Microsoft Touch Mouse review

Microsoft's 'me too' gesture-controlled mouse isn't its finest hour

Striking design and unique feel ; Gestures come to Windows 7 ; Neat wireless dongle ; Better than a laptop's touchpad

Worse than most other mice ; Single clicking is frustrating ; Too easy to incur random actions

Microsoft Touch Mouse review

The Microsoft Touch Mouse offers a halfway house between traditional mouse and keyboard-, and touchscreen input. It's a wireless mouse that offers seven different touch functions through which you can swipe and gesture your way to touchy feely Windows...

We like the Touch Mouse, with some reservations. At £39 it's a solid mouse, and Microsoft input devices tend to last for a good long while. We're just not so enamoured of the gesture control, and found it a little slow.

Mice from Microsoft and Brando : TouchMouse from Microsoft & Brando Mouse with Scale

While regular readers will not be surprised that the latter does something else almost everything from Brando does, they might be more surprised that the former is far more than a standard mouse but you will need to have Windows 7.

It is available from the link below for $22 (US) plus $3 (US) whatever the size of your order

Microsoft Touch Mouse

Looking for a PC equivalent of Apple's Magic Mouse? The Microsoft Touch Mouse is it, and as unique and useful a pointing device as you'll find for Windows 7 PCs.

Offers full gesture support. Works for right- and left-handed users. Wireless. Allows hyperscrolling

Compatible only with Windows 7. Not ideal for gaming

Microsoft Touch Mouse Review

Microsoft may be best known for their operating system and Office suite, but their presence in the hardware market has been there for longer than the past decade.

Microsoft has priced the Touch Mouse at Rs. 3,999 in India. They say that the product is made for lifestyle users and therefore, there’s a very niche audience for this product. Apart from the weight and the slippery feel of the mouse, we’re quite...

Review: Microsoft Touch Mouse

Microsoft's Touch Mouse, aimed at Windows 7 users, is a direct challenge to Apple's multi-touch Magic Mouse. Apple's Magic Mouse is an uncomfortable, gimmicky device. Did Microsoft Hardware, with their history of high-quality peripherals do better?
