We've grumbled once or twice about their premium prices (although, to be fair, its top of the line is $75 while rival Logitech just hit $80), but readers of these reviews know we've given many thumbs up to Microsoft mice for sleek design and comfortable control. So we're glad Microsoft has joined the ranks of mini-mice -- downsized, briefcase- and airline-tray-table-ready replacements for a notebook's touchpad or pointing stick, increasingly popular with not only laptop travelers but desktop users with small hands. We just didn't expect Microsoft's entry to be upstaged by a little-known mouse from an office-supply company.
