Microsoft Unveils A Designer Mouse

Posted by timothy on from the roundy-and-curvy dept.

jeckil writes "Today Microsoft unveiled the new Starck mouse; a new shiny mouse designed to take the 'cool' from other mice such as Logitech or Apple. Microsoft is calling it the 'first museum-quality mouse.' Looks shiny enough to be on a museum display along with other succesful Microsoft products."

    Looks distubingly like a vibrator to me. But maybe that's just me. Back to my one handed surfing...

    Wow! That slit down the middle makes me think it's just a vagina. I can't get a better view, but I also imagine the scroll button placement helps to further that logic.

    Only the maker of antequated operating systems would make a "museum quality" mouse.

    Isn't he the guy famous for making stuff which is considered artistic and pretty (like go to and art gallery and admire) but functionally useless? Is it supposed to be a foreshadowing of Longhorn?

    I don't think I've ever seen a really pretty mouse, though.

    I've always thought that Minnie Mouse was kind of hot.

    Oh shit, this isn't the furry forum! *NO CARRIER*

    The first time I held my MX500 my first comment was "It feels like a well formed breast I'm touching here, filling my hand in all the right places

    CAN'T... LEAVE.. THIS.. ONE.. ALONE... ARRRrRRGGgghh!

    Dear Penthouse,

    I never thought it could happen to me! I was in Fry's the other day trying out at an MX500. I was considering purchasing the mouse, when a very attractive sales girl came my way. Attractive is an understatement. She was simply gorgeous, with long flowing blonde hair, a tight ass, and full large breasts.

    "How do you like it?", she asked.

    My first comment was, "It feels like a well formed breast I'm touching here, filling my hand in all the right places." I was taken aback by my faux pas of saying such a thing in front of such a fetching member of the opposite sex, but she just smiled.

    "Do you want a comparison?", she said knowingly. I couldn't help noticing her shaply bosoms beneath her tight shirt. I imagined her moaning as I gently massaged her nipples to their full one and a half inch lengths.

    She motioned me to follow her. I couldn't help staring at her backside. She had on tight jeans reavealing a perfect ass. I could not get the vision out of my head of thrusting my purple-headed warrior deep within her quivering mound of love-pudding. I started to feel a tightness in my loins.

    "This is a new mouse by Microsoft", she said stopping at the next display, "It's designed by S+arck."

    My excitement died. That mouse is ugly.

    Bah. Cordless mice are too laggy and they don't have good sample rates. Not like a standard USB mouse.

    My favourite problem with a mouse so far happened last week.
    "My mouse isn't working, it keeps jumping in the wrong direction" she said.
    The culprit? Optical mouse with promotional hologram mousepad.

    The red one looks kind of vaginal to me

    You realize you'll have thousands of /.'ers clicking now, to finally see what a vagina looks like.
