VGP-BMS80 is the latest VAIO Bluetooth Laser mouse and trust me Sony has come up with a different kind of a mouse this time. Since VAIO as a brand has been introduced there were a dozen of mice that Sony created and in recent years bluetooth mice dominate the market. All kinds of colors were introduced to match your VAIO. I will be prepping up a post in the near future about a VAIO Mouse and how this device has been evolving throughout years. For now, check out this pictorial and watch out for the upcoming video of this laser mouse to be paired with PS3. Our earlier post about it can be found here.
The Bluetooth Laser Mouse VGP-BMS80 is a multifunctional mouse that can connect to a VAIO PC or PLAYSTATION 3 without using a dedicated device driver. It has the following modes of operation:
1. PC Modes. There are 2 PC Modes available for you to operate with your VAIO:
- Air Mode
- Mouse Mode
During Air Mode you can freely operate your personal computer at a distance from the display. For example, you can operate your VAIO connected to a TV to play movies or music, or view a Web browser from the comfort of a sofa. While in Air Mode, the mouse operates in your hand and does not have to be on any surface.
During Mouse Mode you can use this BT multifunctional mouse as a standard mouse with some enhanced features for browsing, scrolling, etc (additional software supplied).
PS3 Mode
There are two modes available: Air and Mouse mode. Once connected to PS3, the mouse functions similarly to a PS3 controller. However, the mouse has no functionality within PS3 games.
You can move the mouse pointer freely with the Optical Finger Sensor in the middle of the mouse. You can also input an URL or perform keyword searches using the supplied software keyboard. The input language is switched to your personal computer’s display language. Compliant languages are English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Japanese.
