Is that a mouse in your pocket, or --- (you know the rest, right?)

Pocket Mouse the brags that it's a wireless optical mouse you hold like a pen with enhanced optical technology. Really? Optical mouse technology is way older than your current (most likely) laser mouse. This optical mouse does let you work on any surface. Or at least on all the surfaces I tried. The pen design is fatter than most pens I've used and feels really cheap. (It's mostly plastic.) Even though the company says you can use it effortlessly and accurately write, click swipe and scroll, I thought the performance was on the clunky side. And the "Just flip it over and it doubles as a stylus" isn't so amazing because a stylus is really cheap. It is small enough to fit in your pocket! But comfortable enough, I don't think so. There's no extra software required and that was true. I just plugged the USB 2.4 dongle and it loaded its own software. It said to be compatible with desktops, laptops and USB-enabled tablets, and works from up to 30 feet away. Reviews are so-so, and most agree a computer mouse is much easier to use. However, If you where on an airplane and wanted to use this as a mouse on the tiny snack tray, maybe it would be good for that. But I'm sticking with my mouse. Requires 1 AAA battery not included.
