This is the second time we’ve encountered the Icon7 brand (we were given the Icon7 Z500 gaming mouse before). This time, they sent us the Icon7 Twister Revolution — a laser presenter and mouse, all in one pocket-sized device.
The Twister Evolution is not your typical laptop mouse. It’s primarily a wireless laser presenter that doubles as a pocket mouse. So unless you’re in sales or marketing/PR, or do a lot of presentation on a regular basis, I don’t think this might really appeal to you.
Icon7 Twister
Laser 1200 dpi resolution
2.4GHz, USB 1.1 or above
3 mouse buttons
6 presenter buttons
The device comes with a small bluetooth receiver hidden at the bottom end and plugs right into your PC or laptop. Once you twist the device around in the middle, the mouse features are automatically activated and connected to the sensor.
Twist it back again and you activate the wireless presenter. The design actually reminded me of the MS Arc Mouse, though with much less flair but more functionality.
Usage is pretty much straight-forward but it comes with a manual and CD installer for Windows, just in case you want to configure the mouse sensitivity or set custom button functions.
Everything else is practically plug-and-play.
The Icon7 Twister Evolution is being distributed by AsianTech nationwide and will retail for about Php4,500 when it hits the stores.
Wow, another helpful gadget for presentation.
