OK, I know what you\u2019re thinking.\u00a0 Could a mouse really be revolutionary?\u00a0 Perhaps you think I have been using my Waterpik SinuSense <\/a>nose washing too much and the saltine solution is going to my head.\u00a0\u00a0There could be\u00a0some truth to that!\u00a0 Nonetheless, the new Swiftpoint mouse for laptops and netbooks is very innovative.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before receiving a sample* of the Swiftpoint mouse<\/a>, I had an opportunity to talk to the CEO of and inventor of the Swiftpoint, Grant Odgers, and Marketing Manager, Georgina Hunter on a phone conference call to get their first-hand thoughts of the new mouse.\u00a0 They had told me about so many neat features and raved about the mouse.\u00a0 I have never heard so much excitement about a mouse before.<\/p>\n

Grant, like many of us, became frustrated with laptop touchpads.\u00a0 They were awkward and inconsistent.\u00a0 Grant wanted a mouse for the laptop that provided accuracy, portability, and above all be comfortable in your hand.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So in 2005, Grant started out to create the ultimate laptop\/netbook mouse.\u00a0 He conducted intensive research and began developing a prototype that will change they way we direct our laptops.\u00a0 The mouse he came up with is 30-40% faster than a touchpad.\u00a0 After a couple years of\u00a0evaluating people\u2019s\u00a0use the new mouse and five cycles of mouse\u00a0iteration, Grant is ready to introduce the Swiftpoint mouse.<\/p>\n

Once I received the new Swiftpoint mouse*, it took me no time at all to install the Swiftpoint mouse on my netbook.\u00a0 Swiftpoint created the design of the mouse to resemble how you handle a pen.\u00a0 It\u2019s a very comfortable hold and although the buttons are centered vertically on the mouse rather t\"\"<\/a>han horizontal, like most mice, it\u2019s pretty easy to get used to them.\u00a0 I love how the mouse is very light-weight and very respondable.<\/p>\n

To give it a real test, I took it with me on an hour nighttime road trip we took.\u00a0 My husband was driving and I was using the Swiftpoint on my netbook.\u00a0 It was dark, so I really couldn\u2019t see much.\u00a0 Nonetheless, I was able to work on documents and even play Spider Solitaire with ease.\u00a0 The only surface\u00a0space I had to use was the touchpad\/handrest area of my netbook \u2013 which was only 2 inches long below the keyboard.\u00a0 My previous laptop mouse\u00a0could never work on a such a small surface like the Swiftpoint mouse.<\/p>\n
