Cycling Mouse from Microsoft


Does this go in The Technology Circle or does it go here? I have already updates The Circle today, so here it is.....

With this year’s Cape Argus Pick ‘n Pay Cycle Tour, the world’s largest individual timed cycle race, just a few days away, Microsoft Entertainment and Devices is thrilled to announce the release of its limited edition cycling mouse, the
Notebook Optical Cycle Mouse 3000. The mouse will launch officially today at the Pick ‘n Pay Argus Expo.

The Notebook Optical Cycle Mouse 3000, is a special edition of Microsoft’s Notebook Optical Mouse 3000. This mouse was co designed and developed by Microsoft ergonomists and sports apparel specialists and focuses on comfort, performance, speed, precision and most importantly mobility.


“The idea for the uniquely South African, special edition version of the mouse was inspired by the mouse’s sporty heritage. The synergies between the Microsoft cycling team and the Microsoft endorsed Raleigh bicycles have provided the ideal opportunity to specially brand & package this limited edition mouse.” Says Cindy White, entertainment and devices group manager, Microsoft SA.


The Notebook Optical Cycle Mouse 3000, offers a host of features including:

- High Definition Optical Technology, allowing for the ultimate performance through smooth and precise tracking;

- Magnifier, providing the opportunity to enlarge and edit selected areas within a document in real time;

- 4-Way Scrolling, with Tilt Wheel technology enabling easy and efficient scrolling from side to side and up and down;

- Comfort, the recessed rubber sides providing a comfortable grip for either hand;

- Style, the LED tail light adds to the sophistication of the design and look of the mouse.

The limited edition mouse, will be available at participating retail and cycling stores as well as the Pick ‘n Pay Argus Expo from today, the 8th March, at an estimated retail price of R259,00. You can also visit Kalahari.net to get the mouse.
