Here’s a handy mouse! If you travel alot, you’ll know that space is essential. So what do you do when using that touchpad starts to cramp your finger? Use a MoGo Mouse that’s what! It’s a simple concept, but Newton Peripherals has done a good job of thinking out the details. Newton, by the way, is named after a town near Boston, not the late and not-terribly-lamented Apple PDA.

The size and shape of a normal PCMCIA card, the MoGo feels solid, but PCMCIA cards are thin, and it would be rather awkward to push one round a desk as a pointing device. Newton’s answer is a spring-loaded “flipstand” that raises up the back of the mouse under your palm, so you can grip the raised end between your thumb and fingers. The stand flips up with a satifying pop.
