This mouse seizes 61x53x23mm. The wedge shape and sleek design makes it seems difficult to use. However, the appearance may deceive you as this device brings you satisfaction immediately.

With a stable on/off switch, Wedge Touch Mouse can stay in your pocket all day long, waiting to connect with a Windows 8 PC. Its metal/plastic combined surface feels like something that you want to own and care. The device also feels as if you can carry it along for days without worrying of any damage.

Nice touches include the way a flick of the battery switch flips and open the metallic side of the device to reveal the single AA battery slot.

BlueTrack technology lets the device be used on any surface, including matt, sofa and train floor in our tests.

Instead of using either touchpad or touchscreen, the mouse’s top surface becomes your touch input device. And in place of a scroll wheel, you will drag finger down to the drain separating Wedge Touch Mouse. It works well.

Scrolling horizontally with Wedge appears appropriate while using all Windows 8 components except for the Desktop.

The input provides a combination of mouse and touchscreen.
