Canon has expanded its popular X series with the launch of the X Mark I Mouse, a sleek, three-in-one personal calculator that also acts as a wireless laser mouse and numeric keypad for personal computers. With Bluetooth 2.0, this handy little device is well-suited with both Windows and Mac computers.
It features the same premium design as the popular X Mark I and X Mark I print models, with a sleek, angular, streamlined body that’s relaxing to hold in the hand. With integrated Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, three click buttons and a fully-functional scroll-wheel, the calculator can seamlessly be employed as a high performance wireless laser mouse (1200 dpi), allowing users to control their computer and mathematical calculations from the same device.
Designed for work or personal use, the new model combines multiple functions and strong environmental qualifications, having been part-manufactured using recycled Canon materials. Instant compatibility with both Windows and Macintosh hardware provides added versatility for use across various different computer models. In addition to mouse functionality, the calculator can also be used as a wireless numeric keypad for computers, providing a convenient tool for numerical data entry, particularly if using a mobile laptop.
Technically, the X Mark I Mouse is more a calculator turned into a mouse than vice versa. The X Mark I Mouse has a 23-button keypad and LCD display. When you need to crunch some numbers, rather than take a few seconds to start up a calculator program, or need a moment to pull a stand-alone calculator out of a desk drawer, you can simply start typing in your sums straight away, hardly needing to move your hand. The calculator keyboard can be locked-out, to keep you from inadvertently using it when you’re just trying to use it as a mouse.
As a mouse, the unit has laser tracking with a 1200 dpi resolution and communicates over Bluetooth. The X Mark I Mouse will first arrive in Europe this November for around $60.
