This is the Titanium ID Mouse from Intelligent Design. It’s a Bluetooth mouse made from grade 1 hand-formed titanium with laser tracking precision. The mouse is pretty much all for looks as it serves purely as a basic functioning mouse with only 3-buttons (most mice these days come with more than 3 buttons). It runs on 2 AAA batteries and is compatible with PC and Mac systems.
Oh, and maybe I’m not reading this right or something, but can somebody else please confirm that the website lists this mouse as selling for 800 Euros??!! That’s about $1200 USD. Yeah. Well, given that price point, I’m just going to go ahead and assume that you’re never going to buy one, so enjoy the photos below.
I think this Belkin Bluetooth Comfort mouse is a good contender to the Logitech M555b Bluetooth mouse I posted earlier. Unfortunately, Bluetooth technology puts everything at insane prices and this mouse will end up costing me $50 if I buy it.
Also, how come all of these press photos for computer mice always show a person using the item with their left hand? The majority of mice users are right-handed so having a left-handed person model the object always seemed weird to me.
This BBC video shows a snow diving fox carefully listening to its prey under 6 feet of snow and then suddenly pouncing on it. Keep in mind that the snow fox does not actually see the mouse underneath the snow. It knows where it is simply by instinct and listening to its movements.
Gregory Pike in San Francisco has been independently studying animal psychology for several years and he’s managed to train a dog, a cat, and a mouse to be friendly with each other. It’s not a hard thing to do I guess since I have cats and dogs in the same household and they generally get along ok. But the amazing part of his psychology experiment is that he has somehow trained them to travel with him while stacked on top of each other!
That’s right, Gregory Pike travels around San Francisco showing off his rat on the back of a cat on the back of a dog.
I just received my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 in the mail today and I’m already very satisfied with it in every respect. It is compact, tiny, and comfortable — a combination of descriptions that I’m sure very few mice can lay claim to. This being a portable laptop mouse, it comes with a handy black neoprene carrying case so that you can throw the mouse into your bag without having to worry about it getting scratched up.
The mouse takes 2 AAA batteries, and with a battery indicator light at the top, you’ll know when it’s time to replace the batteries before you run out of juice. On the bottom of the device there’s an on and off switch so that you can save batteries when you’re on the go or not using the mouse. That way, it doesn’t sit idly and waste its life away. The scroll wheel is “rubbery” and feels good with each rotation (good feedback).
Best of all, the laser technology fitted into this mouse will keep you as accurate as possible when it comes to moving your cursor around pixel by pixel.
The Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 (whew! That’s a long and awkward name, right?) is both PC and Mac compatible and it’ll work nicely with any computer that has Bluetooth connectivity. In short, I recommend this item if you’re in the market for a convenient and portable mouse to go with your laptop computer.
NOTE: For whatever reason, the back-button on the mouse doesn’t work well out of the box with Mac computers, but I managed to solve this problem easily by installing SteerMouse, a handy little app that enhances mouse support on the Mac.
