RaceMouse: compact mouse + touchpad + presenter in one body

There are two modes: Desktop Mode and Free Mode. In the first one, RaceMouse acts as an ordinary mouse with gesture support. With Free Mode, you can hold the gadget in your hand and use it as a TV remote control or a presentation tool.

▫️ Countries that have diplomatic relations with Taiwan

Taiwan, being quite a large economy and one of the world's major semiconductor manufacturers, still remains unrecognized by the international community (even by the US, despite all nice gestures like the recent arrival of Pelosi), and most countries even officially support the "one-China policy". Of course, this does not prevent them from trading with Taiwan directly, but politics and economics are cynical things.

In Europe, for example, only one country maintains official diplomatic relations with Taiwan: the Vatican. As for the closest neighbors, they are countries that not everyone can simply point at least approximately on the map (let alone find): Tuvalu, Palau, Nauru, the Marshall Islands

The best thing with the recognition of Taiwan in Latin America: some of the countries that have diplomatic relations with it can even be discerned: Paraguay, for example.
