Mobile mice are usually crap. They aren’t built well, they don’t feel
good, and they just generally suck. That’s begun to change recently, as
manufacturers seem to be figuring out that they hate their own products
(which is the surest sign that change is incoming). Ironically, one of
the better choices comes from a company just stepping into the mobile
computing space, Mad Catz.
Considering companies have failed at making good mobile mice for
years, Mad Catz’ first attempt is surprisingly good. The Eclipse Mobile
Mouse has a sturdy build thanks to a metal frame and sits at either an
incline or flat on a surface thanks to an adjustable back hinge. It
takes just one AAA battery and uses a 2.4GHz wireless signal through a
USB dongle, which can be stored inside the mouse.
