Hey Targus! Welcome to the Macintosh party. It’s nice here and full of well designed products that just work.
Anyway, Targus’ new line includes two new wireless mice, a USB hub, wireless presenter, USB file transfer device, privacy screen and finally, a cool mat. The mice are up for pre-order with the 2.4GHz model going for $50 and the Bluetooth-powered for $70. The wireless presenter is currently available with a price tag of $80 with the chill mat carrying a $50 price tag. Really, there isn’t anything special ’bout these new items, just the repackaging in Macintosh complementary style.
I’d say that the fact that the mouse uses a touch panel instead of the ball is a pretty big deal. I’m not aware of any other mice that currently use a miniature touch panel to accomplish the 4-way movement achieved with the roller ball on the Mighty Mouse.
I JUST had to replace my old bluetooth Mighty Mouse because of all the crud that builds up under the roller ball. I keep my work area very clean, but it’s just inevitable. I tried all the tips/tricks out there for cleaning it, but it finally gave up the ghost.
