Since launching in July of 2013, Leap Motion has achieved 1 million app downloads from its Airspace Store. What exactly is Leap Motion? Well, Leap Motion is a motion sensing mouse used for human to computer interaction. That's right, you can now use your hands to control your computer. The Leap Motion comes with the controller, a USB cable to connect to your computer, and an information guide. In total it cost about $80, and it can be purchased on the web site (leapmotion.com) or possibly Best Buy. Whats amazing is that the Leap Motion does not take over your mouse/trackpad/keyboard it actually works with them without needing any special cables. This new device can be used with Google Applications, such as Google Earth. Zoom in to various locations with your fingers, spin to various locations, without the need of a mouse. Once purchased you will be able to enjoy a whole new world of apps. In conclusion the Leap Motion can do anything from browsing the web, painting and sculpting objects, playing the air guitar, and shooting bad guys with your fingers. Could this be the future of the mouse?

Windows 8 Start Button Has Returned: On A Mouse
The Windows team has never had it easy since Apple came around. As a result of major user backlash, Microsoft put the Start Button back into Windows 8. But, you have to buy a mouse to use it.
The Sculpt Comfort Mouse has a blue strip on the left-hand side. Swiping up on the strip cycles through apps; swiping down reveals the Metro app task switcher. Pressing the button will take you to the Start screen. The mouse connects to your PC using Bluetooth. It will cost $39.95 when it goes on sale in June.
The Sculpt Mobile Mouse has a simple Start button next to its wheel that will open the Start menu in Windows 7 or the Start screen in Windows 8. The Sculpt Mobile is a wireless USB mouse, and it will cost $29.95 when it goes on sale this month.
I'm not sure whether this will satisfy the quells of Windows 8 rebellers. This will certainly be something to watch.
