Wireless Touch Mouse
 M.S.R.P.
$139
The AVOV AeRio PE-2410 is a three-in-one-device that combines a presentation remote, a laser pointer, and a wireless touch mouse in a compact, express card/34 form factor. The device is powered by a single CR2032 button cell, and connects to your notebook via a slim USB dongle which cradles itself on the underside of the presenter. The layout of the AeRio is simple and uncluttered; it is clearly labelled as well. There shouldn't be any confusion as to which button does what, right down to the left-and-right click buttons, which also function as the power-on and power-off buttons. The most interesting feature of this device has to be the wireless touch mouse. It works much like a joystick, menaing your thumb will be anchored at the centre of the pad, and you control the movement by shifting your thumb in the direction that you wish to go. The further you move away from the centre, the faster the cursor will move. It takes a little practice, but once you get it right, you will be able to execute fine-control stuff like clicking on radio buttons without any embarassing moments. In addition, the AeRio has a power-saving feature in which the presenter will power down after two minutes of inactivity. Powering up from this rest state, fortunately is instantaneous. At a pricing of SGD139, the AeRio pretty much is priced in the same range is pretty handy, especially when your presentations involve walking around and noodling about in Windows.

* Expresscard/34 form factor should fit in most slots
* Touch mouse works impeccably
* Left- and right-click buttons are awkward to reach
