Microsoft: "Say Goodbye to Laser"

Microsoft has a teaser up on their hardware site with the tagline "Say Goodbye to Laser." Most likely a hint regarding the upcoming Sept. 9 Microsoft event, we can only assume that Microsoft has developed an alternative to the near-perfect laser mouse or maybe made a breakthrough in "optical" media. (Well, one of those choices, or they've developed an advanced rail gun/microwave/nuclear technology that the Navy and DARPA will pursue instead of high powered beams of light.)

UPDATE: As our clever commenters have discovered, it's probably this product.

Our mock-up after the jump.

Logitech MX 1100 Mouse Review (Verdict: Our Favorite Mouse Ever)

The Gadget: Logitech's MX 1100 cordless laser mouse, which is a combination of the MX1000 (which we've used for years) and the slightly newer MX Revolution. It's wireless, which is great for most everyone, and contoured to your hand for extra comfort. There's also an on-board DPI toggle for sensitivity and the ability to switch between regular scrolling and super speedy scrolling.

Gaming on the Death Star: Microsoft SideWinder X6 Keyboard With Switchable Keypad and X5 Mouse

I don't know who's designing Microsoft's gaming hardware after their brief hiatus from the market, but they're insane, in the best possible way—they've actually got some inspired, unique form factors, besides a huge Vader hard-on. The first SideWinder keyboard ever, the X6, has a macro/numberpad that'll dock on either side and takes the number of macros up to 90, plus it has gaming usuals like adjustable backlighting. The X5 mouse is a slightly less swank version of the previous SideWinder. More »

Logitech MX 1100 Mouse Makes Cordless Wave Desktop Reach Pro Level

Logitech is updating one of its most popular mouse and keyboard sets, the Wave Cordless Desktop with a slightly touched up Wave wireless keyboard—new paint and a longer, ridiculous three-year battery life—and a whole new mouse, the MX1100, which is a mutant hybrid of the oooold MX1000 and the more recent Revolution mice.

Logitech's V550 Nano Wireless Mouse Docks With Your Laptop's Top

Many laptop users prefer mice instead of trackpads. The promise of the laptop is untethered portability, and in that spirit Logitech has a new wireless mouse that helps keep your busy hands free, attaching to a dock mounted on your laptop when not in use so you can more easily take it from place to place. The mouse comes with a small dongle for your USB port, that means you don't have to wrap twelve inches of plastic around your wrist. Even if this doesn't solve all your problems it will solve the lack of pockets you must have. [Logitech]

Asus's Pulse-Sensing Vit W1 Wireless Laser Mouse Reports Your Heart Rate To Your PC

The Asus pulse mouse is just what it sounds like: A mouse that measures your pulse as you work at your computer. It sends the information via its wireless connection to software running on your PC that keeps track of your heart rate and displays it graphically. It's not meant for everyone, but anyone using Windows who's also a heart patient might find it useful, or even lifesaving. [Product Page, via Everything USB]

Mouse Uses "Alien Technology" to Relieve Stress and RSI

Whenever a gadget is focused on ergonomics, buckle up for some seriously weird looking design. A prime example of this phenomenon can be seen in this "Alien Mouse" concept from designer Mizanur Rehman. The idea was to create a mouse that would strictly adhere to the principles of ergonomics and provide maximum comfort by molding itself to the user's hand with a body constructed of soft gel and cellulose. It even features a pulsating central core that reverberates throughout the frame to help relieve stress.

Mouse RIP

Computer Mouse R.I.P. In Five Years, Experts Say

Is the end of the venerable computer mouse at hand? Analyst firm Gartner seems to think so, and says its case is bolstered by the meteoric rise of technologies found in, and made popular by, Nintendo's Wii controller and the Apple iPhone. Piling on is the slowly maturing field of facial recognition technology, which companies like Panasonic are now testing in the home electronics field. It's a combination that does not bode well for the mouse, said Gartner analyst Steven Prentice, which saw its beginnings at the hands of Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute in 1963. One caveat worth noting in all this peripheral doom-and-gloom is that the keyboard is here to stay. PC FPS fans can rejoice at their convenience. [PC Authority]

Sliding Mouse Speakerphone Is Cute, But Isn't a Skype Phone

This cute 800 DPI optical mouse with a built-in speaker slides out like a cellphone to reveal a keypad for VoIP calls. It has an LCD display for Caller ID and switches between mouse and phone functions automatically. It also looks much cooler than other combos we've seen. No word on price or availability.

Mouse-Calculator-Numeric Keypad Mashup is From Canon, Confusingly

Forget DSLRs: Canon has a new gizmo for us. The "industry's first" mouse with a calculator and numeric keypad is a 1000dpi optical USB mouse that flips open to a full keypad and 10-digit LCD screen. And yes, you read that correctly: the LS-100TKM is from Canon, not Brando. Strange... but if you're an accounting type who needs a calculator and keypad for your notebook, this might be the ticket. Available in Japan at first for around $32, in early July. [Impress]

Mouse Phone: Triband GSM Phone In Familiar Shape

Stick two spheres onto a larger one, and what do you have? An opportunity to take the Mickey, and create gizmos that "borrow" someone's trademark, that's what... and this Mousephone looks devoid of genuine Disney marks. That said, it's not hugely bigger than the genuine iRiver Mplayer, but crams in a tri-band GSM phone with 1.3-inch screen, MP3/MP4 playback, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth and keypad. One ear conceals a 1.3-megapixel camera, and it's even got passable battery life: around 3-4 hours talk, and 150-190 hours standby. The 2-inch phone is available for around $225. Don't show your kids or you know you'll be buying one. [Specialphones via Gizmodiva]

Mouse Jacket Grown, Euthanized In Museum Lab

In one of the odder stories we've spotted in some time, an installation called "Victimless Leather" was on display at NY's MoMA. The piece was actually a living jacket crafted from mouse embryonic stem cells, fed nutrients through tubes. But after five weeks, it grew too large for its containment flask and had to be killed.

Razer Death Adder Gaming Mouse for Mac (Wha? Mac Gamers?)

Sure, you might play a game or two on your cute little Mac, but that doesn't make you a gamer. (If you were, you'd have a PC.) If you're about to rear up and flame me, chill out, Razer has a new gaming mouse for just for you. The Death Adder is an 1800dpi righty with a 1ms response time. Say what you want about gaming on Macs, you can't possibly defend using the Mighty Mouse in fragfests. Death Adder drops May 20 for $60. [Razer]

iRiver Brings Mickey MP3 Player to the US; May Cause Cancer

The Mickey MP3 player that we've shown you when it was only available in Korea, and again when it was gold-plated, is finally making its way to the US today, with one slight caveat: "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm." That's right, the same Mickey Mouse you loved in childhood could be adding extra limbs on your own children. Then again, it's only $70, stores 1GB, and has 9 hours of playback time, so, pick your battles. [product page]
