IOGEAR today launched its new 5-Button USB Laser Mouse. The mouse incorporates an 'instant access' button that allows users to easily open any application, while the customizable shortcut wheel gives users the power to easily copy, paste, print, save or complete a variety of tasks commonly used in each application. IOGEAR says the USB Laser Mouse also provides 30 times more tracking power than traditional optical mice by using a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) as its light source. "The 1600 dpi mouse offers greater accuracy in space-restricted work environments, and users can work on almost any surface, including glass." IOGEAR has also incorporated side-buttons on the mouse to go back and forth between Web pages. It is available immediately for $40. (The mouse requires additional software to enable all buttons on Mac OS X.)
