This new wireless mouse from Logitech is really awesome for a simple reason—it has a sealed bottom. That means you never have to worry about your track ball getting clogged with gunk or your optical sensor having its view blocked by lint balls from outer space.
In addition, it’s got a built-in hand detection sensor that lets this thing shut itself off (technically go into sleep mode) when you’re not touching it. That means that a battery will last you up to two years because you won’t ever “forget” to shut it off.
One of the biggest problems encountered by most people who have built their home entertainment systems around a media center or home-theater PC is the fact the controls can be often clunky or not particularly comfortable, and in order to mitigate this issue, Logitech has just released their Wireless Mouse M515, a mouse designed specifically for living-room use.
It’s also got a pretty slick scroll wheel on top that’s billed as “hyper-fast” (whatever that means). The little horizontal grooves are pretty cool too and give you that little bit of extra control that all PC users crave. It functions on wireless USB technology and comes with its own cute little nub of a receiver so you don’t have to worry about Bluetooth connectivity.
This little rodent is going to hit the European market in April and make the jump across the pond sometime after that. There’s no official word on pricing stateside but it should be under $80.00.
Specs aren’t yet available on the official Logitech website but keep an eye out.
