Simtrix Swiftpoint Slider Mouse Uses Your Keyboard for a Mousepad
The Simtrix Slider joins the list of strange pointing devices like the finger mouse designed for mobile computing. Held between thumb and finger, it's designed to slide right over the keys on your laptop, making the whole keyboard a mousepad. Supposedly this offers efficiency savings, as your hands don't have to dart off to a touchpad or grab a mouse, and Simtrix says it may reduce the risk of RSI. Seems like a good idea, though we wonder how you avoid dt causing typos dçe] by ?- rando,m keypresse;'ss. No idea when you'll see it as a real product. [Simtrix via PCPro]

Betting that someday soon there will be computers in home theaters, Avago Technologies created an input device module that works like a mouse, scroll wheel or joystick depending on your situation and preference. Keep in mind, we're not talking about the picture of the remote here, just that little black circular input device. But this picture above has caused a bit of a stir, because its user interface and button layout is similar to the one used in today's Logitech Harmony 880 remote controls.

Yesterday we showed you a mouse with a keypad under its lid, but here's an idea for number-crunching road warriors that might be even better: a USB mouse with an integrated calculator.
