The teardrop-shaped RemotePoint cordless mouse ($199), from Interlink Electronics (Camarillo, CA), lets you work as far as 40 feet from your desktop. The device relies on an infrared transmitter and a receiver; it has a sleep mode to extend the life of its two AAA batteries. The PC version of the receiver plugs into a serial port or a PS/2 mouse port; the Mac version uses the Apple Desktop Bus interface. Neither model requires any special software.
