Microsoft Touch Mouse (Black) review: Microsoft Touch Mouse (Black)

Microsoft Touch Mouse (Black)

The ; offers intuitive touch-based navigation that complements standard mousing in Windows 7.

At $80, this mouse is only for those who are the most curious about touch-based desktop or laptop computing.

We like the Microsoft Touch Mouse for its thoughtful, complementary gestures that simplify the experience of moving in and around Windows 7 applications.

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 →

MS Touch Mouse is everything the Apple Magic mouse failed to be; it offers the best of both a mouse and touchpad with almost none of the negatives of either. If you can live with its slight learning curve and slippery body, it will make your Office-Fu...

Multi-touch sensitive touchpad built into the top of the mouse ; Short and simple learning curve ; Truly ambidextrous design ; Productivity boost for power users

Less than optimal grip areas ; Touch sensitive area can be a tad too sensitive ; Windows 7 only ; Only 1000 DPI sensitivity ; No customization of the touch commands ; Sluggish vertical scroll
