The Logitech VX Nano was the gadget that Leo was going to talk about in yesterday's TTTT.It is a smallish travel mouse for notebooks. It's a cordless, laser mouse, and has the world's smallest USB wireless receiver that plugs into the back of your laptop and almost disappears. A compartment on the underside of the mouse stores the Nano Receiver when the mouse is not in use, which at the same time turns off the batteries giving them a longer life. A hyper-fast scroll wheel allows smooth and speedy scrolling, and there are 5 customisable buttons - programmable through the Windows software on the CD that comes with the mouse. Mac users can download the Logitech Control Center for Mac. Comes with a travel pouch.
What's more, it's made symmetrically, so no bias against lefties. It may well find its way into Ned Flanders's Leftorium.
