Our Verdict
Great build quality, well-placed buttons and a scroll wheel illustrate that the developers have set out to design and build the best mouse for mobile working.
The Swiftpoint attempts to offer a completely new approach to using a mouse with your laptop.
This mouse uses the laptop’s wrist rest as a mouse pad making the entire unit ultra compact; yet it doesn’t feel too small unless you have sausage fingers!
We liked the super-fast charging that can give you an hour’s pointing and clicking from just a 30-second charge. We were less keen on the stick-on mouse mat.
This allows accurate tracking and includes a magnetic docking station if you often work with your laptop at odd angles. But it does spoil the aesthetics of your MacBook.
For a road warrior this mouse could be a dream come true if, after years of searching for a comfortable, usable mouse, the perfect design has eluded you.
