WeraMouse v2: Trigger-Happy, Trackball-Toting Airmouse

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Ever found yourself wondering what the "planet's best browser mouse" might be? Neither have we, but apparently it's the WeraMouse V2, a funky little device with "tried and tested trackball technology." The company describes its namesake device as the first alternative mouse to recognize that PCs have more today than that of the "keyboard eccentric uses of the past."

The WeraMouse V2 comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery that provides up to 28 hours of use on a single charge, giving you wireless control from up to 25 feet away. And you'll do that by waving around the ambidextrous pistol-grip peripheral in either hand and spinning the top-mounted trackball with your thumb.

We're not sure this would qualify as the "perfect browser and gaming mouse!," but we could see it being used to give PowerPoint presentations and with HTPC setups. However, if the trackball isn't a deal killer (we hear a touchpad version is in the works), the $99 price tag just might be.

it looks tiring the way your hand would be suspended in mid-air (or lying flat on a desk even) especially with your thumb doing all the work. hmmm, not for long gaming sessions but could make you better at "thumb wrestling" lol.

another problem i see is you wont beable to click and move the mouse at the same time since you will have to take your thumb off the ball to click.
