Hasta La Gadget!

Thank you, Microsoft, for this unexpected deal. The little company from Redmond has introduced three mice that feature the company’s BlueTrack technology, and all three list for under $30. That’s the first time BlueTrack has been available at this price.

BlueTrack was introduced in September, 2008, and it lets the user mouse over any surface, including wood, glass, metal, and marble. As someone who’s tried it, yes, it really does work that well.

The three new mice:

• The Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 ($29.95) has an ambidextrous design and rubber side grips. It will be available in April in Lock Ness Gray and Dragon Fruit Pink (shown).
• The Wireless Mouse 2000 ($29.95) is a full-size mouse made for portable use. It has an ambidextrous design and rubber side grips, and will be available in March.
• The Comfort Mouse 4500 ($24.95) is a wired mouse for people who don’t want to worry about changing batteries. Look for it in March in Sea Blue, Poppy Red, and Strawberry Pink.
