We've shown you plenty of fancy mice before, but this Saitek Obsidian wireless mouse breaks new ground. It has that smooth allure of a device that's shed all its moving parts. Instead of a clickety-clackety or flimsy scroll wheel, it has a touch-sensitive area for four-way scrolling on either Macs or PCs.

Another innovation is its extra lithium-ion rechargeable battery, so once you've run one battery down, there's no need to park the Obsidian idly in its included recharging cradle; you can just pop the other battery in and keep right on going. This attractive 1,000-dpi mouse will first be available in Europe, and by the time it hits the United States it will cost $49.95. — Charlie White
