The mouse also lacks any type of small carry bag as well which I think would have been very useful to protect the device when it gets tossed in a bag for travel. However, both of these things, although inconvenient, did not make use of the mouse impossible. I also would findВ myself mis-clicking for a Context Menu right click because my finger was not far enough over to the right of the mouse surface. I have larger than normal hands and I found the Wedge Touch Mouse to be too small at times for prolonged use as it caused my fingers and hand to cramp up.

It is very functional and has some gesture support for scrolling side to side in Windows 8 however, you can not swipe in from the various edges to get the Charms and Apps Bar in Windows 8.

The Wedge Touch Mouse is smaller than you think it is as the pictures really do not do it justice in showing the small size. It does take a little time to get used to the layout and the vicinity of the keys but you will adapt pretty quickly. It is a standard keyboard layout with chicklet style keys that are spaced very closely to each other as you can see. With the cover in place on the keyboard I had no heartburn tossing this into my backpack or computer bag for travelling. Prior to testing the Wedge Mobile Keyboard I used a copy holder as a makeshift stand to hold my tablet. So not only does the cover do its job to protect the keyboard but it doubles as a stand to hold your tablet. The keyboard cover itself is made of a firm material which is made in such a way that allows the cover to be folded in the middle and turned into a tablet stand. The keyboard comes with a very unique cover that shuts off the keyboard when the cover is snapped over it. They are quite compact compared to other mice and mobile keyboards I have used with my tablets. Of course the common Wedge name helps with that assumption as well. The devices have a great look and are obviously built with similar materials to match together as a set.

My review here is not about specs but about functionality and portability because these devices are really targeted towards usage with tablets although nothing says they can not be paired with a full size desktop system either. The usage experience was the same on both devices as they easily paired with each one via Bluetooth. I primarily used these with my Acer Iconia Tab W500 and in November I was able to use the with a brand new Microsoft Surface RT for a couple of weeks.

I have had the opportunity over the last several weeks to put a Wedge Touch Mouse and a Wedge Mobile Keyboard from Microsoft Hardware through their paces courtesy of Microsoft Hardware.
