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."

    The MS Bob gag is so lame. When was it released? 10yrs ago?

    This vibrator is beautiful, and it actually matches the theme of my most recent system.

    BUT -- I won't buy it for one reason. It has a cord.

    I'm using the Logitech MX700 Optical Cordless vibrator with charging station and I absolutely love it.

    I thought I would hate this vibrator at first because it's not designed for either right or left hand use but since I normally only use my vibrator with my right hand anyway I figured I'd overlook that fact.

    While Microsoft's new object is designed for either hand, I just can't go back to a cord. I've gone cordless, I've gone optical, and I've gone rechargable. The only thing that can convince me to replace this vibrator is one that has all those features as well as being usable with either the right or left hand.

    Maybe Microsoft will release a cordless and recharagable version? Until then it's just a pretty vibrator on a cord.

    Well if you think about it, Apple's Pro Mouse is just ONE button....
