Slashdot Mirror
Mice Designed by Famous Anime Artists
Roland writes "Japan Gadgets reports that eminent Japanese animators Masamune Shiro (Ghost in the Shell) and Hajime Katoki (Gundam) have decided to apply their creative design skills to a new line of limited edition optical mice. Due to be released in Japan in late November, each of the two mouse designs will be available in black, silver, and white and come with a special printed insert of an interview with the respective designer." Definitely thinking outside the box... not sure about the ergonomics, but points for aesthetic ;)
Ghost in the Shell
Slashdotted all to Hell
Better mice than Dell
i know how much a lot of you people like their anime, but a /.'ing in less than 6mins? thats determination.
Until someone hardwires a REAL mouse for user input.

But Masamune Shirow can draw some really nicely curved women, and sweet organic tech, if the link ever gets un-/.'d I'd like to see what he came up with.
He tried to kill me with a forklift!
Now I just know there's got to be some Digi Charat fans out there that would love to see a Gema-gema mouse... ^_^

Obviously you've never tried to handle a scared mouse, those little guys have some nasty sharp teeth..
He tried to kill me with a forklift!
These mice were limited, after all!
Here I was, hoping the Shirow model would be a little plastic version of Colonol Usanagi... You can guess where the left and right buttons were located...
Just because you can mod me down, doesn't mean you're right. Shoes for industry!
Just what I need. A mouse with a grotesquely pumpkin-shaped head with dinner plate eyes, and a tentacle stuffed in the mouse hole.

A simple rule: if it says collectible or limited edition on it, it's guaranteed to be overpriced, and usually crap.
...
Those who pay for slashdot premium should demand their money back on the basis that this was, very clearly, an advertisement.
Just because something is labelled 'premium' doesn't mean it's not crap either.
Some designs (and designers) are only fit for anime.
At least it's not a Hamtaro mouse...
Is it just me or does one of those look like the HB88? hmmm the Bonsai institute's coffers are running a bit low, copyright/patent infringment suit anyone?
~no matter where you go, there you are.
You mean a mouse pad?
Why not fork?
Yes, this whole "no caching" attitude strikes me as really stupid, given that they could even make money out of it.
Imagine, one hour before each story gets posted, the owner of the site receives a nice litle ultim^H^H^H^H^Hoffer e-mail sayig "Hi, your site is about to be slashdotted to hell and back, but for $OBSCENE_AMOUNT_OF_MONEY we will mirror your site, with your banners and all, alllowing you to reach hundreds of thousands of customers/users"
Screw subscriptions, the slashdot effect is their gold mine
