Microsoft's 'me too' gesture-controlled mouse isn't its finest hour
Striking design and unique feel ; Gestures come to Windows 7 ; Neat wireless dongle ; Better than a laptop's touchpad
Worse than most other mice ; Single clicking is frustrating ; Too easy to incur random actions

The Microsoft Touch Mouse offers a halfway house between traditional mouse and keyboard-, and touchscreen input. It's a wireless mouse that offers seven different touch functions through which you can swipe and gesture your way to touchy feely Windows...
We like the Touch Mouse, with some reservations. At £39 it's a solid mouse, and Microsoft input devices tend to last for a good long while. We're just not so enamoured of the gesture control, and found it a little slow.

b>Touch is the current hot topic when features are mentioned. Now Microsoft's latest mouse joins the party.
While Microsoft would be only too happy to wave a fond farewell to Windows XP, there are many users who are determined to continue using this familiar friend on their computer. As the end of mainstream support for this operating system has failed to...

While regular readers will not be surprised that the latter does something else almost everything from Brando does, they might be more surprised that the former is far more than a standard mouse but you will need to have Windows 7.
It is available from the link below for $22 (US) plus $3 (US) whatever the size of your order

Looking for a PC equivalent of Apple's Magic Mouse? The Microsoft Touch Mouse is it, and as unique and useful a pointing device as you'll find for Windows 7 PCs.
Offers full gesture support. Works for right- and left-handed users. Wireless. Allows hyperscrolling
Compatible only with Windows 7. Not ideal for gaming
Expert review by : Rossi Fernandes (tech.firstpost.com)
Microsoft may be best known for their operating system and Office suite, but their presence in the hardware market has been there for longer than the past decade.
Microsoft has priced the Touch Mouse at Rs. 3,999 in India. They say that the product is made for lifestyle users and therefore, there’s a very niche audience for this product. Apart from the weight and the slippery feel of the mouse, we’re quite...

Microsoft's Touch Mouse, aimed at Windows 7 users, is a direct challenge to Apple's multi-touch Magic Mouse. Apple's Magic Mouse is an uncomfortable, gimmicky device. Did Microsoft Hardware, with their history of high-quality peripherals do better?
Expert review by : David Chieng (hardwarezone.com)
Designed to make navigating Windows 7 a breeze, the Microsoft Touch Mouse reminds us of Apple's Mighty Mouse at first sight. Looks aside, will the Touch Mouse fulfill our expectations of it? Read on to find out.
