You'll get plenty of touchy-feely with Logitech's new $99 WingMan Force Feedback Mouse. Using Immersion's funky Feelit technology, this rodent gives you added sensation as you scroll around. When your cursor moves over folders or hyperlinks, for example, you feel virtual "bumps"--a strange type of magnetic pull. The effects are meant to enliven games: When we tested a shipping unit, the mouse--whoa--gyrated almost uncontrollably in an explosion scene (we kid you not!). Three games are bundled, including Railroad Tycoon II Gold and Heavy Gear II. However, the mouse requires a bundled pad that limits range of motion, and our PC World Test Center experts say it's hard to stay ahead in a game with such frenetic mouse action. WingMan's main appeal is novelty.
