OK, fellow digi-addicts, here's a new mouse from Japan that acts like that mousy little colleague sitting across from you at the bar counting how many drinks you
ve had. Every time you click, the number gets higher on this mouse
s LCD display. For $26, you can show your boss just how hard you
ve been working, clicking away over that hot workstation all day, or keep track of just how many shots it took you to frag those pesky Strogg. Looks like the thing will count up to a million clicks before it turns over to zero again, but then who's counting?
Click Counting Mouse [Oh Gizmo]

Errr . . I'm no computer science engineer rocket scientist or nothin'. . . but couldn't this be done in software, without the hemoraging mouse display?
I think the original intellimouse software did something like this. It may have measured how far you moved your mouse.
I thought everyone counted their click everyday and kept track of em using MySQL??? Am I wrong?
There was a project called the Dolphin project or something that tracked keystrokes... and there were many WIndows 3..1 (!) and MacOS 6 (!) apps that were mouse odometers. Dunno about mouse clicks themselves though, but it ought to be easy to do in software. Still, are we gonna get "10,000 clicks to a better life" health books now? (It's said 10,000 steps daily will keep one in shape.)
