If a mouse ceases to look like a mouse, is it still a mouse? Check out this new “finger mouse” by Sanwa.
This 6cm long gadget is held in place by a band around the index finger while the click and scroll functions on the side are designed for thumb control.
Though at first glance this new not-mouse looks likely to cause finger cramps, the product description aims to reassure would-be converts that this will not be the case and goes further to point out that you can even keep the mouse on your finger while exercising your hands over the keyboard.
Also, as the picture shows, the sensor mechanism is designed for use on any surface, removing the need for mouse-pads and making more room for desk clutter.
Costs ¥3480 ($30) from the Sanwa website.
