Anyone who lugs a laptop around knows how difficult it can be to fit other important documents and peripherals in your laptop bag alongside it. If you have a great bag it's a bit easier, but you still lose a lot of space carrying things like extra batteries, a bulky AC adapter, or even an external mouse. While it won't win any awards for "world's smallest," the Slimouse is designed to make traveling a little easier just by being a little smaller.

The attractive silver Slimouse has a shiny, bullet-shaped design; it's small enough that it fits entirely under a hand at rest on a flat surface. This tiny mouse, only 1-inch wide by 3-inches long and a half-inch deep, is uniform on each side, so it can be used by both left or right-handed people.

Even though it's small, the Slimouse doesn't skimp on features. The optical sensor offers mousing precision, and even though it looks like a single-button mouse, the button is actually a rocker switch that toggles for both left and right-clicking. There's even a scroll wheel on the right side of the mouse that can be operated with the same finger you use to click. The entire mouse is designed to only be used with your thumb and forefinger, and is about as long as your forefinger, at that. One of these tiny space-savers can slide into your laptop bag for $24.99.
