes it work without you having to think about it. We are happy with the innovation that Swiftpoint has done with this product. Hopefully other manufacturers will stop playing the "me too" game and throw some more innovation in their products. We recommend the Swiftpoint Mouse for laptop use.

ASE Labs would like to thank Swiftpoint for making this review possible.
