Known for laptop cases and such, Targus unveiled its new ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse last week. You can switch it from right- to left-hand use (or vice versa) with a simple twist of the top.

“This is the first mouse that provides true ergonomics for right- or left-hand use, solving the age old problem of finding a mouse that truly everyone can use,” said Mike Sexton, Targus’ senior director of Global Product Management & Development.

“This, along with its gaming-level performance and precision, and sustainable benefits, including its long battery life, makes it the mouse that does it all,” he added.

Targus’ new ambidextrous mouse is made with up to 85 percent post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic and comes in packaging made from recycled materials, the company said.

It also uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to lessen power consumption and extend battery life.

“Compatible with multiple devices, it supports up to 4000 DPI to deliver gaming-level performance and has built-in infrared optical tracking technology which provides accurate control across a myriad of surfaces,” Targus said.

The mouse also has Targus DefenseGuard Antimicrobial Protection. Working throughout the product’s life, it helps create a cleaner surface by preventing the growth of microorganisms, the company said.

The ErgoFlip mouse is the newest item in Targus’ EcoSmart Collection, including its Sustainable Energy Harvesting EcoSmart Keyboard. Named a CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree, “the full-sized keyboard combines advanced energy-harvesting solar technology with post-consumer recycled materials and BLE technology in sustainable packaging,” Targus said.

You can pick up the ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse (AMB586GL) for $59.99 at Targus.com and other retailers, though it does not appear to be on Amazon yet.
