Product summary

The good: Slim enough to fit in your back pocket; brushed metal exterior.

The bad The bad: Flat design isn't ergonomically friendly; a rare wired mouse in a wireless world.

The bottom line: 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.

Known for making Apple-oriented accessories, Macally has several new laptop mice specifically designed with Apple laptops in mind--although they're all standard USB peripherals, which will work fine on your Windows PC.

The $19.99 Macally Accuglide is a slim travel mouse, designed to be aesthetically compatible with the silver-hued MacBook Air. To say the $2,000 laptop and the $20 mouse look like a matched pair is a bit of a stretch, but the brushed metal top panel and mouse buttons (on a silver plastic body) gives it a fun, industrial-style look, as does the blocky rectangular design. With about the same footprint as a credit card, the Accuglide is 0.5 inch high, 2 inches wide, and 3.4 inches long, with a standard two-mouse button plus scroll wheel setup.
