Microsoft Arc Touch mouse, €70The Arc mouse is one of Microsoft's more stylish products, and the new Arc Touch is no exception.
Touch sensitive and impossibly thin – it’s 15mm thick at its widest point – the mouse looks more like a high-tech phone than a boring mouse. The curved shape makes it more comfortable to use, but if you want to store it – and turn it off, saving your batteries in the process – it flattens out at a touch. It has a touch-scroll strip for easy navigation, allowing you to scroll up and down a page at the flick of a finger. It even has haptic feedback, which means you’ll feel little vibrations while you scroll. Even the transceiver for your PC is tiny, and the mouse will work on almost any surface.

Optoma GT100 Mini Projector, €271
When a widescreen TV just isn’t big enough, there’s only one place left to turn: projectors. The Optoma GT100 Mini Projector is both affordable and compact, giving you a projection up to 75 inches in size. In effect this means huge videos, TV shows or console gaming sessions. It may not be high definition, but it’s easy to set up, and connects to almost any device that has an AV out connection. The LED projector has a brightness of 50 lumens – so you’ll need a decently dark room for best results, but it’s more than adequate for home use. It also has an integrated speaker, although you might feel like adding some extra power to the overall sound package because it’s only 1.5 watts.

Clingo Universal Handsfree Mount, €20
While travelling by car, sometimes it’s necessary to anchor down some of the more important devices: GPS, music player, mobile phone. The problem is that all of these devices are more than likely different sizes, and therefore require different mounts.
The Clingo Universal Handsfree Mount takes care of that. It sticks to the windscreen or dash and holds on to your portable electronic device via a sticky pad, regardless of whether it’s a Blackberry, iPhone or HTC device.
The arm can be positioned so you can view your device. If you’re nervous about leaving it on view in the car, even without your mobile phone, it can be removed easily, leaving only a small circular pad stuck to your dash or widow.
The sticky pad can be cleaned easily, and will grip most portable devices firmly without leaving any residue behind.
