Swiftpoint Launches a Unique Device Enabling Truly Natural Touch Gestures Without Having to Reach for the Screen


CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand --(Business Wire)--

In just two weeks, Swiftpoint's launch of its new generation computer mouse Swiftpoint GT has achieved over 1,100 backers and over 500% of the launch goal. The launch campaign runs until December 8, with pre-orders available at www.swiftpoint.com/ks for several configurations including Christmas gift packs.

Swiftpoint GT is the first device to combine truly natural touch gestures with the precision and convenience of a traditional mouse. It can be used with Windows 7, 8 and 10, Mac OS X and Android (News - Alert) computers, and iPads (using a remote desktop application). Unlike any other mouse, it offers the ability to swipe or flick using a natural finger and wrist action without having to reach for the screen or even needing a touch screen.



Swiftpoint GT speeds up work in popular office applications and reduces user fatigue. Its unique ergonomic pen-like grip is comfortable for all hand sizes. Being very light and small, Swiftpoint GT meets the needs of people who travel a lot or just carry their laptops from one meeting to another. It offers two types of wireless connectivity with Bluetooth 4 or a USB receiver, and has an internal rechargeable battery. The product is backed with a two-year warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

Swiftpoint GT is a recipient of the 2015 CES (News - Alert) Best of Innovation Award in the Computer Peripherals category.


Swiftpoint Founder and CEO Grant Odgers says "The Kickstarter community represents some of the most knowledgeable and passionate technology enthusiasts in the world. It's incredibly exciting that Swiftpoint GT has reached 1,100 backers on Kickstarter in just two weeks of the campaign. This validates the need for a device that bridges the gap between touch and non-touch modes of operating your desktop, laptop or tablet computer".

Pre-orders for Swiftpoint GT at special pricing with pre-Christmas delivery are available until December 8 at www.swiftpoint.com/ks
