The mouse features an ergonomic design and wireless connectivity via a micro USB 2.0 transceiver. It also doesn’t require special software installation.

Loop Pointer is based on the Freespace technology, encountered at Logitech’s famous MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse, which increases pointing precision, while allowing you to use it from any position.
In order to avoid unintentional movement interpretation, the same technology can detect your specific tremor and increase the pointer accuracy.
