Microsoft is releasing a new mouse on the 9th of next month and the only hint the company is giving is “Say Goodbye To Laser”. From the looks of it, it would be a new mouse technology but no detailed information has come up yet.
The 3M (Microsoft Mystery Mouse) caught my attention and I really want to know what’s "new’ on this upcoming mouse from Microsoft. Would it be like the one in Apple’s Mac Air? Or maybe a wii-mote motion sensing device? Or maybe we’re going back to the good-old ball mice again. 
I guess we just need to wait until September 9 to find out.

Interesting, Microsoft seems to be coming up with goods lately. First it was Photosynth, now a new mouse technology?
But they still have a long way to go if this would do anything to help the image of Vista to the public.

hmmm, let us see how that new tech in pointing device would out perform an optical mouse in terms of browsing and gaming.

Hi Lloyd, A new kind of mouse? I use a touch-pad so I’m not sure if this will do anything to laptops…I do know that I can’t seem to handle a mouse. When I wore out my touch pad on my old lap top I had to get a temp. mouse and I was all over the place, like a drunken soilder. Not kidding, sometimes I couldn’t even find the cursor…very spastic.
So we will have to wait and see what Microsoft comes up with for a mouse. I’m working on your stuff so hang in there for me, but I also have a few questions I’d love to run by you later. Great post Lloyd…oh I also want to do a post on you on my blog…I want to interview you! Will send you a few questions if you don’t mind?
P.S. todays a National Holiday/banks are closed. FYI

lankapo,
It should be better that laser when it comes with accuracy and hopefully affordable to most consumers.
Jhay,
I definitely agree with you. It will take a few more time before Vista catch up with the popularity of XP.
orgl,
From the looks of it, it will be better than a laser or optical mouse.
glorie,
Thanks also for dropping by.
Jj,
Will look forward to your email.
Touch pads are not really for me. I’m more on a mouse person.
