The OpenOffice Mouse (or OOMouse) is definitely one of the craziest that I have ever seen. It has 18 programmable mouse buttons, a scroll wheel, and three different button modes that include key, keypress and macro. It also has a joystick (you can see it as a lump on the left side of the OOMouse) which is capable of 16 macros. All of this adds up to a mouse that can launch 52 commands with a touch of a button, and could probably store 63 different macros for all the gamers who need their gaming mice to play MMOs.

You should be able to purchase the OOMouse at the company website for about $74.99 when it comes available. It is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Newton Peripherals has recently announced a new ultrathin Bluetooth mouth for marketed specifically for netbooks. If you’ve heard of MoGo before, you’ll most likely know that their previous offerings included a mouse that nestled in a notebook’s PCMCIA slot but considering netbooks don’t feature such a slot, they had to go a differnt route.

As you can see from the above picture, the MoGo netbook mouse will feature a docking station that sticks to the cover of your netbook where you can then charge it from via included charging cable.

Sure, it seems like a practical solution to carrying around a normal Bluetooth mouse but its $100 price tag makes it a bit less palatable.

The Cideko Wireless Media Keyboard got its big debut at Computex and while it may not be groundbreaking, it does add another option to the world of wireless keyboard accessories. So, what makes this keyboard different? It boasts a mouse function that functions in mid-air. A gimmick or does it provide real a true function? Jury is still out on this one.

The top of the keyboard has two buttons for mouse clicking functions and there’s also the full QWERTY keyboard below. A release date or pricing information have not been announced just yet

Now these mice probably won’t appeal to the older business crowd (imagine whipping one of these out at a meeting) but instead maybe to the more adventurous demographic (read: young).

Anyways, what you see above are Logitech’s new V220 notebook mice which are essentially the same thing as your run of the mill RF USB dongle touting Logitech notebook mice with fancy paintjobs.

You’ll be able to pick up one of these for around $30 from your favorite electronics retailer in any color you like as they are available today.

It’s not everyday that we show you keyboards around here, but every once in a while we see a model weird enough that we feel we have to share with you. Take this Combimouse keyboard here. It looks like nothing we have seen before. It’s a full QWERTY keyboard for your PC but it’s also a mouse. The keyboard is split right down the middle and the right side works as a mouse too… I presume. Whenever you grip it the keyboard will know you want to use the mouse and the keys will become inactive. That’s all swell for work-related activities, but how would gamers use this combo?

Microsoft recently unveiled the latest addition to the SideWinder line, the new SideWinder X3 Mouse. Designed for convenient use by both left- and right-handed folks, it comes in a smaller shape as well, along with plenty of control features for gaming.

One of the coolest features, like the other SideWinder mice, is the ability to switch mouse dpi on-the-fly. With three buttons, you can customize the desired dpi setting for each button and switch among them without having to access the Control Panel each time. That’s an increase in productivity right there, especially since you can continue with the game while setting the desired sensitivity at the click of a button. To set the sensitivity, open the Microsoft IntelliPoint software (bundled with the device), and under the “Sensitivity” tab, choose the dpi settings that you prefer.

We’ve reported quite a few unusual mouses, like the OTA e-blue Pequeno that is really small, or the Skype Mouse Phone that works as a 2-in-1, and this USB Mouse Scale is a good addition to that list. As the name suggests, it can either be used as a normal optical mouse, or as a small pocket scale that has a limit of 500 grams. The working method couldn’t be more simple, just plug-in the USB cord and it starts working.

Thankfully, the battery that the scale uses is recharged via USB, and the mouse only costs $60.

- Back-lit LCD Display
- Two key operation
- Compatible Scroll Wheel
- Removable cover can be used as a tray

Here’s an interesting concept. The keyboard in the picture isn’t just a simple keyboard, it’s also a mouse. The Glide Keyboard from Weston Boege will help you type and click in the same time.

Slide the keyboard around your desk, I know, that can be really annoying, and use the integrated mouse controls to click your way around work. I’d like to see a price and an availability date stuck on the back of this keyboard. It would be sure fun to use it!

If you have money to burn and are looking for a gaming mouse, then look no further! SteelSeries’ World of Warcraft MMO mouse has just been announced for fans of the popular MMO. It has fifteen programmable buttons (holy shit!) and has flashing lights to confuse the hell out of you.

Dropping in next month for a cool $90, the mouse will let users create macros or use predefined ones for their treks through Blizzard’s soul-eater. It also has 800-3000 CPI and a 3.6mm lift distance. Oh, did I mention you get to have 16 million illumination choices through those disco lights? No? Now you know.

Dell has designed a new mouse and a new keyboard for your future desktop systems. As you can see in the picture above, the mouse doesn’t look special. What’s special about it is the fact that it will sport the LaserStream Technology developed by Agilent Technologies and currently used in various Logitech G-series mice. That means the boring Dell mouse will have a second-generation laser sensor which will run at around 2000 DPI. (more…)
