A wireless Encryption Mouse has been introduced by Brando the Popular Gadget manufacturer. The encryption is a type of function, where when you plug in the mouse into your laptop/desktop (running on Windows OS I guess), the mouse will activate a certain feature called ‘Folder Encryption’ to lock down a certain folder in your system. The folder can be accessed only with the mouse and wireless receiver plugged. Without them, the folder will be unusable and only a genius hacker can hack in.

The mouse itself carrying a quite sensitive 1600dpi resolution and using the 2.4GHz wireless technology it can go wireless as far a 30 meters.

Weird though, usually for folder lock down we will use a software. This hardware version have its own advantages and disadvantages where if you lost/break the mouse you’ll have a hard time retrieving your content in the encrypted folder…

Wireless Encryption Mouse if yours for $22. Care to get one? If so, head on over to Brando for the detail gallery and specs.
