Output Mouse

An anonymous reader writes "Combining unusual items together can sometimes produce interesting results. Over at MetkuMods one can find a computer mouse embedded with a cell phone display to show all sorts of information. For some people one TFT on the desktop just isn't enough."

    Obviously, the mouse isn't for actual use.

    I think these mashups have just gone too far, but I like the idea of LCDs in keyboards and am really looking forward to the Optimus when it arrives.

    The first page of the article made me think it was just a bad photoshop job, but he did end up with a nice mouse.
    It ends up with a good color scheme at the end and would consider getting a normal one (sans screen) given half a chance.

    Y'know, when I hear the term "Output Mouse", I'm expecting the opposite of an input mouse; that is, the computer issues commands to move the mouse and it does so, taking your hand with it. And output clicks are handled by poking you in the fingers or thumb. Scroll wheel still needs work.

    This just sounds like an LCD display duct-taped onto a mouse by comparison.
