The official mouse of the financial crisis. With just one click of this mouse you can get a nifty bailout, assign million dollar raises to your cronies and book a flight to some far away land where you can’t be questioned. It’s like magic, this mouse.

This isn’t just tasteless bling, it’s wireless bling. The gold bullion wireless mouse. The warehouse where these are stored may look like Fort Knox, but if you melt this stuff down all you get is a lump of burnt plastic. Not that anyone at this warehouse has a job anymore. So there’s no one there to see this pile of mice in all their bullion glory. Sad.

Those who like to take pointing and clicking literally will love this arrow shaped like a mouse. You get my point? It’s a point well taken. It will even get your point across. And point you in the right direction.

That’ll be enough of that. It’s got 800dpi, a scroll wheel, it will probably cripple your hand too. It’s available in red or black. Too bad it isn’t wireless, but it comes with a retractable attached USB cable. The USB Arrow Optical Mouse retails for $12.00.

Elecom Japan introduced their latest hi-end mouse, which is a bit unusual. The Scope Node M-SN1UL. They’ve completely redone the design for “pen and paper” like precision for pointing at things with your favorite tool, the mouse.

It has a laser sensor (1600dpi) placed where a pen point is typically located in your hand. With the device’s off-center laser, Elecom claims a high level of precision. For some reason it also has a weird exposed scroll wheel, that looks kinda neat. It’s only available in Japan, so if you live anywhere else, you’ll have to make due with less than accurate pointing.

Weight-adjustable mice are nothing new, they just tend to get ignored. Sharkoon(The company that can’t decide if it’s a shark or a raccoon) is hoping that a fiery exterior will get your attention. It not only has the flame motiff, but the slug chamber looks like the chamber in a gun. Probably symbolic of you biting the bullet and actually buying one.

So to summarize, the Rush FireGlider has flames, a no-slip grip, a half dozen programmable buttons, maximum resolution of 3,600 DPI, Teflon feet for superior gliding and an internal tuning system to adjust its weight from 118 to 135 grams. Oh yeah and the bullet chamber thing.

If you go to your local electronics store and look at the display of mice for your computer or notebook, you will notice that they are all very similar in design. Not only do they share the same design and similar technology, the shape means that virtually all mice put stress on the same parts of the hand and wrist.

Cyber E Sport has introduced a new mouse that uses a unique design that reminds me of a red blood cell with a concave design. The round mouse has an indention in the middle and uses wireless 2.4GHz connectivity.

The Z-Nano is truly the world’s smallest mouse. It measures just 42mm (1.65″) x 21mm (0.83″) x 17.65mm (0.69″), it’s not much bigger than it’s attached USB cable or your fingertip. The cable even clips into the mouse itself with a powerful magnet for easy storage.

It even features a slot that you can use to slip in your own tiny photo to personalize the mouse. You’ll need to squint to see it. The world’s smallest mouse will cost you $60 and it will make your hand feel all weird and lonely, while your finger does all the work.

Daniel Pon loves Steampunk. So when it came time to make a steampunk mouse to go with his Steampunk keyboard and monitor, he went a little crazy with the design. The end result? Pretty damn cool. And maybe a bit morbid.

The Paradox Mouse is a great steampunk mod with typical brass, bolts, gears, wood, etc. A great neo-Victorian peripheral. But it has a few extra features that Daniel calls “ironic”. These features are a real mouse skull, shoulder blades and spine, all lovingly worked into the project. The skull sits on the front of the mouse, the shoulder blades as miniature cattle catchers, and the spine as the palmrest.

Peanuts fans have something new to buy. If you bought the Peanuts laptop, plan on buying the Snoopy video game and just can’t get enough of Snoopy and his little bird buddy, you may want to consider this mouse and usb hub.

Kokuyo has just unveiled the Snoopy USB hub and Mouse. The four port hub is available in two colors featuring Snoopy and his pal Woodstock having fun. The 800 dpi optical mouse comes in blue with Snoopy sleeping. The Japan only product will hit stores December 22 just in time for Christmas.

At first glance, this looks like a bunch of broken oriental pottery. It’s actually a picture of three Microsoft Arc Mice all dressed up like oriental pottery. So you see, the Arc mouse really is a beautiful mouse. No other mouses looks so stunning amid ginger roots and fine china.

This is a special edition of the Arc Mouse that Hong Kong design store Goods of Desire turned it into a work of art. Very nice. We’d like to see more mice make dramatic statements like these.

Here’s a unique mouse. Probably good for drug dealers and those who like weighing really small objects. It’s a standard USB optical mouse, but it also flips open to reveal a digital scale. I’m not sure how much a quality drug scale will run you these days, but at $50, the Optical Mouse & Digital Scale will allow you to rip off your customers while at the same time read your favorite blogs. It should also hide the fact that you have a small drug scale, like during a raid.

The Digital Scale has a 500g (17.635oz) weight capacity with readability to .1g (0.005oz). So it’s for real small operations. There’s also an internal rechargeable battery if you want to use the scale without being hooked up to the USB cord.

This just may be the smallest mouse ever, just like they are claiming. You may even look silly using it. It measures just 38×68×28mm and weighs 35 grams. The e-blue PEQUENO from OTAS not only claims to be the smallest, but also the lightest wireless mouse available on the Japanese market today. The 2.4GHz mouse features three different resolutions (400dpi,800dpi and 1600dp) and a battery life of 21 hours. It’s compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 and runs on Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS X 10.2 and higher. It will cost you $63.

Is this the next step in mouse evolution. It is if you’re Jose E. Rivera and this is your mouse. It’s a highly evolved USB mouse, that can unfold its wings and just look creepy. The next step in it’s evolution is to take flight, attack and lay eggs in you somewhere. That’s when an organic USB port will appear on your abdomen. Once you plug in, the warmth generated VIA USB will incubate it’s eggs, until baby flying scarab-demons burst from your chest. But you don’t have to worry about that…Unless you’re Jose E. Rivera.

If you need yet another gadget with Scrolling LED messages, check out this USB computer mouse. It has a built-in fan to keep your hand cool. The best part is that you can create your own message and store it on the LED scrolling board inside the mouse.

It displays when the fan is switched on. Great way to give yourself important reminders or if you share the computer, type in something funny so your friend will see it. This has got to be the most pointless gadget of the week. Whatever message you choose, your hand will be covering it up for the price of $35.

If you have an unnatural love of wooden gadgets, you might want to caress the grainy surfaces of the Wood Grain Optical Mouse. This optical 800 dpi USB mouse sports USB 2.0 connectivity, true 800DPI, and 3-buttons Optical Mouse. Best of all it’s only $12. It will go with the rest of your wood gadgets, like those wooden animal drives on your desk for instance.

Why do you love wooden gadgets so much anyway? Are you working on a theme or something? Trying to be some kind of wood-dude? Like a James Bond villain whose thing is to have wood everything? I just noticed that it’s all wood with you. I mean, it’s overkill. It’s an addiction is what it is. You know you don’t need this mouse, but you’ll get it, Woody. Woodrow.

Love cars? Love zipping your mouse around your desktop pretending it’s a Mustang? Then this might be your thing Speed Racer. These mice are modeled after a range of classics including the Ford Mustang GT, a Chevy Concept Camaro and a Dodge Charger SRT8. The Road Mice collection offers 800 dpi resolution and will work with both PC and Mac. As for ergonomics, not so much. But they’ll let you enjoy a scaled down version if you can’t have the real deal parked in your garage. They retail for $44.95.
