We showed you Cylo's 3Style mouse back at CES. It's essentially a 3D mouse designed to replace your current rodent and make it easier to scroll around on your computer. From the looks of it, the folks at Cylo are close to releasing the mouse, putting it through a few final tests before going into production, which is good news considering the mouse worked flawlessly when I used it. Take a glance at the vid to see it in action. – Louis Ramirez

3style Adds a Jogwheel to Your Mouse

This 3style Mouse combines standard mouse design with a jogwheel, an input device familiar to video editors everywhere, to create a new and pretty awesome looking way of controlling your computer.

The entire top surface can spin, allowing you to scroll through documents or quickly spin through footage with ease. Since the entire top surface rotates, there are no buttons on the front. Instead, pressing on the top is a button and squeezing the sides is a button.

Check out the video after the hop of how well this thing handles boring stuff like knob control and fun stuff like first-person shooters. No word on pricing or availability.

The Skinny Yeah, we know. It looks like a small breast implant, but the 3Style mouse was designed to let you work in 3D. It has left and right click buttons along with a jog dial that you can twist left or right (like a rotary phone).

Geared Toward Video and photo editors who need a quick way of fast forwarding through clips or image libraries.

The Spin The 3Style is essentially a distant cousin to the SpaceNavigator. The difference is that the 3Style has a more natural, fluid feel and is easier to hold.

Counterspin Though we liked it, don't expect to see this Australian-made mouse anytime soon. The folks at Cylo told us the earliest we could see it was 3 to 4 months from now.
