There are some of us out there who feel far more comfortable working on a touchpad than with a mouse since we have already gotten used to the idea, but there is also another camp which thinks otherwise, and cannot work on a notebook if there is no mouse accompanying it. The thing is, notebook mice these days tend to be wireless and have gotten rather small in size for the sake of portability, but they are still not exactly tiny enough to pack without taking up no extra net space in your luggage.
Enter this conceptual foldable mouse which will actually unfold into the form factor of a disc, letting you stash it away into your optical drive whenever you travel. Seems to be a decent enough idea, until one realizes that these days, there are a fair number of notebooks from the Ultrabook range that do not come with any kind of optical drive due to the slimming down design process, making this particular idea viable for older generation notebooks, or for folks who prefer to purchase entry level notebooks.

They say that gaming mice are dime a dozen, and the saying is definitely true. So many gaming companies have already come up with their own iteration of the gaming mouse in the past, and there has been some hits and misses, definitely. Some folks might prefer to remain loyal to a certain brand such as Logitech or Razer, while others prefer to give a go with different kinds of brands when their current gaming mouse goes belly up due to the amount of abuse – or rather, number of clicks that was subjected to it.
