Poker / Weramouse Mouse
Intro: I review a lot of products and come across many sites
through blogs such as Engadget and Gizmodo. Here I saw this mouse and
thought I give it a try. The Pokermouse V2 is a pistol grip style
mouse. It's a bit different than any other mouse I’ve come across.
Design: Made of plastic the mouse feels good in hand. It says
proudly made in China which I found kind of funny. But what isn’t made
in China these days. It came with a usb cable to charge the internal
battery. Receive to go wireless. A simple manual and of course the
Pokermouse. Overall the quality as good as my Microsoft PC mouse. It
feels good in hand and should last a good while. According the manual
the battery should last at least 3 years.
Function: First grab the usb cable and the Pokermouse and connect
it to the laptop or PC. A red light will show up this means it’s
charging. When it turns green then your mouse is fully charged. Next
connect the receiver to an open usb port. Now you have to pair the two
together. There is a button on the bottom of the Pokermouse and a
button on the receiver. Once I press both buttons at the same time a
couple of seconds later the mouse cursor moves and I’m all set. I used
the mouse online and to play some Yahoo free games online. And found
that the mouse works remarkably well. Very similar to a real mouse.
Except you could be lying in bed and player various games online.
Something you can’t do with your wired PC mouse. The trackball works
pretty similar to the built in trackpad in my HP 2140. It's not perfect
but better than expected.
Conclusion: This is an excellent mouse for those who like to surf
the web or play online games. For the slacker it’s perfect. The
ability to get unwired and move around the mouse is great. It sort of
the interactive feel of the Wii controller. For someone like me who is
constantly on the computer this mouse is great while I can browse a site
from a distance.
