Everybody's Got Something to Hide 'Cept For Me and My Mousey

elecom01.jpg
Here s a mouse with its own little secret compartment. The M-D7UR Stealth Wireless Mouse from Elecom Japan is aimed at road warriors, with its USB receiver conveniently stored in a trunk-like compartment that opens using a sliding mechanism on top. Even though the mouse doesn't look particularly ergonomic, at least it will be equally comfortable for left- and right-handed users. Powered by a single AAA battery that the company says will give you 88 hours of blissful mousage, the M-D7UR is no slouch when it comes to resolution, racking up a respectable but not revolutionary 800 dpi. Although the picture above makes these mice look small, they're a normal-sized 4.25 inches long by 2.32 inches wide by 1.46 inches tall. The $40 mouse will be available in blue, orange, red, silver, black and white, and ships in February.

  • If this were an Apple product, the flash drive inside the mouse would be called iCheese.

  • it would be better if it actually concealed something useful. like a knife.

  • Hmm. My Logitech V500 (1000dpi, 2.4GHz, 15ft+ range) has been so good I've replaced my desktop mice with them and I'm still maintaining good headshot stats in FPS games. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,C... And the design is pretty sleek compared to this butt-fugly offering. The USB receiver dongle stows in the expanding base, and is about the size of a 2x4x0.5 Lego brick. The Microsoft receiver is HUGE and in presentations, has let a few colleagues down during presentations. The solid-state touchpad-wheel takes a little getting used to and the lack of a middle-click could be a bummer for some.
