Philips SPM9800/10 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse [SPM9800 USB/Wireless Presentation Mouse with 360 Degree TouchControl]

If you make you’re living on the road making presentations you’ll know only too well how your choice of mouse and other presentation related peripherals can make the difference between slick presentations and unmitigated disasters and with that in mind Philips have just unveiled their SPM9800/10 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse which offers bother wireless and USB connectivity paired with the ability to act as a non-desk based presentation device.

The Philips SPM9800/10 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse manages to offer rather more versatility than your average mouse (except for the likes of Logitech’s MX, of course) thanks to Philips’ 360 degree TouchControl technology that’ll facilitates the mouse serving as a non-desk based presentation device allowing you to sweep through spreadsheets, PowerPoint slides and other presentations with motions of your hand whilst freed from the restraints of your (probably rather limited) working space. This grants you freedom to not only work in said limited spaces but to patrol the room menacingly as seems obligatory when one’s making presentations (if only to ensure no one’s dozing off).

Interestingly, the Philips SPM9800/10 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse will also not let you down when its internal battery is depleted as, thanks to it featuring a retracting USB cord, in the event that power levels become critical you can simply extend the USB cord and plug it in to recharge whilst it retains its usability (albeit from a wired perspective until charged sufficiently to allow for wireless operation once again).

Seemingly the ideal, all-in-one companion for presentations, the Philips SPM9800/10 Bluetooth Notebook Mouse with 360 Degree TouchControl is set to retail in Europe for around $80 though at this juncture there’s no specific word from Philips concerning dates of availability.
