It would be no good for me. I tend to tap my fingers and stuff. This poor little mouse would get so confused with me.

Tapping away does not confuse it, it still has a click mechanism for well clicking, its just the gestures and they are specific

I hold it with fingers either side and you just use your fingers on it, its like having mouse gestures in opera built into your mouse, so apart from moving it you the rest you do with your fingers no buttons no scroll wheel it feels great and is very intuitive, sleeps when not in use. you forget you are holding it really.

Bluetooth.

There are some windows drivers here but unsure of the functionality.
