Microsoft is one of the few manufacturers of office peripherals that allows itself to embark on bold experiments. For example, they have a separate series of rather expensive touch mice with a curving body that takes the shape of a hand. And under the flags of the Sculpt series, the company's engineers design hybrid models with touch and mechanical buttons.


Externally, Sculpt devices do not differ much from other office peripherals. As usual, the devil is in the details. Firstly, representatives of this series are equipped with an additional touch button / panel, which is located on one of the ends. It plays the role of a touchscreen simulator, with which the user can quickly open the Start menu, scroll through the browser pages, switch between running applications or flip through desktops. What's especially cool is that gesture control can be changed for yourself in the Windows mouse and keyboard control centre.

An equally important role in the success of the Sculpt series is played by an unusual 4D scroll wheel. This is a very convenient thing when working with large documents, illustrations, graphic editors, editing programs and audio sequencers. Well, do not forget about the proprietary optical sensor BlueTrack, which is equipped with all high-end manipulators of the company. In addition to excellent responsiveness and reaction speed, this sensor is friendly with any surface, be it leather, wood, stone or metal. The main thing is not glass.
