PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Well in today's review I will be looking at the A4Tech
NB30 wireless and batteryless mouse. This concept was confusing me from
the get go, and I couldn't possibly see how this would work well, let
alone work. Basically the mouse works by receiving electromagnetic inductive
energy, this eliminates any radio frequency interference of a regular
wireless mouse, and gives constant power without warranting batteries;
though only if the mouse is touching the mousepad. I will bring you
to the realm of the batteryless mouse and show you what to know before
you spend the money on this new computer peripheral.
