Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The MoGo Mouse BT is a unique, business-card-sized, Bluetooth-enabled wireless mouse that stores and charges inside your laptop's PC Card slot, making it a "must have" accessory for every laptop. Its award-winning patented design is tailored for on-the-go use, so you'll never worry about forgetting it at home or having it run out of power.

The MoGo Mouse BT offers: Unique design that can be charged and stored in a PC Card slot. Bluetooth for a 30-foot wireless range. 30-minute charge for 8-10 hours of battery life.

Award-Winning, Convenient, and Useful Design
Designed with the traveler in mind, the MoGo Mouse BT is not your usual mouse. Rather than trying to squeeze an awkwardly shaped external mouse in your laptop bag, you store the MoGo Mouse BT inside the laptop itself, in your computer's PC Card slot, where it's also charged.

When you need it, just eject it from the card slot, flip out the integrated kickstand to comfortably position the mouse, and you're ready for action. The MoGo offers the same functionality as conventional laser wireless mice -- scroll, right click, left click -- without the bulky, oversized design.

The MoGo Mouse BT is compatible with laptops with PCMCIA, Type I/II, and Cardbus slots. If your PC has an Express/54 slot, you should use the MoGo Media Mouse X54 or the MoGo Presenter Mouse X54. (See accompanying chart for the performance features and compatibility details of each MoGo Mouse.)

Full-Size Performance and Features
The MoGo Mouse BT measures just 2.1 x 0.2 x 3.4 inches (WxHxD), but that doesn't mean it doesn't offer the same performance as larger mice. With a patent-pending optical system, the MoGo Mouse provides 800 DPI resolution for precise tracking.

It also has two buttons and the ability to scroll. MoGo Mouse BT Scrolling Software, which is offered as a free download from the MoGo Web site, takes your MoGo Mouse to a whole new level by making review of important documents and Web sites more convenient than ever before. You'll be able to simply and intuitively navigate virtually any application--on the go, at the office, or at home.

Wireless Ease of Use with Bluetooth Compatibility
The MoGo Mouse BT is Bluetooth-enabled, so you'll have wide wireless compatibility with any computer running Windows XP/Vista or Mac OS X that has Bluetooth. (To add Bluetooth capability to your laptop, you can use the MoGo Micro USB Bluetooth Adapter, sold separately, or purchase the MoGo Media Mouse X54 and Bluetooth Adapter combo.) The mouse supports the Bluetooth v2.0 EDR for the latest and fastest wireless connections, and has a range of 30 feet.

Built-In Rechargeable Battery Saves Money and the Environment
Unlike other wireless mice that require expensive and environmentally unfriendly battery replacements every few months, the MoGo Mouse BT has a built-in rechargeable battery that is automatically recharged every time it's stored inside the PC Card slot. This saves you money and helps you protect the environment. It takes about 30 minutes to recharge the battery, and a single charge gets up to approximately 10 hours of normal use.

The MoGo Mouse BT is backed by a two-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A traveling man "must have"..., October 4, 2006

By 

Claus "cryoruggie" (Prior Lake, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MoGo Mouse, Wireless 2-button Bluetooth Mouse (Gray) (Personal Computers)

I must admit that the Mogo mouse is all that the long pre-advertising promised. I'll never loose a mouse again.
It's compact, charged quickly in my PCMCIA slot and works well. It takes a bit getting used to - it's small, and you need to use your little finger to keep it in a good position with your hand.
Strikes me as ideal when you're on a plane seat, and have very little surface to move around on. The fact that it stores in the slot makes it delightful when packing up.
Why do I need an external mouse when I have the touch pad on my laptop?
I use a Dell, and have disabled the touch pad, since I always inadvertently brush over it while typing ( with four fingers). So I'm reduced to using the little rubber nubby dubby on the key board, and recent Dell replacements are very low or squat and don't protrude much - so I hit the "B" key a lot by accident. Using a mouse is necessary for me.
Tracking is accurate, and the buttons are surprisingly ergonomic. Connection to Bluetooth was flawless. Life is good!
About the only thing I miss is the trackball to scroll down quickly. I'd assume the next iteration of the Mogo will have that... ( I'd rate it 5+ stars if it had a track ball)
---------------------
OK, it's now Dec 4th, and the mouse has traveled over several continents. I'd like to change my review to 5 stars. Darn - this thing is neat! It recognizes by my laptop within a couple of seconds no matter where I am, and tracks accurately until the battery is drained. It is stronger than it looks, or it inspires gentleness - I love it. Even without the trackball.
And it works on airplane trays, couch armrests, hotel guides - almost any place except glass. Newsprint throws it off a bit too.
Now that the price has dropped, there is absolutely no excuse not to buy it.

This review is from: MoGo Mouse, Wireless 2-button Bluetooth Mouse (Gray) (Personal Computers)

So I waited a few weeks before i got my MoGo but now that i have it i love it. I am not a fan of clutter and dragging things along with me so i have not bought a mouse because i didnt want to find a spot for it and worry about the wireless adapter sticking out and such. It is very much a mouse for a road warrior. storing it right in my PC Card slot is pure genius and the fact that it charges there is just the icing on the cake. I was worried that being so little it would be uncomfortable but after a little bit you dont even notice its so small. you use the same 4 fingers that youd use to control a normal sized mouse except you dont feel the body in your palm. The range is excellent too, ive used it during power point presentations to click slides over as well. I have yet to test the 30 foot range but im sure it wouldnt be a problem. The only thing i dont like is that there is no scroll wheel. I know that the size of it makes it hard to have a wheel but maybe a touch wheel like one some laptops could have been possible. its a little pricer than most other mice but the convience and performance cant be beat. I dont regret my purchase one bit. I doubt ill ever loose it either because of how its stored. All in all a good buy

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little mouse, December 29, 2006

This review is from: MoGo Mouse, Wireless 2-button Bluetooth Mouse (Gray) (Personal Computers)

This mouse was getting great reviews, so I decided to gave it a try. It's fantastic! I don't have Bluetooth imbedded in my HP laptop so I had to buy an external adapter. But it was well worth it and worked flawlessly (Kensington, make sure it's Bluetooth 2.0). Installation was easy, and tracking performance is great on all surfaces I've used it on. I travel for work and often have to work remotely, and the mouse is always conveniently within my reach. The battery life is good too. I've had it on for 8 to 9 hours straight with no problems. Highly recommend it!
