It's a gadget we likely overlook everyday that has only seen incremental innovation in the last decade: the computer mouse. Now, a European company wants to not only make the mouse "smart," but more mobile by moving with you across devices.

Designed by the team at Italy- and UK-based firm Laura Sapiens, the Ego! Smartmouse stores your digital identity and files, allowing you to move across various computers and systems. Anything that can link up via Bluetooth technology can potentially accept input from the mouse.

In addition to being an optical mouse, it has features you normally see in a smartphone: an accelerometer, compass, gyroscope, touch sensor, embedded VGA camera — and it even runs its own Linux OS. Not only can you utilize its available 2GB, 4GB or 8GB of flash memory as a portable storage device, but the Ego! Smartmouse comes with cloud storage.

You could seamlessly move from any Bluetooth-capable desktop, laptop, projector and gaming system with this mouse. With both 2D and 3D modes, freely using the mouse in the air should work, in addition to using it on a desk. The mouse's battery is rechargeable with a micro-USB connection.

With that much data and power packed into one device, security is a concern. But similar to Apple iCloud's ability to remotely lock a lost device, you could block the Ego! Smartmouse to protect its data if it's stolen or gets lost.

The team behind the mouse is trying to raise 20,000 British pounds — around $30,130 — on Kickstarter. So far, they've reached 15,824 pounds, with 35 days left to go.

If the team's Kickstarter campaign is successful, the first of the Ego! Smartmice are expected to ship in June. The Windows software for the mice is also expected in June, while the Mac version may be ready in July.
