Wii Mote Style Wireless Spatial Recognition Mouse

In all honesty, for the time being at least, we remain rather unconvinced as to whether waving a wireless, motion sensing mouse around in the air is particularly preferable to the (dare we say) traditional desk bound means of cursor control – not least because we strongly suspect that such devices could prove to be rather uncomfortable with prolonged use. That said, we can see how gyroscopic equipped mice could prove invaluable in instances such as presentations where, freed of the constraints of traditional mice, these motion sensing mice will at least allow you to roam free throughout the boardroom as you deliver your monologue.

As far as day to day use is concerned, however, we remain sceptical as to whether desk bound mice will ever truly be consigned to the bottom of the filing cabinet.

Whilst by no means as breathtaking gorgeous as the previously featured Logitech MX Air gesture controlled mouse (which we would purchase if only to stare longingly at it all day) this slim device appears to be aimed squarely at laptop users, and in particular those who deliver business presentations.

The mouse, which bares more than a passing resemblance to a Wii Mote, comes with a USB based 2.4GHz receiver offering a range of up to 10 meters and an endurance of approximately 16 hours on a single 4 hour charge – though if the presentations these devices are to be used for are anything like some of the presentations I’ve had to endure one wonders whether this extended operating time is necessarily a good thing.

Coming complete with a ‘executive’ leather case and USB receiver, the Wireless Spatial Recognition Mouse would appear to be compatible with Windows based operating systems only and retails for ¥37,800 – which equates to a wallet thumping $331 / £167 / €245 at the time of writing.
