If you really want to save place when you travel , this new mouse concept might be a good solution. The Jellyclick is an inflatable mouse, so you can pull it out of the bag, blow some air inside and start clicking. Once you’ve finished using it, just empty the air, roll it up and put it back in your pocket or elsewhere. Not a bad idea !
