Practical Solutions' Cordless Mouse for Apple, Amiga, and Atari
systems includes an 8-bit 12-MHz CMOS microprocessor for
plug-and-play compatibility, the company says.
 
In conjunction with an infrared receiver and a set of adapters
for the receiver, the Cordless Mouse works with Macintosh Plus,
II, and SE models, all the Amiga models, and both the Atari ST
and Mega models, Practical Solutions says.
 
Resolution is 200 dpi and tracking speed is rated at up to 600
millimeters per second. Like most other rodents, the Cordless
Mouse also has ballistic control, so the faster you move the
mouse the faster the curser jumps across your screen.
 
For power, each Cordless Mouse requires two AAA batteries. A
sleep mode works after the mouse is idle for more than 2 minutes
and an automatic shutoff function powers down the mouse after it
sits idle for more than 10 minutes.
 
Price: $149.95.
