The elegant looking ID Mouse shown here was recently showcased at Dutch Design Week 2009. The Bluetooth-enabled mouse is all about luxury and you know what that means. It means a hefty price tag. How about $1200?

Yeah, I appreciate great design as much as anyone, but there ain’t no way I’m buying a mouse for $1200. I don’t care if it is made of hand-formed grade 1 titanium with a high-quality plastic finish. I also don’t care if it has a 3-button neodymium scroll wheel for smooth scrolling.

And one ring shall rule them all. Want to connect your computer to your home TV, so you can enjoy TV shows, movies and more? Now you can navigate Hulu, Amazon Video on Demand, YouTube and Netflix, play your own videos and music with iTunes or Media Center without a keyboard or mouse while at the couch.

Instead use the Hillcrest Labs Loop pointer, the in-air mouse, which doesn’t look awkward at all. It’s a motion-sensing mouse that moves your cursor much like a Wiimote. It has just four buttons and a scroll wheel and uses your computer’s USB 2.0 port.

Brando has been busy building a more secure mouse. The Wireless Encryption Mouse makes it easy to secure sensitive data on your laptop. That’s because it features a “Folder Encryption” function, where folders can be encrypted on your PC, so that they can only be accessed when the mouse and wireless receiver is plugged in. That should keep your naughty pictures safe.

The Wireless Encryption Mouse is available in green, red, yellow and silver and works on the 2.4GHz wireless frequency with 1600dpi resolution. The Wireless Encryption Mouse will cost you $22.

Almost exactly a year since Movea introduced its Gyration Air Mouse, the Air Mouse Elite is here. Just like the previous incarnation, this one also responds to natural hand movements and enables you to get further away from the mousepad and act like a wizard.

The built-in motion sensors allow it to receive commands using “slight wrist movements performed in the air,” and it works up to 100 feet away from the PC. The mouse also ships with tools for customizing gestures.

Want to send someone a message about their personal hygiene? Why not gift them the Soap Mouse from Elecom. The company just launched this USB mouse that looks like… soap. Soap on a usb rope if you will.

The Elecom M-SP1UR/ M-SP2UR optical mouse features 800dpi resolution and weighs just 65-grams. It won’t clean anything and it just smells like plastic, but if you are a fan of soap, hey why not. It’s available in three colors and retails for 2000 Yen or about $21.

Here’s a good solution for you folks who use an endless supply of Post-it notes. The Scratch-n-Scroll mousepad from Quirky will help you keep things nice and tidy. The idea is that you can jot down your important notes or messages on the mousepad with just your fingertip.

Then once you have transferred them over to something more permanent, or when you are done with the message entirely, you just lift up the transparent top sheet and let it fall back flat.

This mouse looks like it has a deadly case of blisters. The MouseBlister claims to reduce tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, but we can’t see anybody shelling out good money to ugly up their mouse in this way. Can you say scam?

Is it a mouse or a rubbery porcupine? The funny thing is that apparently it took more than a year to develop the technology to stick little bits of rubber onto a mouse. Just get an ergonomic mouse and keyboard and move on from this horror show.

Are you tired of your serious looking and boring mouse? Want something a bit different that will make you hungry and strain your wrist at the same time? Try this wireless mouse. It looks like a bar of chocolate with a bite taken out.

It can be yours for £21.99 ($36) and requires two AAA batteries to operate. It will compliment your chocolate iPhone case and your chocolate DS case very nicely. If you have all three, you may have an addiction to fake chocolate wrapped gadgets.

Supposedly it beats all other mice and will perform as well or better on smooth surfaces including granite and even on surfaces like a carpet and unfinished wood. The 2.4GHz Nano USB transceiver won’t stick out more than 0.4″ from your USB port, so you can leave it in all the time.

If you’re looking for something a bit more attractive in a laser mouse, check out this shiny aluminum beauty. The VGP-BMS10 Bluetooth mouse features an aluminum case and a sliding cover that also acts as an on/off switch, and will protect the buttons and wheel.
