Optical Liquid Mouse
Are you bored of your boring mouse? Do you need something to keep you awake at work or school? If so then you need one of these Optical Liquid Mice. So whats so special about these mice?
Well the official page says that apart from having an animal bob up n down at you inside the mouse, "you do not need to install any software on your computer - just attach the USB and you are ready to use the mouse."
I say "......."
Each of these mice costs a laughable 1,480 yen.
On a related note, any folks here who prefer a touch pen or a roller over a mouse?
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Have to phase out old tech somehow?
I've tried a tablet before but it wasn't fun for general use.

lol, yet another weird invention from Japan. I always use a laptop, though, so I haven't had to worry about mice in about 5 years.

I have the one on the far right with the chick in it. My mother works at a convention center and picked it up last year as a freebie from one of the booths. If I was given the choice, I would use a trackball over a regular mouse any day. For drawing I would get a tablet.

Lol, these are cute. Next thing you know, they'll be putting live fish into them, like those old Disco shoes.

i think i would be easily amused by these then i might try to take out the bobble animal hahaha...i wonder how many dpi these mice have, i can't imagine them being that good seeing how much they cost.
now if they can fit small figures, instead of animals, into a mouse that would be interesting to see.

A mouse extends the daily usage life of my clicker-moving index finger by a lot. Plus, whenever I use a touch pen I keep getting the feeling that I'm adding scratches to the screen... :/

They seem kinda neat.. But I don't think I could give up my G5 for one. And for your question... I haven't used a rollerball for at least 12 years.

They should do a recall, and replace the animals with huge bobbing "eyes". Sell millions to the otaku community. Cha-Ching!
