Microsoft Knows Mice
Microsoft has been making quality mice for about as long as there have been personal computers (well, actually it was back in the time when 386s were brand new, and Windows 3.0 had just shipped, but I digress). Back then the simple and humble mouse sported two buttons, a nice big rubber mouse ball, and a 9600 baud serial interface, and were primarially used solely for CAD and business computing with graphic interfaces. At the time any mouse was just as good as any other mouse, and they were all horrible by today's standards. As the mouse started to catch on, various manufacturers thought of new and innovative ways to make the humble rodent more responsive and ergonomic.
Flash forward to today, and Microsoft still makes some of the most innovative input devices available. Their latest product is an attempt to be so ergonomic that it is the missing link from the underside of your hand. This mouse is one of the curviest mice ever developed, and is so different that people will either like it or hate it. We take this mouse out on the virtual town to see how it stacks up.
