Mice

Gyration Air Mouse
Gyration's new travel version of its excellent gyroscopic mouse falls a bit short, but anyone with wrist or arm pain should seriously consider something from the company's line.

Microsoft Arc Mouse (black)
Microsoft's Arc mouse is almost as functional as its form is pleasing. The travel-friendly features make perfect sense, and in general, it's a serviceable mouse for Macs and PCs. Only a few minor design issues hold it back.
Specs: External, PC, Mac, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wireless, Laser, Black

Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse (gray)
Logitech's new V550 Nano laptop mouse adds a unique "clip and go" dock that lets you clip the mouse to your laptop's lid, but we're not sure it's a feature anyone has been clamoring for.
Specs: External, PC, Mac, AA type, USB, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wireless, Laser, Gray

Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse (blue)

Microsoft SideWinder X5 Mouse
Microsoft's pared-down SideWinder X5 Mouse is supposed to offer PC gamers a lower-cost version of its award-winning higher-end model. Instead, it comes across as flimsy and overly stripped down. Other mice deliver better control for the same price.
Specs: External, PC, USB, 2000 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wired, Laser, Black

Logitech MX 1100 Cordless Laser Mouse
Logitech's MX 1100 wireless laser mouse is the best in its class thanks to a wide array of features that make navigation easier. You have to pay for all of that capability, but anyone who puts serious time in front of a PC will appreciate what this mouse can do.
Specs: External, PC, Mac, AA type, USB, 1600 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wireless, Laser

Macally Turtle - mouse
Macally's otherwise unremarkable Turtle laptop mouse at least has the good sense to keep its USB cable out of sight, thanks to a retractable cord.
Specs: External, PC, Mac, USB, 800 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wired, Laser

3M EM500GPS Ergonomic Mouse (small/medium)
The 3M EM500 Ergonomic Mouse requires some adaptation, and it offers only the most basic mouse functionality. But the payoff is a more comfortable mousing experience.
Specs: External, PC, USB, Mouse, 4 pin USB Type A, 6 pin mini-DIN (PS/2 style), Mouse, Wired

Macally Accuglide
We like the idea of a travel mouse slim enough to fit into a tight pocket or a space-challenged laptop bag, but the Macally Accuglide's wired connection has limited appeal.
Specs: External, PC, Mac, USB, 800 dpi, 4 pin USB Type A, Mouse, Wired, Opto-mechanical
