Joan Jett and the Blackhearts asked millions of fans if they "wanna touch" almost four decades ago, and now Logitech is asking the same question with its new Touch Mouse M600. It's a buttonless rodent featuring a touch surface to glide your fingertips across the same way you do on your smartphone and tablet, or even your all-in-one PC, as it were.

"People are growing accustomed to using fingertip gestures to navigate on their smartphones and tablets," said Todd Walker, brand manager for Logitech. "In fact, for many people these gestures have become second nature. The Logitech Touch Mouse M600 reflects this evolution in how we interact with the digital world and extends to the computer what have become natural, intuitive motions."

Logitch says the Touch Mouse M600 is equally suited for left- and right-handed users. You can scroll and swipe with finger motions no matter where they rest on the surface of the M600, and with Logitech's Flow Scroll software, the company promises free flowing Web scrolling similar in style to your smartphone or tablet.

The wireless rodent includes a Logitech Unifying receiver capable of connecting up to six compatible mice and keyboards through a single USB port.

If all that sounds appealing, the Logitech Touch Mouse M600 will be available in the U.S. this month for $70.
