My mouse pad serves but one function – to provide a surface for my rodent to glide around. Most people would feel that’s enough, but for those desiring more you can take the Zonet ZUP8020 Multifunctional Mouse Pad for a spin.

This Zonet mouse pad, usefully most likely if you are tight on space, also offers you a four port USB 2.0 hub, stereo speakers, an integrated microphone, headphone output and audio input. All of this is built right into the pad, along with blue light which glows when you plug the mouse pad in. If you desire one, it will cost you around $20 at Amazon.

Many of you are not comfortable with your laptop’s touchpad and whenever possible choose to use a real mouse. Well, not a real one that eats cheese and spreads disease, squeaking when you click it. A computer mouse. But that’s not convenient when you’re on the go. The Logitech V550 Nano mouse could be your new favorite toy.

It has a Clip-and-Go dock that sticks to your notebook’s casing, so you can clip the cordless mouse to the outside, then take it with you. It’s a nice simple solution. This mouse also sports Logitech’s rapid-scroll wheel and an 18-month battery life. Oh, did I mention it also has a tiny wireless receiver that doesn’t stick out from the USB port? The V550 is available this month for $60 and it should make life easier for you.

The Asus Pulse Sensing Mouse does just what it sounds like it does. It measures your pulse as you work away at your computer. Then it sends the information wirelessly to software running on your PC that keeps track of your heart rate.

It might be interesting to see what gets you stressed while on your computer. Heart patients would find it very useful. Other then that if you’re a hypochondriac, I guess you could monitor your heart rate while you surf porn. You know, just to make sure you don’t overdo it. Safety first.

The mouse hasn’t undergone many changes since is creation. Here’s the most drastic change it’s ever had. See the ball there? Put your butt on the ball. Thats right, now wiggle around. You’re moving the cursor with your butt. And that tank top is turning me on… Sorry about that. Wandered off into a weird fantasy there.

So, yeah this is a ball that lets you use your butt movement as a mouse. Brought to you by the kind folks at Interaction Architecture. The name says it all. Apparently they are intended for places like airports. Maybe that’s because some places are fidget inducing? They aren’t available to the general public.

One of the things I like the least about working from a laptop is using the track pad. I end up carrying around a mouse with me so I can work more comfortably. Carrying a mouse can be a pain though, because it adds bulk and you have to plug it into your computer and keep batteries in it or remember to keep it charged. MoGo has a slick solution for the mouse problem with notebooks that it has offered for a while called the MoGo Presenter Mouse.

MoGo now has a new version of the mouse called the MoGo Presenter Mouse PC. Unlike previous MoGo mice that stored and charged in notebooks using ExpressCard/54 slots like the MoGo X54, the new MoGo mouse stores in the PC/PCMCIA Card slot.

This steampunk mouse definitely looks like a tank. It’s a Russian built tank/mouse and actually looks like the kind of steampunk tank that Russia might have constructed.

Having began life as a plain black mouse, it’s all brass and leather now. It even has little porthole type windows. The modder even went so far as to pimp the usb connection to match, which is a nice touch. I don’t think you could use it comfortably, but this thing is probably better turned into an RC steampunk tank anyhow.

We’ve seen our share of strange mice. Some are cool, some are pretty lame. Microsoft’s arc mouse actually looks pretty slick and it folds up, making it stylish, wireless and collapsible. It’s pretty rare to see a mouse that stands out like this one. For $59.95 it comes in both red and black and will be available this holiday season. It’s all about fashion according to the press release. So why not buy yourself one for the upcoming holidays.

Remember that stealth aircraft mouse we told you about last year? It’s just zipped back into our skies with new color options. I still think it’s coolest in black. Anyway I know that many of you spend your days reliving scenes from Top Gun.

What better way to keep your friendlies and boogies straight then by having more colors? This way you can keep track of Jester and Maverick and whatever the hell other names they used in that 80’s movie. It beats the plain old mouse you’re using now right? Go get one for $18. And try to get that “Ride into the danger zone” song out of your head.

WOW Technology announced today the launch of an ergonomic mouse device for computer users. It is called the WOW-Pen Joy and it will retail for around $30.

The WOW-Pen Joy is a mouse designed to ease issues around repetitive stress issues. It uses a vertical trajectory and horizontal structure, allowing users “to have the natural feeling of grabbing a joystick.”

Sure, now that you’ve seen it, it’s pretty a obvious novelty mousepad. Why didn’t anyone think of it before? It looks pretty realistic, as if it would hurt like hell to get your hand caught in it. Which is why it’s the perfect way to help keep the dirty mitts of others away from your mouse. As long as they keep their distance, they’ll be weary. It only costs $12.

Father’s Day is coming up fast and trust me when I say pops doesn’t want a tie or something else that’s pretty useless. If your dad spends lots of time working on a laptop computer using the track pad what he needs is a notebook mouse.

The MoGo Mouse is available in a special #1 Dad edition just in time for Father’s Day. The mouse itself is pretty cool too and stores and charges inside the laptops PC Card slot. That means you will want to be sure your dad’s computer has the slot needed, but most notebooks will.

The Wired Optical Ring Mouse looks like it would be impossibly frustrating to use at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, it just might be ingenious.

Just slip it over your finger, move the tiny trackball with your thumb and watch as you navigate your way around the page like a professional. I think it’s supposed to slip on your ring finger, hence the name. That way, it should be easy to manipulate the buttons with your thumb as well. It only costs £14.99.

We’ve seen our share of concept mice here at the Brick, but this one tends to hold your eye and make you pause. It looks somewhat sexy, yet unfinished. It’s almost prententious. The City mouse is designed by d-Vision and has a shape that’s supposedly much more in harmony with how we use our hands.

The design means more precise movement and fewer repetitive stress injuries. As far as anyone can tell, you don’t slide this thing around on your desk. You tilt it, rocking the curved bottom to move your arrow. It’s nice. I like it. I would rock it’s curved bottom, for sure.

Just when you think Google is finished branching out and taking over the world, comes another Google…something. In this case, it’s the Google mouse. They have a bright vivid look and these mice are recycled, so Google is already scoring some green points. And they’re wireless too. When you’re Google, your mouse has to be up to par and be at least wireless right?

They come with a WiFi dongle stored on-board and feature an 800dpi resolution. The material they are recycled from is plastic. They’re a tad loud and fugly for my taste, but hey to each his own search giant inspired mouse.

A mouse is more then just a mouse to some people. Those people want some style and color. For those, this cute little Japanese mouse is meant for comfort and fits in the palm of your hand. The Elecom Egg mouse is not new, but you may not have seen it since its a Japanese product.

For their 20 year anniversary they are releasing the M-EGUR series in six different colors. It’s being released in black, white, gray, blue, orange and pink and features three buttons, a scroll wheel and a glossy finish. It will be released mid May in Japan only for $29.
