Microsoft Wireless Touch Mouse Review
@SonofNun @ScrappinMichele Congrats! Awesome!
When I first received the Microsoft Wireless Touch Mouse, I’ll admit, I thought it was interesting looking and I couldn’t figure out how it was going to change how I use a mouse. Well, I was wrong.
I plugged in the Microsoft Touch Mouse, installed the software and watched the demo. Interesting! I spent the next few hours trying the mouse out. It took some getting used to, but now I really like it. The motions are different from any mouse I’ve used. There are 1, 2, & 3 finger gestures both vertically & horizontally.
Microsoft Touch Mouse Demo
This video is a good demo of the Touch Mouse.
I really like the way it feels in my hand. It fits perfectly and the dots on the mouse give it a nice texture. My biggest problem was that I would forget that I could do things on the mouse and I would do them the way I normally do. For example, the maximize and minimize of windows. I keeping using the square and x and not sweeping 2 fingers up or down.
Art of Touch
The Microsoft Touch Mouse is designed to work with Windows 7. Microsoft is having an Art of Touch sweepstakes now. Through February 4, 2012, create a design at the Art of Touch and you could win weekly prizes or the Grand Prize and Be a Featured Artist along with a bundle of gear which includes a Touch Mouse and Sony laptop.

Touch mouse looks cool. My next gadget will be a Touch Mouse!
Personally, I want one of those ideapads or a small, portable laptop. Mine is the worst!

The mouse looks neat! My next gadget will be a replacement for my Logitech 880 remote, which is starting to flake out.

I would have to say that I would get the Microsoft Touch mouse. I am in need a new mouse. I use a Microsoft wireless one now but this one looks very cool and I’m always up for trying new things.
I want a Canon Powershot 300HS! 😀

I’d probably switch out my old skool Kindle for a new Fire. I think I have a Kindle 2.0. I never fail to touch the screen to try to make a selection only to recall I need to use the arrows and keyboard. I wasn’t aware of this new mouse (these new mice?) so thanks for the heads up. Best wishes for 2012!

If I were to go out to buy a gadget, it would either be the Microsoft Touch Mouse, or an external hard drive for backing up data.
I would rock one of these bad boys!! However, I would install Windows 8! http://www.bing.com/shopping/samsung-xe700t1a-a03us-series-7-slate-tablet-pc-intel-core-i5/p/3FA787504F533FE35020?q=samsung+series+7+windows+tablet&lpq=samsung%20series%207%20windows%20tablet&FORM=HURE

I have most of the gadgets I really want, but I miss having one more and that is a “Samsung Series 7 Slate”, that I really, really want!
Any gadget?
A Traktor S4, of course!
Also, tweeted!
