Sanwa Supply has introduced the 400-MAWBT204BK, a handheld mouse designed for wireless control of computers. This device features a pointing stick, which is similar to the Lenovo TrackPoint, allowing users to move the cursor without needing a flat surface. This is particularly beneficial for AR/VR/XR users, as well as those who prefer to control applications while walking in virtual reality or relaxing in bed.
User-Friendly Design
The pointing stick is encircled by a control pad that includes four buttons for easy navigation—page up, page down, next page, and previous page—making it convenient for managing presentations or reading eBooks. Additionally, a media control pad located below the mouse pad enables users to manage media playback directly, eliminating the need to move the cursor to on-screen play, fast forward, rewind, or volume settings. In between the two pads, there’s a scroll wheel that allows for precise scrolling through pages.
Specifications and Features
This wireless handheld mouse has a weight of 1.98 oz. (56 g) and dimensions of 2.28 x 4.5 x 2.22 in. (5.78 x 11.43 x 5.63 cm). It includes a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi USB-A receiver that can be stored within the mouse’s grip for easy transportation. Users can switch between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 mode using a switch on the mouse. When in Bluetooth mode, this mouse is compatible with devices running Android OS, Apple iOS, Chrome OS, MacOS, and Windows. The rechargeable battery offers around 75 hours of usage under normal conditions.
Pricing and Availability
The Sanwa Supply 400-MAWBT204BK is priced at 7,480 yen (approximately $49) and can be purchased through Sanwa Direct in Japan. For those who haven’t yet explored virtual reality, the popular Meta Quest 3 headset is available on Amazon right now.
