Portable computer users have for the most part overcome the significant differences a laptop presents from a desktop PC such as its smaller keyboard and cramped keys.

But the lack of a mouse has enraged many a laptop typist, left to navigate their PC screen with the imprecise touchscreens or red-dot trackpoint systems.

Mogo MouseMoGo Mouse, by West Newton, Massachusetts-based Newton Peripherals Inc., is a wireless mouse that rests inside a slot on the side of a laptop PC, roughly the size of a business card, with an arm resembling a bicycle “kickstand” that keep the rear of the device flush with a user’s palm.

The mouse, which sells for about $70, fully charges in less than an hour and is powered by Bluetooth short-range wireless technology.
