this could work good with the EEE pc but these inventors could have put more time into making something more logical.

I assume the wireless part means the tiny mouse is separated from the dongle and then plugged in. It's a decent size for hobbits.

@mferrari: Makes more sense, then. :3 They could've forgone the stick shape for a more mouse-y feel, then, though...

if you look at the product page, the bottom detaches and acts as the flash drive and wireless dongle
This would be great for laptop users on the go.

@bobmarley101:
yeah this is as retarded as MY wireless mouse - the dongle has a 3 foot cable and the transmitter is... wait for it... the size of a mouse! it sits there, 4 inches in front of the mouse, looking like a mouse.

@nutbastard: You have to have a usb extension cable. Which, of course, defeats the wirelessness of it.

Once i plug it in - how to i navigate with the mouse to open the drive? If i move it, it will unplug. Drunk engineers indeed!
