Trackball mice are back with a vengeance! Meaner and… smaller than ever, infiltrating you laptops all around the world. It’s the Genius guys again, and this time they declare war on big, power-hungry rodents.


In order to destroy the competition, Genius designed an optical mini trackball solution, the Traveler 350, which delivers superb working performance and comes with an adjustable jig. This new feature can be used with either hand, reducing any wrist injuries. It also comes with built in hotkeys to increase your working efficiency as well as media center control.

The hotkeys are especially designed for Windows Vista users: you got the Flip 3D application switcher and instant access to Media Center. In addition to the ergonomic stuff, there’s a retractable cable for easy storage, so it’s not wireless unfortunately, and it pops into a USB2.0 connector, which means its pretty responsive even in games. It’s suitable both for right-handed people as well as for lefties.

If you ask me about it I’d say it’s pretty small. I mean it’s no larger than a key-chain holder. Genius sure knows what infiltration is all about with toys like these. If this doesn’t impress you, check out its price: $46.51. So small, yet it costs just like a normal one.
