How many mice can double as a scanner? Just one that we know of: the $79 IRIScan Mouse Executive 2, an upgrade to the IRIScan Mouse reviewed here back in April 2013. While it’s certainly not the device for scanning book-length documents into your computer, the IRIScan works well for short jobs of a page or two, and especially for scanning business cards into the bundled Cardiris, a state-of-the-art card-scanning and contact-management app. If your scanner requirements are low-volume, the Mouse Executive 2 eliminates the need for a second device, and that’s especially true for light scanning on the road.
