Wireless Mouse with no Batteries

GI Joe writes "Hardcoreware.net have posted a review of a mouse with no batteries; it receives its charge through induction from the USB powered mousepad. Of course this means you must use the mouse on this mousepad, taking away some of the big advantages of a wireless mouse. However, they said that the mouse is otherwise very accurate, and has no lag at all since it uses RFID."

    beam microwaves directly to the mouse? I'm sure the average Half-Life 2 player wouldn't even notice.

  2. WOW MAN WHAT A FUCKIN RAD IDEA by Sexual+Asspussy · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Jesus Christ, the Lord didn't send your brain into battle with a full clip, that's for fuckin sure. The system you describe sucks and would not work. The ball would need cleaning and the dynamo would gunk up, the mouse would go dead all the time, and it would be more expensive to manufacture than any of the currently-existing optical or mechanical, wired or wireless mice available today.

    Your idea fucking sucks, and if you weren't such a worthless ball-emptier I'd be surprised that you posted it. Dump your Zima on your motherboard so you can't post here anymore, then go back to pumping dick. There's a very lonely man on 53rd and 3rd just waiting for a sweet piece of pale, unwashed ass like you.

    ...for shutting these fucking blowhard, wannabe-know-it-all fuckheads down. This article seems to be a new "solution" that looked for a "non-problem" and "fixed" it.

    Happens a lot around here really, no biggie. The blowhards are ravenous and rabid (just bring up gimp's atrocious failings). It's like when something hits f/oss, it's like mana from heaven and the invention of the wheel when it's been done .... and done *well* for years and years sometimes free and sometimes not - the world ain't a hippie commune.
