Microsoft’s latest mouse would be the Microsoft Explorer Touch Mouse, where it will ship with Microsoft’s BlueTrack technology that ought to have it function in most surfaces, even on those that standard optical mice are unable to.

Other hardware specifications comprise of five customizable buttons that can also be alternated just in case you are a southpaw. Having said that, this means the Explorer Touch Mouse is symmetrically designed so that regardless of your hand orientation, it ought to fit snugly without a problem.
