Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse from HP

 

Imagine being able to use your mouse via a Wi-Fi connection instead of a wire, USB dongle, or Bluetooth, well you will soon be able to. Utilizing Wi-Fi and Link-5 technology, HP plans to release a range of wireless mice and other devices that connect to a computer via their Wi-Fi connection. The hope is this will increase user experience and do away with wires completely or having to use a laptop’s touch pad.

The HP Wi-Fi Mobile Mouse has other benefits other than just being able to communicate with the computer, for example it has a battery life of nine-months. If anyone has used a wireless mouse in the past they will understand the benefit of this extended battery life.

The Wi-Fi gadget can also be used up to 30 feet away from the computer it connects to. As long as the mouse is within the Wi-Fi network range then the mouse will work as if its plugged in via a USB. I don’t think I will ever need this functionality; however some working environments and industries may find it useful.

The HP Wi-Fi mouse will come with 5 buttons that can be customized to provide functions such as copy, paste, highlight all, etc. along with 4 wheels to scroll up, down, left, and right.

Another device that HP are using their new Link-5 technology on are wireless keyboards. The release date for the HP Wi-Fi mobile mouse is sometime June and estimated price will be $49.95.

Hand Grenade Mouse

Well, I am quite an intensive computer user and go through more than my fair share of computer mouses, actually at the last count I am up to my fourth one for the year.  Based on my poor record of breaking those this little Hand Grenade Mouse caught my eye as being something that may be a little more robust.

Manufactured as a mod, this little mouse gadget must be the ultimate gamers mouse especially for those playing war of attrition online games. Not a lot is known about the mouse itself except it is actually crafted from an old grenade casing (dont worry though the pin is still in). Looking cool is all well and good but I can imagine the mouse not being the most comfortable of products to use. So weighing all that up would you rather have a mouse that looked good or felt good, what do you think?
