Marketing Summary

Quote

The Swiftpoint mouse gives you all the functions of a traditional mouse but operates next to your laptop's touchpad. It works anywhere your laptop works, so you never have to rely on a touchpad again. It’s small, wireless and goes wherever you go. You can use the Swiftpoint mouse on the palmrest next to your laptop’s touchpad, or on a desk surface just like a traditional mouse. The unobtrusive USB dock provides wireless operation and also charges the mouse. It docks the mouse magnetically securing it directly to your laptop, so when you move, you only carry one thing. If the battery goes flat, a 30-second rapid charge gives you another hour of use. Fully charged, the battery lasts for as long as 3 weeks. The Swiftpoint mouse points and clicks like a traditional mouse. Its easy-to-use scroll wheel helps you navigate through documents quickly, or zoom in for a closer look.

The Swiftpoint mouse comes with the input device itself, the USB receiver, an installation guide, and a parking accessory.

The parking accessory is clear, the text and guides are for your installation. You place it on your laptop and it has a small magnetic area that will hold the mouse while your typing. Check the video review to see how it works.

Pictures don't do this input device justice. We strongly suggest you check out the video review to get a full view of the mouse. It is really unique. Pictured here is the mouse and the USB receiver. This isn't just a standard receiver.

It serves multiple purposes. The first is for receiving. Most mice come with some sort of small receiver that fits in the mouse on the go, but this is also a mouse dock. The two metal bits on each device marry together and a magnet holds the combo together. This is how the mouse is charged and how you take the two on the go. It looks like this mouse is the 300 Series.

Since the connection is just magnetism, you can easily remove and put back the mouse on its base station without fiddling around to make sure the contacts are touching. The battery life on a charge should last for 3 weeks, but we couldn't drain it long enough to test that since we kept putting the mouse back on the dock. 30 seconds should give you an hour of use. We had the mouse working fine with a few seconds or charge. If you need it in a pinch and there is no juice, a quick charge will be fine for you needs.

Comparing to a standard CD, it is very tiny. This is a laptop mouse, after all. If you have large hands, this might not be the mouse for you. I have large (not XL) hands, and it was bordering on being too small. It was fine after use, but smaller hands are better suited for this.

The camera wasn't tilted. This is the contour of the mouse. The front of the mouse contains the two buttons. The one with the raised bump is the right click and the lower is the left click. The left click button is large enough to click for the majority of hands and the raised right click button makes it simple to click that as well.

The scroll wheel is located on the right side of the mouse. You operate it using the middle finger, but there is no scroll button for middle clicking. We always miss that feature when a mouse doesn't have it. For tiny laptop mice, this is never a deal breaker, though. There is a sensor on this side of the mouse to detect when you are gripping it. If not, the mouse shuts off to prevent false movement.

Black and red are the colors of ASE Publishing and this mouse takes those colors and it just works. The left grip is red to accent the black finish of the rest of the mouse. There is a battery and wireless indication LED on the top below the buttons.
