We've seen our share of computer mice, but this is one of our favorite new ones -- the
SlimBlade TrackBall by Kensington which they demonstrated at
CES. Not only does it look stunningly modern on your desk, but once you get used it, it's speedy and comfortable. Just choose a navigation mode to control cursor and scrolling, for instance, "media mode" controls volume, play/pause, stop, and track forward/backward, while "view" mode zooms in/out, and pans. Multi-function ball lets you easily navigate through music, pictures and documents using media or "document view" mode. Mac & PC compatible, including Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Mac OS X. Not cheap at $129 but worth it if you spend your life with a mouse. Available at
Kensington.
