This mouse makes perfect sense to me. Normally when I am computing I’m making all kinds of gestures at my laptop, might as well do something productive with my threatening moves.

To change the volume, you press and hold the volume button and simply gesture – to the right to increase volume, or to the left to decrease it. For music applications, a small circular motion to the right activates the skip track command, while a circle to the left repeats the song.

Logitech’s using a technology it call Freespace to enable the gesture controls.
