MoGo MouseBT hides in PC card slot

Re-defining the term "portability," Engadget picked up on the MoGo MouseBT, to be unvelied at the January '06 CES they'll be covering. Ergonomics aside, this looks like a slick little Bluetooth mouse that can stow away in a PC card slot - which means 12" PowerBook and iBook owners will still have to resort to a good ol' fashioned bag (or pants) pocket for storage. But how cool would a mouse like this be? Hopefully it'll have better accuracy than other BT mice I've used. Aside from Apple's, I've tried one from Logitech and another from MacMice and neither of them held a candle to the accuracy and response of Apple's Bluetooth mouse, which still didn't match a true blue chorded mouse.

Who knows, maybe '06 will be "The Year of the Bluetooth Mouse."

"neither of them held a candle to the accuracy and response of Apple's Bluetooth mouse"

I have the Apple Bluetooth mouse and it seems to have a hard time tracking when you move it quickly. If I move the mouse quickly the arrow starts to spaz out. My old wireless Microsoft mouse never did that. So comparing it the Apple Bluetooth mouse isn't that high of a bar.

Hmmm... you say BT mice you've tried "still didn't match a true blue chorded mouse." A chorded mouse, huh? Neat. What chords does it play? Oh! you mean corded? Ah...

I'm not sure this mouse, like some other BT mice, is Mac compatible.

It's true we need more BT mouse offerings, and what I've seen are not so good. I use a BlueTake BT500 (repackaged by RadTech and others), but it is very small and just for on the go. The BT520 is larger, but has poor tracking.

Unfortunately, in Japan this is it for BT mice that work with Macs (other than Apple's). We've yet to see other offerings by Kensington, Logitech and others. In fact BT is not very common on mobile phones as well. Go figure.

As somone who's on the road all the time, I would love this...

But I'll wait for the reviews as I'm sure it won't be cheap.
