I don’t think it’ll be starting any new trends, but the A4Tech Battery-Free Wireless Optical Mouse has a good gimmick: instead of using Bluetooth or the like to communicate with a base station, the mouse uses RFID to transmit its position information. Unfortunately, the near-field nature of RFID requires it to be used on a special mouse pad, pretty much negating any of the benefits of having a wireless mouse in the first place. Still, neat hack.

Update: Yeah, yeah, Wacom has something similar with their pen tablets. I know; I own one. The point was this one uses RFID, you nerds.
