Since the wheel was already invented, this cannot be considered a Microsoft's innovation. biz.yahoo.com Microsoft Unveils Its Most Full-Featured Mouse Ever; Wheel-Equipped IntelliMouse Pro Offers Outstanding Comfort Encourages Natural Position to Keep Hand and Arm Relaxed REDMOND, Wash., May 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT - news) today announced the availability of the Microsoft(R) IntelliMouse(R) Pro pointing device. IntelliMouse Pro features an advanced design that embodies years of user testing and the latest thinking in ergonomics. Microsoft's popular wheel control, which now allows zooming and universal scrolling functions, gives IntelliMouse Pro outstanding comfort and efficiency. ''Every element of IntelliMouse Pro, from its unique arched shape to the texture of the rubber grip around its base, is the product of extensive user research,'' said Tim McDonough, product manager for the mouse line at Microsoft. ''Microsoft's world-renowned ergonomics team designed IntelliMouse Pro to be as comfortable to use as possible.'' The new high-arching shape of IntelliMouse Pro provides support to the palm and fingers, and its slope -- downward and to the right -- helps users assume a natural position very similar to that of the hand at rest on a table or desk. The rubber base of IntelliMouse Pro is designed to make the mouse easier to hold and grip. Each feature was designed with the user's comfort in mind.
