Occasionally when I right click I end up right-clicking the FAR TOP EDGE on the right. Well, it's actually obvious and a little funny if you give it some though.

What the heck? I searched around and found a few people in the forums with the same issue so I assumed it was a driver issue. Click hard with the right and it got picked up as a left. Every once in a while I do what, in my mind is a CRYSTAL clear right-click and it registers as a left-click.

There's no middle mouse button, but that hasn't been an issue for me. Speed of scrolling is also easily changed. See that vertical line that separates the two mouse 'buttons?' Stroke that and it's the 'scroll wheel.' It feels odd initially but ends up quite comfortable. The mouse uses the capacitive touch technology that we're seeing in a lot of mice lately. I'll often find myself with a hard drive plugged in, then want to add one more item (USB key, presenter remote, smart card) and with most mice I'm stuck because the other USB port already has that mouse's transmitter. This Ultrabook only has two USB ports and that's one port too few.

The Wedge is a Bluetooth mouse, and getting a good Bluetooth mouse was my goal. Oddly, the battery door switch looks like an on/off switch also so I ended up flicking that a few times before I learned. There's a AA battery that goes in the round part (the butt) and underneath there's a single button for on/off/Bluetooth sync and a battery door switch. The idea appears to have been to remove the back half of the mouse completely (the part that usually gets cupped in your palm) and instead make just the fingertips part. Each has an unusual design for a reason: portability. They aren't classic-looking mice and each one has garnered the occasional double-take from passersby. I'm classifying both of these mice as 'weird' because, well, they are.

I'm using the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse and the Microsoft Wedge Mouse. I've got two notebook mice I'm bouncing between while using my new ultrabook, the Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch. I don't think it exists, yet, frankly, but we're getting close. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect mouse.
