Microsoft Launches Touch Mouse in India

New Delhi, Delhi, India:-- Brings multi-touch edge to Windows 7
-- With Touch Mouse, Microsoft gives decades’ old point-and-click device a complete makeover

Microsoft India today launched the Touch Mouse that makes everyday tasks more fluid and intuitive by using natural gestures instead of clicks. Exclusively designed for Windows 7, the new Microsoft Touch Mouse combines the virtues of the old familiar mouse with multi-touch gestures. It marries natural human gestures with the ability of an electronic mouse and helps click, flick, scroll, pan, tilt and swipe on Windows 7 seamlessly. A first of a kind in India, the Touch Mouse is soothingly captivating, given its fluid, rhythmic movements, seamless and unobstructed surface, and multi-functionality.

The Touch Mouse’s multi-touch functionality helps users navigate easier and faster with a flick of their fingers. The look-and-feel of the new Touch Mouse is delightfully simple, yet pleasing to the eye – minimal edges, curvaceous corners, and softly sloping. Its rich matte black surface gives the perfect grip; at the same time, it is comforting to the fingers. The Microsoft Touch Mouse, competitively priced at Rs 3,999, is based on BlueTrackTM Technology and is ambidextrous in design. Further, the mouse pad is made redundant by this little work of art as it can be used on all surfaces, except clear glass and mirrors.

Announcing the launch Mr. Satish Parreddi, Senior Category Manager Microsoft Hardware India said, “Touch today is increasingly becoming a fun way of interacting with devices. When it comes to mice, while the desktop users want precision and control, the gesture of their fingers exceeds the power with the touch mouse. This is the first time we’ve married the control and precision of a mouse with the interactivity that touch delivers on the PC. With Touch Mouse, we are giving a simple and complimentary experience to all the Windows 7 users like never possible before.”
