New RF devices include the Optimo Portable 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Mouse and the MGlide Portable 2.4GHz Wireless Optical Mouse. The Optimo mouse offers three programmable buttons, a scroll wheel, a precision optical sensor, a small USB RF receiver, and a switch for toggling between 800 and 1600dpi resolution. The MGlide is a low-profile model that features a clickable scroll wheel, a precision optical sensor, and a compartment for storing the RF USB receiver. Both of these mice sell for $30.



In addition to new input devices, Macally also introduced two $40 notebook stands that are made of bamboo and packaged in environmentally-friendly materials. Both the EcoFan and EcoFanPro feature an ultra-quiet fan that is powered by your laptop's USB port. The Pro model adds the ability to adjust the stand.
