My TOY: Wow-Pen Eco

By Mitchell Amihod

Home

Is it a mouse? Is it a pen? It’s both. The Wow-Pen – the input device with an identity crisis – gives you mouse-like functions (including three buttons and a scroll wheel), but with a more natural grip.

Suitably small, I can use it on the corner of my laptop. So whether on my couch or in coach, it’s far easier to use than a regular track pad or one of those little keyboard nubs. (You can also get the new wireless version, aptly dubbed the Wow-Pen Traveler.) While some may be taken aback by its novel and unconventional shape, I can’t help but go, um, Wow! when I use it.
