Microsoft Touch Mouse, made exclusively for Windows 7, makes everyday tasks more fluid and intuitive by using natural gestures instead of clicks.

Microsoft Research and Microsoft Hardware collaborated to develop the Touch Mouse. Learn about the integration between hardware and software that makes the Touch Mouse come to life, from the people behind this gesture-enhanced mouse.

It would have been nice if it was wired. :/

It's $80!!

I would invest in more RAM or better cooling rather than dump $80 on a mouse that's just "touch".

The only thing I liked in the video is the Exposé effect but I can already do this in 7 with a software called Switcher!

Not when you constantly have to replace the batteries, they aren't. That money adds up. :(

Rechargeable batteries FTW! They cost more but they last more thereby making them cheaper as you use them.

Still though, I feel better with a wired mouse.
