Microsoft announced a new mouse tracking technology today, called BlueTrack, that will be available in stores starting next month. Software gurus say that the new mice are more precise than the existing laser and optical. One of the main perks of the new technology is that the mice can work on many different types of surfaces, anything from granite countertop to carpet even. The BlueTrack technology uses a blue light beam sensor that is four times the size of the standard beam. A new Microsoft tracking sensor was designed which contributes to the ability of the mice to be used on different surfaces. The mice will be available in one standard size and also a smaller size, which will be priced at $99 and $79, respectively. Besides the BlueTrack technology, Microsoft also announced a new Arc Mouse, which uses a unique slanted shape and is also able to fold into a smaller, more portable mouse.
