Posted in Remotes by Conner Flynn on September 13th, 2008

Eizo may be the coolest remote/mouse everThe Eizo C@T-one from Nanao Japan is a roundish mouse that also doubles as a TV remote. The wireless mouse works on the 2.4Ghz frequency, has a scroll wheel and an optical sensor which turns off automatically after 30 minutes in order to save power. It also sports a tilt sensor similar to the iPhone, so that when you tilt the mouse it activates the remote control.

The USB receiver is about the size of a pen drive and it’s compatible with Mac and Windows. Currently it’s available in Japan only for about $ 125.

Microsoft Explorer Mouse

Microsoft said this week its new BlueTrack Technology is the world’s “most advanced tracking technology” for consumers and their comptuer mice. Two new mice – the Explorer Mouse and Explorer Mini Mouse – are the first to debut with BlueTrack, pricing around $100 and $80, respectively.

Microsoft says this of BlueTrack: “The large, blue beam and specular optics architecture, in conjunction with a Microsoft-designed image sensor and proprietary pixel geometry, generates a high-contrast picture of the mousing surface that allows exceptional tracking accuracy. The BlueTrack Technology light beam emanating from the bottom of the mouse is more than four times as large as the average laser beam used in today’s mice, enabling reliable mouse tracking even on difficult surfaces such as carpet.”

Microsoft Arc Mouse

The much chattered about Microsoft Arc Mouse officially made its public debut today, which probably wasn’t the best planning given all of the updated iPod buzz. This slinky mouse will set you back around $60 when it debuts later this month.

The Arc Mouse comes in a thin crescent shape with your choice of black or red body colors. It sports a foldable design which reduces it by almost half for portability when snapped shut. Its micro transceiver, said Microsoft, snaps into the bottom of the mouse using a magnet, sticking out less than 1 centimeter while plugged in.

USB Ladybug mouse is cute, clickable

USB Ladybug mouse is cute, clickableYour mouse says a lot about your personality. If you like portability and great design your mouse of choice is probably the arc, while a Baseball fan would love this dorky mouse. Maybe you love the Olympics, but use these Olympic Mascot mice year round.

What I’m saying is that our mice are as varied as we are. What kind of person would use these Ladybug mice from Brando? I’m thinking girls mostly, maybe strange scientist dudes that collect bugs and put holes in the lid. I have no idea, but they look good out in the grass and for $12 you might as well get all buggy. If it doesn’t work out as a mouse you can always mod it to be a desktop Roomba or something.

Pics of Microsoft’s Arc laser mouse

Microsoft’s Arc laser mouseGizmodo found some hand’s on pics of Microsoft’s new wireless Arc mouse, which we told you about some time ago. The verdict? Looks just as drool-worthy as it did back then. The $60 mouse is portable and folds in half, thanks to a “strong metal hinge,”. Apparently the USB dongle slips into the underbelly of the mouse when not in use with a simple magnet. You also get a storage bag. According to the package you’ll get a 30-foot range. Looks sweet. What do you think? Are you good with your old mouse, or will you be rocking the Arc?

Beijing Olympics Fuwa mascot mice

Posted in Mouse by Conner Flynn on August 28th, 2008

Beijing Olympics Fuwa mascot miceThe olympics are over, but the gadgets continue thanks to Lenovo. How about a set of five wired USB mice named after each of the Fuwa mascots: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and NiNi? If you can believe it, the mouse asymmetrical design took six months to complete, after two hundred or so modifications. We’re taking that one with many grains of salt.

At 1000 dpi optical, the mice are elevated for palm support during prolonged use. The Fuwas are UV painted so they won’t get all scratched up when you make them fight each other on your desk. Each mascot mouse retails for about $20, but it looks like they’re available in China and Hong Kong only.

Asus Pulse-Sensing Mouse shows your heart rateThe 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.

Backball: A mouse for your butt

Posted in Mouse by Conner Flynn on August 7th, 2008

Interaction Architecture
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.

New MoGo Presenter Mouse stores in PC/PCMCIA slot

Posted in Mouse by Shane McGlaun on July 29th, 2008

MoGo Presenter Mouse PCOne 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.

Steampunk mouse looks like a killer tank

Steampunk mouse looks like a killer tank
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.
