Happy Tuesday friends, I don’t know if you care but today is an unreal day for New Releases when it comes to DVD’s so head down to your video store, pick up a copy of No Country for Old Men, and enjoy a movie night.  Now, to business…

You all know my thoughts and feelings on finding fans, so I’ll skip all the melodramatic stuff and just let you know, I found a new one with some kind words to say about the little ol’ MoGo Mouse!  Here’s a clip of Barry, from “Far From A Shining Star…’s” affection:

“I have used various laptop mice over the past few years, but always had problems with a) knowing where they are (they hide a lot), b) batteries needing to be replaced at inopportune times, and c) just not being very cool. MoGo solves all three of those problems.”

I’m glad we could address all three of your issues and I couldn’t be happier you enjoy it!  Keep checking back with us Barry, you never can tell what we’re going to come out with next!

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times, I LOVE finding people that LOVE finding the MoGo Mouse in their lives.  Nothing makes me happier, well I’m sure there are SOME things, than finding in my RSS Reader a post someone, somewhere did about loving their mouse.

That said, today is that day.  I just found a post over at jkOnTheRun.com in which they give their hands-on assessment of their testing of a neighbors that lead to them ordering their very own new MoGo Mouse.  Here is a brief snipped of their thoughts on it:

“It folds flat and stores in the PC Card slot for both transport and it charges the Bluetooth mouse while it’s in the slot.  I was quite surprised to find that it works so well and the owner couldn’t say enough good things about it.  I tried it for a bit and I must say it felt good in the hand and worked as well as I have heard.  Needless to say I now have one on the way and will show you how well it works when I have it.”

Anyhow, head over, get convinced and then head back and get your hands on your very own MoGo Mouse.  Trust me, you won’t be sorry.

I was pretty eager to try it out, so I didn’t wait. With my laptop  off-site, a desktop system would have to play host to the new peripheral.

My partner’s PC proved up to the task.

A note before we did into my initial impressions. As I reviewed this new version, it was impossible not to compare it to my older one. My original MoGo traveled with me over  two countries and thousands upon thousands of miles, so it would be disingenuous  of me to attempt to review the X54 it as if it were an entirely novel experience

To address this, I’ve asked some associates who’ve never used a MoGo mouse before to take it for a spin over the upcoming weeks. Those ‘fresh impression’ will be  included in future posts.

Now, to the review.

The first thing I noticed was how quickly it set up. As in, no time at all. I’m pretty sure even my most non-technical acquaintances could handle this. Like its predecessor,  this thing is extremely plug ‘n play.

My second impression was how small it felt.

Even lighter than the previous version.

And if the MoGo is a new experience for a hand used to the race car-shaped bulk, the super-light MoGo with its more squared-off design will take some tactile adjustment. This is not a device to slam down onto the mousepad as you attempt to relocate your on-screen pointer. (Not that anyone would ever do that. :ahem:)

But after about 15 minutes, I utterly forgot about it. The mouse is responsive and efficient, and I had to keep reminding myself to pay attention to it as I got lost in my usual work.

My only complaint was in regards to its energy-saving feature. The mouse goes to ’sleep’ quite easily. I don’t remember this being as much the case with my older MoGo. In the time it takes to top off a cup of tea or  to have an engrossing phone conversation, this one would inactivate.

Since turning it back on is a simple flick of the wrist, these seems a petty observation. However, it did give me a minor irk.

On the plus side, the new scroll feature is exceedingly intuitive.  I am so used to having scroll abilities that it actually took me going through my checklist to remember that this was an upgrade from before. It works just as you would expect it to, with familiar response and action.

I haven’t yet tried out its more ‘Pro’ features but overall so far? I’m impressed.

First impressions…hmm, where to begin. I’m in love. How about that? I finally have my hands on my very own, shiny, new MoGo Mouse BT. Talk about the most impressive marriage between convenience, innovation, design and just plain “cool factor.” Heck, it even Smells like new technology, and all you out there know exactly what I’m talking about.

Linking it to my laptop took about 9 seconds, and the ability to use a REAL mouse is beyond helpful. It slides well, and when I was done (before the snazzy photo shoot, that is) I let it quietly slip back into the PC Card Slot to recharge and hide from the world. Check out the Tech Porn above.
