Just can’t keep myself from laughing but the picture you are seeing above is male and female mouse. They look like artifacts or some kind of a poor and silly joke but what I can tell you is this that mouse on the left hand is male why because it sans all the apparels and glitter that you can associate with the mouse on RHS. Another fact for the RHS mouse you will see some flowers also in the picture now tell me can it be male. Though a pretty insane and weird idea they come at a price of 12,600 yen which when converted in dollars come to $109. Via: Engadget

Manipulated gizmos, transformed hardwares and weird instances of creativity allows computer interaction take place in various forms, shapes, sizes and colors. This lucky grenade, initially meant to blow humans into pieces, has made a long journey off the battlefield to the PC desk where, at last, it’s being used for a better cause! This actually isn’t a complete grenade but a cross-section of its outer shell. The explosive chemical stuff has been removed to create a cavity that occupies regular mouse. The corners have been trimmed to gesture clicks. Well, if you’re the one who enjoys commando adventure this could be a right piece for you.

HandshoeMouse – A mouse that soothes your hands as you click!
Hippus’ HandshoeMouse looks like a smaller replica of a spacecar but has been designed to soothe the hands against strenous clicking for several hours. It has been designed in collaboration by two medical universities in Holland where anatomy and ergonomics experts really toiled for some time to come up with the design. Hippus’ HandshoeMouse let’s the hand completely rest upon its surface, unlike the others wherein at least one finger needs to be clinged up with each click. Experts claim, this makes a lots of difference at the end of several thousand clicks – when others start injuring the ligaments whereas this one keeps them intact! Hippus’ HandshoeMouse is available in black or white in three different sizes for different palms. The one in this pic is designed to occupy the right hand but there’s also a lefty version available. Price €120 ($166). Source: engadget
Newtonian Mice Wheel goes digital; rotates with keystrokes
Mice wheel was one of the petty inventions of the greatest physicians of all time, Sir Issac Newton. It harnessed the muscular energy of rats to rotate pulleys which then in turn triggered the mechanisms Newton required to carry out his experiments. In short, they were a very large pool of mechanical energy substantial to carry out the then gear mechanisms. With the advent of electricity this bright invention lost its importance and was replaced by electric pulleys and gears. USB Mice Wheel can be called as a tribute from the digital age to the 17th century physics genius. Once plugged into the computer, the wheel automatically rotates with each keystroke from the keyboard. The speed of the rotation of the wheel is proportional to the typing speed. Also, the rodent you see there is an artificial one and you need not feed it on your computer desk! Something sort of a ‘restless indicator’ that bosses in IT firms would crave for; yet, an intelligent choice! Source: Redferret
