Interesting to see this tech that was demoware years ago come to the market. It's a classic chicken-and-egg scenario though: without device makers integrating this hardware, it only works with clunky dongles. Seems impractical on every level.

The Melt Mouse is what Apple's Magic Mouse should have been updated to years ago. I use the Magic Trackpad so this isn't something I'd buy. But if any of you are still punishing yourself by using a Magic Mouse...this looks interesting!

It's funny for me to see a hotel specify a WiFi device limit; 100 is basically unlimited, so why display a limit at all? 🤨
