Executing actions via multi-touch gestures on a trackpad is cool. Apple’s been offering this technology on their Macbooks and so do the new netbooks have it but people who use desktop PCs or older notebooks are deprived of this tech.

However, Filco from Japan looks to fulfill those multi-touch wishes by selling SmartTrack Neo which is a small calculator sized USB trackpad.

The functioning is simple. Plug the device in a Windows machine and use it like a laptop’s trackpad but with multi-touch. It goes for a worthy $50.

Logitech has clubbed its MX Revolution mouse and a keyboard with an LCD display to launch MX 5500 Revolution combo for the expensive lads. The combo gives a high quality mouse to work with, a keyboard that shows information like time, weather, date, calculator etc. and Bluetooth connectivity for a robust and a reliable connection. The mouse and the keyboard are pre-paired with the Bluetooth receiver, so the user only needs to plug the receiver into the PC’s USB port to get started.

As I said before, this is not for the cheap souls like us. It costs Rs. 11,495 and comes with a 3-year warranty.

It took a good 23 years for the Swiss-based mice making company to reach the magical figure of 1 billion. Since the first mouse, P4 cranked out in 1982 and then retailed in 1985, Logitech’s factory have been producing humongous numbers of mice everyday to suffice the billion-odd computer users around the world. For the record, Logitech churns out 376,000 mice everyday making the monthly count to 7.8 million units.

To commemorate the shipment of the billionth mouse, they are holding a special competition with some Logitech product as a giveaway for the next couple of weeks. For more details on the contest, click here.

Logitech announced the availability of V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks in India. Selling at Rs. 3,115 ($65), this mouse bundles a Clip-and-Go dock which can be placed on the laptop for the mouse to be easily docked when not in use. It also has a tiny USB receiver and a mammoth battery life of 18 months. That’s one and a half years with the same two AA batteries. V550 is now available at retail stores in two shades – silver and blue.

A lady with overworked gray cells has got a simple yet marketable product that can keep your mouse hand warm in a chilly environment. The Mouse Hand Warmer is nothing but a small 12 X 12 inches blanket where you put your mouse and hand in it to feel the warmness inside.

It will cost $15 for a lazy guy suffering from cold mouse hand syndrome but it may cost cheaper if you’re a DIY guy like me.
