    I'm sure HP have been selling something very similar for a very long time....

    At least Dexxa and HP have similar products.

    What was stopping people from recharging the batteries before?

    How about a cordless mouse that charges up with movements, like a wristwatch?

      or better yet, a cordless mouse that doesn't have batteries but get's it's electrical charge from the induction coil in the mousepad (or under the mousepad).

      this would be really cool, yet deadly to floppies and Jaz disks.

    When you dream about cordless optical rechargable mice, you really need to go down to the pub and meet some girls!

    Why, does it vibrate as well?

    But I quess you mean the GyroMouse by Gyration

    As the title of the story says, it's a "MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse." From Logitech.

  9. I like mice too, but..... by z_gringo · · Score: 4, Funny

    From the article:

    "the fact that it was cordless and had a built-in optical sensor deeply attracted me. I immediately decided to buy it and that may have been the biggest mistake I had ever made. "

    I can relate. Yes, I too understand being deeply attracted, and later realizing it was a huge mistake. My biggest ever mistakes, didn't usually involve mice, but maybe I get out more..

    it took me a lot of practice to get used to the trackball. Believe it or not, learning how to use the TrackMan FX is actually harder than learning to drive a car.

    You actually have to leave the house to drive a car..

    It does sound cool though, and one nice detail which would have been nice to include in the article would have been the price.

  10. Is this just an advert? by tjensor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I mean, these are not new - we have had one sat on our receptionists desk for ages - months at least. I fail to see anything here that is
    a) news.
    b) stuff that matters.

    Bizzare.

    A clueless mouse?

    Is there any other kind?

    Anyway, reading the article, which starts out 'I guess you may call me a "mouse freak", and I suppose that I am one indeed' and continues through such moisty-gushy phrases as 'I still wasn't satisfied' 'My "mouse dream" has been finally fulfilled' and 'You can't imagine how good I feel right now' - it's hard NOT to draw the obvious conclusion. It looks like the gerbils now have competition, as a new breed of rodent fetishist comes out of the closet.

  12. Cordless Optical Rechargable GYRO mouse! by MartyJG · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you want to go one better, try this, a gyro mouse (Gyration UltraPro). You control the mouse in the air. Not only do you get rid of the cable, you get rid of the desk as well! I've used the non-optical version, and it's very intuitive - it automatically switches back to desk-mode when you put it down again. It's ideal for armchair or presentation use. It's just the price tag that may let it down a bit.

    I was perusing your entry when my mind perceived the magic phrase "MS Wireless Optical Blue". "Sweet Sparc above!" I intoned. "Someone's made a mouse with a blue diode!" So off I sprint to Microsoft's website to get all the juicy details, and I find that it is a blue coloured mouse... ... with a red diode.

    I feel so let down.
