A Pistol Mouse for Your Fragging Pleasure
ErgoSeating writes "In my search for an ergonomic mouse I stumbled upon something called the PistolMouse. This mouse is shaped like a pistol and uses a trigger as the left button but tracks with an optical sensor on the bottom, not the sight or barrel. In a twist of irony, the mouse is ergonomically shaped because the pistol grip alleviates stress on your carpal tunnel-ridden wrist. Its Linux compatible and looks like it could be just the thing to brighten up my desk. Here is a review of the item with some good pictures." Not sure how it's ironic -- the modern handgun reflects hundreds of years of user testing -- but it looks fun, and a hoot to travel with by air.
I keep waiting for the first-person-shooter fad to end and for people to insist on more interesting games.
Somehow I get the impression I'll be waiting for some time yet...

My Dad recently moved into a trailer park and the manager's trailer has this sign:
.45 pistol. If I ever meet the manager, I wouldn't be surprised if he looked like Clint Eastward.

The picture on the sign was a smoking Magnum
Anyway... Get a mousy gun, better post a sign to warn people off.
