OreObject Thinks You Need A Ball-Shaped Steel Mouse

This is the OreObject SPHEREtouch mouse. It's basically an overpriced touch-sensitive ball. It doesn't matter that it's handcrafted out of steel, titanium, or platinum because it still looks more like a tacky paperweight than like a mouse. More »

Hand-Mounted Mouse or Goa'uld Weapon?

Maybe I've been watching too many Stargate reruns or maybe the AirMouse hand-mounted input device was really inspired by Goa'uld technology. Either way, I'm skeptical about its ability to prevent repetitive stress injuries. More »

The Cursor T-Shirt Lives Up To Its Namesake

I'd never considered that "the cursor" may have gotten its name from a skill set having nothing to do with computers, but clearly the cursor is the ultimate human interface element for good reason. $10. [woot]

One Man, One Mouse, Three Hours

It only took graphic designer Anatoly Zenkov a few hours of Photoshop work to log this exhausting, web-like trail with his cursor. Here's how he recorded it, and how you can too. [Flickr]

Mad Catz Eclipse Keyboard and Mouse Join the Touch-Sensitive Party

These new Eclipse keyboards and mice from Mad Catz are pretty standard fare, except for one key feature—touch sensitivity. The keyboard has a 3-in-1 touchpanel keypad, and the mouse is able to understand finger gestures. More »

SteelSeries Xai HD Gaming Mouse Review: Amazingly Ambidextrous

An outlier in PC gaming, SteelSeries' gear won't outglow Chernobyl. It's unassuming and utilitarian, like ThinkPads. They take themselves a little too seriously. But Xai is possibly the best ambidextrous gaming mouse I've ever used, despite the ridiculous HD gimmick. More »

The Apple Mouse, Evolved (and Humping)

Living, breathing mice evolved over millions of years. The Apple mouse has mutated from a beige box to contoured sliver, like a big drop of mercury, in just over 20. More »

MagicPrefs Is Like Pixie Dust for the Magic Mouse (A Must Download)

If you have a Magic Mouse, you need to download MagicPrefs—it lets you fully customize gestures, swipes, touch sensitivity and, crucially if you've got a 27-inch iMac, double the tracking speed. It's free. [Apple]

Run, Jerry, Run! The Better Mouse Trap is Here

My favorite cartoon character growing up was the sly Jerry from Tom & Jerry fame, but after seeing the in-action video, I somehow have doubts that even he could survive an encounter with the Better Mousetrap. More »

Do We Honestly Think People Like Those Below Would Join a Pet Mouse Dating Site?

And you thought your dating site was niche. This concept dating service for pet mice owners lets singletons meet other like-minded individuals, and if their mice "get on" then with any luck, so should the humans. More »

The Track Ball Mouse Numerical Keypad Hub Does Not Think Less Is More

The very literally named Track Ball Mouse Numerical Keypad Hub manages to Frankenstein an array of accessories into a trackball-style mouse. It also continues the long tradition of lefty-hating trackball mice. More »

Razer Imperator Gaming Mouse With Slip-Slidey Thumb Buttons

Razer's Imperator is pretty standard right-handed Razer gaming mouse (5600dpi tracking, etc.), but it has sliding thumb buttons, so you can adjust exactly where they sit on the mouse. Could be gimmicky, but I'm definitely intrigued. [Razer]

Razer's No-Frills Abyssus Gaming Mouse Needs More Frills

I'm a minimalist when it comes to mouse bling, but for $50, Razer's Abyssus is a little too lean—there aren't even any thumb buttons—just raw 3500DPI tracking and a 1ms response time with on-the-fly adjustment. More »

OpenOfficeMouse Is An 18 Button Freak, But I Want It

18 programmable buttons. E-I-G-H-T-E-E-N! Forget the 512k of flash memory, analog Xbox 360-style joystick, basic scroll wheel and whatever-else-is-in-there. 18 buttons! Yes, I'm a button lover. Yes, I just had an orgasm. And yes, I will waste $75 on this. More »

Apple Magic Mouse Hands On

The Apple's Magic Mouse doesn't have anything on its surface. It's an aluminum base topped off with a smooth multitouch panel. It felt weird to use, but leagues ahead of the Mighty Mouse. I may go back to mice. UPDATED More »

Razer Orochi Bluetooth Notebook Gaming Mouse Review

Razer's second wireless gaming mouse, Orochi, goes Bluetooth and pint-sized. It feels surprisingly great, actually, but the tracking sensor doesn't quite live up to its promise of portability. More »

This Orbita Mouse is basically like a Griffin PowerMate in mouse form. It turns, clicks and even right-clicks, but it takes a few minutes/hours of frustration to get used to. And, it's expensive—but it is unique. More »

Mighty Mouse Has One Less Gene, Lives 20% Longer

Sorry, Apple. Researchers have already created a mightier mouse: By deleting a single gene from a mouse's genetic makeup, they've enabled it to suffer fewer age related ailments and live 20% longer. On humans, that'd be about 16 bonus years. More »

Apple May Be Working On Touch-Based Mightier Mouse

Here's the latest Apple rumor: The Mighty Mouse may get mightier-or less suckier, because that nipple sucks a lot—with new looks and touch technology. I hope so, although I would be just as happy with an anti-filth mouse. More »
