Overview

IOGEAR’s new 5-button USB Laser mouse (the vanguard product in the company’s new
Laser 1600 Series) is an excellent tool for graphic designers, gamers, and desktop
users.

This new IOGEAR mouse uses VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) as the
light source, which provides 30x more tracking power than regular mice using an optical
sensor. VCSEL allows the mouse to work on virtually any surface, even glass, and
provides an extremely high resolution of 1600dpi, substantially reducing the amount of
injury-producing hand and arm movement.

Take full control of your computer with IOGEAR’s 5-button laser mouse. Two
conveniently located side-buttons allow you to easily go back and forward in your
web browser. The Instant Access button quickly launches Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, Outlook, and other programs with a simple mouse click. In addition,
the instant-access button allows you to perform common Microsoft® Office tasks
such as Open, Save, Copy, Paste, and Print.
