Sony’s VGP-BMS80 VAIO Bluetooth Laser Mouse features technology that is a little more serious than a typical mouse. This guy will give you wireless control of your PS3 or PC as long as it’s within range.

An optical sensor on top lets you use the mouse in the air like a trackpad, making it great for presentations. I guess you could say that this is the Vaio version of a wii-mote. It will cost you $80.

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.

Microsoft is big in the R&D realm for all sorts of things from hardware to software. In fact, the company has the largest R&D budget in the world at over $9 billion according to some reports. Microsoft makes all sorts of computer mice and the firm has unveiled five prototype mice that combine new input methods with tried and true form factors.

The prototype mice were debuted at the UIST conference and combine the typical mouse with multi-touch technology. Microsoft thinks that the new mice can set a new standard for interaction. One of the most interesting is the FTIR Mouse that uses a camera to sense where the user is touching the clear surface and react to the input.

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.

Usually I see a good steampunk designed gadget and I want it. On this one I think I’ll pass. But if you are a member of the Addams family or the Munsters, this may be your ideal point and click device. Even the mouse made from real mouse parts wasn’t this creepy.

This morbid monstrosity of a mouse was created by steampunk artist Ivan Mavrovic. On his site, he says, “”the sheep dyed naturall death”. Well that may be somewhat comforting for the sheep, I don’t want to push this one around all day. Makes me feel sheepish.

One of the things I dislike most about notebooks and especially netbooks is the track pad. Most netbooks have the track pad so close to the keyboard that I end up hitting the track pad with the palm of my hand while typing.

That means I like to have a notebook mouse with me at all times. One of the coolest mice for notebooks is the Mogo Mouse that stores in the PC Card slot. The catch for netbooks is that the little machines lack a PC Card slot.

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.

One of my all-time favorite mobile mice for notebooks is the Logitech VX Nano. The reason I liked the mouse so much was that it had a tiny Nano receiver that was so small you didn’t even need to unplug it to pack up your notebook.

Logitech has announced a new Nano receiver called the Logitech Unifying Receiver that eliminates the need for multiple wireless receivers when used with compatible peripherals. The tiny receiver protrudes from the USB port only 8mm and can connect with up to six different Logitech wireless peripherals.

Microsoft has announced its latest ergonomic keyboard and mouse duo, the Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000. The keyboard features a Comfort Curve layout for natural wrist posture with a six-degree curve. The mouse on the other hand features BlueTrack technology so that you can use it on almost any surface.

Some other features include low-profile quiet touch keys and rubber grips on both sides of the Wireless Mouse 5000. You can get it later this month for $79.95. Your wrists may just thank you. Check out our review of the Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 while you are contemplating the purchase.

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.

Razer has announced a brand new gaming mouse today called the Orochi. This one connects via Bluetooth 2.0, giving gamers some extra flexibility and functionality while playing. The Razer Orochi sports a 4,000dpi optical sensor that’s ultra sensitive and designed for use by both right-handed and left-handed users.

You’ll also appreciate seven programmable buttons that can be programmed to perform whatever functions you desire. The Orochi comes with a three-foot cord, but can also be powered by two AA batteries. They even throw in a carrying case.

Belkin has unveiled a new line of comfort mice which feature a new design that’s supposed to maximize comfort while you work. It also has an all terrain optical engine so you can use the mouse on any surface. The mice will be available in wireless, Bluetooth and retractable USB versions.

The Bluetooth version will be available in Black and White for $49.99 and the wireless version comes with 2 AA batteries which will be available in fuchsia, black, blue and red for $29.99. The retractable version is $19.99 and they have the same colors as the battery versions.

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.

That’s really all we know. Ourselves, our readers and little children all have questions left unanswered. Such as…Mommy, is this where all of our recycled aluminum cans go? Sadly, probably not dear.

One of the biggest issues for users who put HTPC systems into the living room is how to control the computer from the couch across the room. A wireless keyboard will handle the typing issue, but the mouse can be more difficult since there is no desk to use.

Hillcrest Labs has announced that its Loop Pointer in-air mouse is now available for purchase. The device is compatible with Windows and Mac systems. The Loop allows the user to control the cursor on a PC screen wirelessly from across the room without needing a desk or other surface.

Smartfish has introduced its Tru:Motion Wireless Mouse and Pro:Motion Game Controller that offers up a new way to game on your computer. The Tru:Motion Wireless Mouse was designed in partnership with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York and features a pivot-motion that is ergonomic and comfortable, because the user’s wrist remains in a fixed state. Ambidextrous folks and lefties will love it and it will come with optical tracking, scroll wheel, and an aluminum finish.

The SmartFish Pro:Motion Game Controller, this is said to be the first intelligent and healthy “injury avoidance” ergonomic controller that totally does away with the risk of RSI and carpel tunnel syndrome(Yeah sure).
