Love it or loathe it, touch technology is becoming an integral component of many modern-day gadgets.
Our smartphones all have it, and, judging by the tablet-friendly features of Microsoft's upcoming Windows 8 operating system, our PCs are shaping up to follow suit.
Perhaps with that in mind, peripheral manufacturer Logitech is giving itself a head start with the launch of the Touch Mouse M600.
Eschewing extra buttons in favour of a touch surface, the M600 follows in the footsteps of Apple's Magic Mouse and Microsoft's Touch Mouse by providing support for swipe and scroll gestures.
The mouse is wireless (connected via a standard Logitech Unifying receiver), powered by a pair of AA batteries, and compatible only with Windows, but it can be configured for left- or right-handed users through the bundled SetPoint software.
I can't say I've ever felt the need to use a touch interface with my PC, but if you are feeling a burning desire to unify the desktop and smartphone experience, Logitech reckons this is the mouse to do it and you'll be able to pick it up from Dixons later this month priced at £59.99.
