You’re in presenter mode, which has controls that can be used to drive PowerPoint slideshows including separate buttons for ‘next slide’ and ‘previous slide’ as well as ‘blank screen.’ There are also media controls for ‘volume up’ and ‘volume down’ and the ‘blank screen’ key doubles as media ‘play/pause.’ Oh, and in presenter mode, the topside mouse controls double as ‘digital ink’ controls for annotating slides. On the top of the mouse is a button that switches between mouse mode and presenter mode. Continuing on this theme are a set of overlapping features that set this mouse apart for me. Laser pointer? Why, yes! A handy feature for those of us who must do the dreaded “dog and pony show” (AKA presentations) while on the road.

Regarding the image below, for perspective my hands are average- to a bit small-sized adult male human hands. Ergonomically shaped, with a comfortable form factor and rubberized side grips, it is also right- or left-hand capable for those ambidextrous among us (you know who you are). However, the number of features that have been packed into this fairly small envelope are quite impressive.
