Compact design
Nice to handle
Good horizontal and vertical scrolling systems
Compatible with Windows 7
8
RT and Mac OS
Sensor ensures good tracking
Suitable for leftand righthanded users
If you really need a mouse on the go
You won’t find many smaller than the striking Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse. With a surface area barely bigger than a credit card
It’s certainly easy to throw in your bag. It’s surprisingly comfortable to use too considering its wee size. The top surface recognises swipes in four directions
So you can scroll around on pages and in applications with ease.Handi

The editors didn't like
No thumb buttons
Noisy feet
Low polling rate (90 hz)
Sensor can't track movements fast enough for video games
No battery level indicator
Expensive
Windows 8 is just around the corner
And with it come all sorts of new gestures
Including the ability to swipe between apps. But you won’t be able to pull them off with the Microsoft Wedge Touch MouseThat’s a bit silly
Especially when Apple’s Magic Mouse and Trackpad support all sorts of useful gestures on Macs. You can’t pinch to zoom in
Switch app or pull up Microsoft’s Windows 8 Charm bar (

The Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse is much nicer to handle than many of the mice designed for laptops. Its touch-sensitive surface and controls are also a real plus for web browsing. However, the Wedge is a bit pricey for a mouse that's not suitable for gami...

Innovative design, Very compact and light, Easy Bluetooth connectivity, Works very nicely with Windows 8
Awkward form factor, Not as useful for Windows 7 users
The Wedge Touch Mouse is easily one of the most portable and versatile mice we've reviewed – it's certainly the smallest – and the addition of four-way scrolling is indispensable for Windows 8 users who may not have a touchscreen to work with. However,...

Responsive, Portable, Works well with Windows 8, Easy to connect
Pricey, Not for desktop PCs
The Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse is certainly not going to be to everyone's taste, and we had some serious reservations when we first saw the design, but it's actually not that bad at all if you want a light mouse to quickly work on your tablet when a touc...
Abstract: The Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse is designed for use with Windows 8 laptops and tablets, but it also works with Windows 7 and Mac computers too. This portable mouse could be handy if you don't like using laptop touchpads. The Wedge mouse connects wirele...
It's not cheap, or big. And on first site the Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse looks as though it wouldn't be comfortable for long-term use. But like Windows 8 itself, we found it surprisingly comfortable and efficient to use. It's well built, and stylish. ...
We love the Wedge Touch mouse, it's small but perfectly formed and it works as a full-sized mouse would, but in a tiny package. It's comfortable enough to use for extended periods too, making it ideal for travel. ...

Microsoft's Wedge Touch mouse is a novel idea and for those who need to get work done regularly on the go (we're thinking cross country train journeys rather than short bus rides) and it’s ideal for all those Windows 8 devices just around the corner. B...
Microsoft's Wedge Touch Mouse is fantastic. It is compact enough to easily tote around, yet comfortable enough to use as your main mouse. If it had forward/back buttons, I would say it was perfect. But, that is just a matter of preference. The Wedge reta...
Pocketable size, Appealing industrial design, BlueTrack sensor registers well on most surfaces
No gesture support beyond scrolling, Shape is best suited to smaller hands, Battery life could be better
For a tiny Bluetooth mouse, the Wedge Touch delivers responsive performance and a sleek design. But Windows 8 users should note there's no gesture support, and some will find the lack of a palm rest uncomfortable. ...
