Does the MoGo have any competitors? Update: Yes!

I like the idea and it would be neat to have a mouse like that, but I'm wondering if there are other (less expensive) options.

MoGo

that is pretty sweet, might have to look into one of those to replace the ms intellimouse i carry around everywhere.

Yeah, it's sweet...pair it with an already slim notebook and you've got yourself a stew going

That looks like an amazing little device. I've never had any use for my PC Card slot, now I can stuff something useful in there.

Same here. I only use that slot when I'm using the eight-year-old laptop I keep around for whimsy

Looks like HP makes a couple:

Those just look like HP branded MoGos.

Wow these little suckers look awesome. I'm in the market for a new laptop, might look into one of these as an accessory. Why didn't I think of this!? Great idea imho.

I'm not surprised HP makes this. HP was the first laptop manufacture to make an actual stow away external mouse that hides inside of the laptop. Look up the HP omnibook 300. I used to have that computer. You would push a little button in the corner and a tiny square mouse would come out.

does anyone carry their laptops around without a bag though? i always have mine in a backpack, and ive never found it cumbersome to throw my wireless logitech mouse in there. its also a real mouse, that mogo looks a little goofy to use all the time.

I carry mine in a sleeve

i just found this its not exactly the same, but it DOES seem pretty small

 

[zig3695]

that looks like it would squeeze in the pcmcia slot. pretty cool, its samsung


what i want from mogo is that little bluetooth adater (dapter). my 1501 doesnt have bt, and that would be a nice way to add it. i HATE HATE HATE every and all bt usb adapters, they all stick out just ready to be ripped side to side, ruining the usb port. problem is they might charge $60 for it that little bt adapter, and if i were to pay that i would rather buy the $80 compact flash bluetooth adapter you can find on amazon.

damn @$50 for a wireless laptop mouse, its kinda expensive

I suppose...but given that lots of people pay hundreds to go from 14" to 12" laptops, the difference between the cost of $50 ultra-portable mouse and another wireless mouse isn't that crazy

Oh No.....I wish you'd have never shown me that!
