IOGEAR Launches Industry’s First 5-Button USB Laser Mouse [08-22-2005]


Provides instant access to Microsoft Office applications and offers 30 times more tracking power than optical mice

Irvine, CA – August 22, 2005 – Consumers and business professionals can now open Microsoft Office™ programs with one click of IOGEAR’s new 5-Button USB Laser Mouse, the first peripheral to offer an immediate application shortcut. The mouse incorporates an ‘instant access’ button that allows users to easily open Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and other Office applications. The customizable shortcut wheel gives users the power to easily copy, paste, print, save or complete a variety of tasks commonly used in each application. The USB Laser Mouse also provides 30 times more tracking power than traditional optical mice by using a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) as its light source. The 1600 dpi mouse offers greater accuracy in space-restricted work environments, and users can work on almost any surface, including glass. IOGEAR incorporated side-buttons on the mouse to go back and forth between Web pages, enabling complete Web browsing control from a mouse. “With today’s mobile lifestyle, people are looking for peripherals that are easy to use and can complete a variety of tasks, all in one, compact device,” said Miranda Su, vice president of sales and marketing at IOGEAR. “On top of providing extremely high accuracy and more tracking power than standard optical mice, our USB Laser Mouse allows for immediate access to the most commonly used computer applications.” The 5-Button USB Laser Mouse comes with installation software for use of the ‘instant access’ button. The peripheral features ergonomically contoured design for comfortable use. The product is priced at $39.95, and is available immediately from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets. The product comes equipped with IOGEAR’s standard three-year warranty. For further information on IOGEAR’s USB Laser Mouse or any IOGEAR products, please visit www.iogear.com.
