BatteryFree Wireless Optical Mouse
A4 Tech has created quite an interesting little gadget with their BatteryFree Wireless Optical Mouse. The mouse uses RFID technology to communicate position and button states to a mouse pad which plugs into your USB port.

This results in a mouse with no wires leading out of it and which is far lighter than conventional wireless mice. In fact, it’s a bit lighter than my conventional wired optical mouse.

For some this may not seem to meet the full definition of “wireless”.
