UV light is required to activate TiO2 coatings. Even with the silver particle addition you still need natural sunlight (i.e. lower levels of UV light) for activation. So unless the mouse is going to be outdoors... you really can't beat regular handwashing as someone already pointed out in this thread.
My friend Brent who knows a lot more chemistry than I pointed out this inconsistency when I inquired about this very mouse a couple of days ago. He sent me this link:

Also, the implication is that this mouse is suitable for "public" environments (libraries, doctor's offices...) It sounds strange for a wireless mouse.

I was getting Verizon 1xRTT signal in my cabin, of course I was going to get on the net with my laptop!
You're almost there. While reading the article I could not help thinking about "Moonraker". Hmmm... complete with Steve B. as "Jaws"
