The Ladybug USB Mouse

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,

Ladybugs. Who doesn’t like them? They’re harmless, unique, downright pretty, and add a certain je ne sais quoi to any leaf or branch they’re crawling on. We celebrate the ladybug by introducing you to this lovely, metallic USB Ladybug Mouse, which is optical, and features a wheel that can function as a third button. Plus it’s small enough for kids to use, too. Even though our new insect friend doesn’t require a mouse pad, we’d still love to find one with a foliage motif, if only because it would look so cool in our humble workspace…

Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Impressions

Posted by Rob Stevens Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Peripherals, Product Reviews,

Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 Sweet Mother of Pearl…what is it with companies and these ridiculously long product names. Let me tell you, there’s a reason why “Flickr” is popular, and it’s probably because it’s easy to say. Now that I’ve gotten this out of the way, on to Microsoft’s new ergonomic desktop mouse.

Strangely enough, it wasn’t that long ago that Microsoft’s mice were considered to be the most ergonomic that you could get, but in reality, while they were more comfortable to hold, they were never truly ergonomic. I’ve been using computers from a young age, and as a result, I have a fair amount of RSI built up in my wrists, mostly the right wrist. I can’t use a non-ergonomic keyboard for long without experiencing pain, and that’s why although I’ve tested a great many keyboards in the past, I keep coming back to Microsoft’s Natural series of keyboards. Finally, they put a mouse through the same ergonomic design process as their keyboards and what came out was one of the goofiest looking mice ever made.

Laser Mouse EDIT: See our video featuring the IOGear Nano Shield Germ-Free technology.

It’s a clean freak’s dream. IOGears just released its ergonomic Laser Mouse, which is coated with a Titanium dioxide and Silver nano-particle compound.

Available in wireless (with a 6-foot range), plug-in, and travel models, you won’t have to worry about germs at work either. Backed by a 3-year limited warranty, Laser Mouse is available for $39.95 and uses two AAA batteries (not included.)

MacMice has announced their newest Danger Mouse BLK for preorder and will begin shipping the stylish unit on September 14th, but only in the United States. The USB mouse features a black matte finish to match with Apple’s black MacBook model. Compatible with both Mac OS X and Windows XP equipped systems, the mouse has two buttons and a nondescript scroll wheel. The mouse also uses a 1600dpi resolution laser mechanism for precision and features “MicroScroll™”, the company’s response to Apple’s MightyMouse scroll ball. The company claims that their “scrollwheel delivers the precision of an ultra-small scrolling device, but without the frustrations of a tiny trackball.” It retails for $29.99.
