Non-Apple Buttonless Mouse

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sucker-for-futuristic-toys dept.

MX pointed us to a story about a new buttonless mouse. It's visually quite unique, but they say it's not the ideal gaming device for you real-time-gaming folks. But hey, points for style. I've been using this optical cordless logitech (Blatant ThinkGeek linkage) on my desktop for awhile, although I'm not sure how well it'd work for gaming. When I play, I still use a MS Optical mouse. Whatever anyone thinks about their business practices and operating systems, they sure seem to always sell good mice.

    User: My mouse doesn't have any buttons? How do I click?
    Helpdesk: Lean left.
    User: What, the buttons are in the seat now?
    Helpdesk: No, lean the mouse left.
    User: But how do I move it around then?
    Helpdesk: Er...put it back.
    User: What if I have to click and drag?
    Helpdesk: Hang on, let me just open up a hardware service ticket.
