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 »

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]

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 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 »

Sometimes We Unintentionally Endorse Bad Companies, Like MacPadd

When we reviewed the MacPadd, the anodized aluminum mousepad designed to match a MacBook Pro, we were highly complimentary of the product. And while we still stand by the product, we have to disown the company selling it. 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 Review

The Magic Mouse is undoubtedly the best mouse Apple's made in years. They've taken their knowledge in trackpad finger gestures and one-piece manufacturing and made this delicate, yet sturdy, bridge-shaped mouse. The question is how it compares to other mice. 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 »
