Swiftpoint Mouse Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2010-12-27

The Swiftpoint Mouse is an innovative product with a pen-like grip, meant to completely replace the touchpad functions of most laptops. It's wireless and comes with a USB wireless adapter that also acts like a dock to recharge the product.

Impressions and Conclusive Thoughts

It took me a while to get used to the Swiftpoint mouse, considering that its shape is a lot different compared to most mice on the market; its pen-like grip seems to eliminate most of the common problems that exist at small normal-shaped mice designed for laptops/notebooks.

This mouse does also have some interesting features; for example, when holding the mouse tilted, we can zoom or scroll through long documents, without the need to touch the scroll wheel with our finger:

 

 

 

SmartTouch is another feature easy to activate and that does not need extra software; with it activated, we can disable the mouse during the times the finger is not detected on the finger grip. This feature lowers the power consumption and the mouse pointer is not moved unnecessary.

The micro USB dock is also a charger for the product so we do not have do use extra cables.

I have tried the mouse on a piece of paper, but also on cloth and it did not have any problems operating (the mouse pointer did not jump at all).

The mouse also comes with an optional parking accessory; this is a thin adhesive film which has a parking area that secures the mouse in place whilst typing; I would recommend using the parking accessory on larger sized laptops (17''+), because they have also bigger palm rests.

While this product can be used without problems in office environment, in games I would recommend normal-sized mice, because of their larger base and extra buttons.

The price for the Swiftpoint Mouse has been lowered recently to €59.00. It's still not a cheap product, but a very original one.

I would like to thank again to Swiftpoint for offering me a sample of this innovative product for review!
