Slim Pad Mouse Replaces Scroll Wheel with a Touch Sensor

The SliMouse SlimPad doesn’t just look odd because it is a square shaped mouse, it really is pretty odd because instead of using a scroll wheel it has a sensor touch-scroll. The sensor touch-scroll claims to allow greater precision and ease of control. There are two Slim Pads available - a Model I with a wire that stores inside of the mouse when not in use. And there is a Model II which is wireless. There is no release date or pricing yet available for the Slip Pad, but it looks like it’s starting to be hip to be square.

[...] Its ergonomics may leave a bit to be desired, but the SliMouse Slim-Pad does boast at least one somewhat notable feature — namely, a “sensor touch-scroll” that replaces the tried and true scroll wheel. That, the company says, will allow for “greater precision and ease of control,” although we’re guessing that control may get somewhat less easy whether you use the mouse for protracted periods of moment. While other details on the mouse are scarce at the moment, it will apparently come in both wired and wireless versions, with the former able to store its wire on inside when its not in use. There’s additionally no word on price, and it seems the company has yet to invent its mind up about a release instance.[Via Chip Chick] [...]
