This is a very generous topic as there are lots of weird computer mice in the world. In their pursuit of making unique and attracting computer mice that would be out of the ordinary and this way attract people to buy them, computer mice producers have tried different designs, some of which really weird and unusual. Look for example at this scary ghost computer mouse!

It looks like the ghost in Scary Movie, except the colours are the other way round: the eyes and mouth are black while the rest is white. It is a corded mouse and the eyes of the ghost are actually the two left and right click buttons and the little scroll wheel is situated between the eyes. I can't say the design is very ergonomic, especially with the pointed end of the mouse that could be really annoying.

I think this gadget is the perfect gift for Halloween when ghosts and witches are very popular. Or it may be the perfect gift for your rebel friend who likes Gothic style and wears only dark clothes with bones printed on them and chains and all the stuff.  Or you may keep this weird computer mouse as a scary accessory, because I can't imagine using it for more than five minutes.

The first picture shows another weird computer mouse. This time some Russian kids turned out to have more imagination than it is necessary or even sane. They took a fake hand grenade, cut it in two and transformed it into a really weird computer mouse. They added all the necessary wires and even used the trigger as the left click mouse button.  It is perfectly functional and looks very much like a real hand grenade, but it's only a gadget, as you can see from the pictures above.

The colour is perfect, the shape, too. Just the underneath of this object shows you its real purpose and what it is used for. But if it rests comfortably on your desk and you don't know what it is, you can surely mistake it for a real grenade and get frightened to death.

That is why I think this is a good gift for your enemies or for people with a really good sense of humor. After all, you don't want your best friend to start screaming and call the bomb squad when he finds your gift under the Christmas tree.  Of course, these are only two of the many examples of weird computer mice existing on the market, but unfortunately I do not have enough time and space to show you more than that, but I think you already have an idea about this kind of computer mice.

Logitech MX600 cordless laser mouse is considered to be the improved wireless version of MX400.It keeps the traditional Logitech design, but this time it is a bit different, twisted somehow, so that the mouse could be more ergonomic and comfortable to use, even after long hours of using it. The size is perfect, fitting the palm of your hand in a comfortable way. The design is nice and ergonomic and you even have a thumb rest area and comfortable rubberized grips. The scroll wheel is also rubberized in order to avoid slipping.

It is amazing because of its simplicity. When you first look at it , you have the impression that it is minimalistic, but it actually has a lot of buttons that you can use by default or programme them to perform any functions you consider fit. Of course, there are the two traditional left and right click mouse buttons and the scroll wheel between them that also tilts to the sides for a horizontal scrolling.

Then there are the buttons on the left side of the mouse that are being operated by the thumb. The two buttons situated right on the thumb rest are usually used as back and forth buttons. But there are three additional buttons on the left edge of the mouse that, if you use them by default, will zoom in, zoom out and zoom 100%. However, if you do not use the zoom so much, that is if you are not interested in editing photos or something similar, you can always reprogramme them, for example to act like media buttons, performing the play/pause, volume up and volume down functions.

Logitech MX 600 cordless laser mouse is of course cordless. That is why it needs a receiver that connects to the USB or PS2 port of your computer. The wireless communication is made through 2.4 GHz radio frequency signals, the receiver getting the signals instantly due to the flawless responsiveness and state-of -the art laser technology. The laser sensor is very precise and works on all kinds of surfaces, even on glass, which is obviously superior to all the optical computer mice I have ever seen.

Being wireless means that this mouse works on batteries, two AA batteries to more exact. But they can last for a long time as the smooth moves of the mouse reduce friction and also the battery consumption. Because you don't want to be caught in the middle of some important work when the batteries go down, you have an optical warning, that is the green LED situated on top of the mouse blinks when the batteries are going down and you need to change them. This mouse is very useful and handy and also comfortable and offers a high quality for a good price. You can use it for all mousing activities and get the best results. If you are interested, you can get it from any online store for a price between $25-50, depending on the offer. For example you can order one here for $50.

They say that if you have a really good computer mouse you won't need a mouse pad any more, as the latest mice, optical and laser and glazer and whatever computer mice have been invented lately work on virtually on any kind of surface. Well, I disagree. First of all the mouse pad certainly has its advantages. It offers the right surface for mousing and the perfect texture for tracking.

Then it is very important to have a mouse pad, because a good quality one can help you a lot, especially if you use a wireless computer mouse. It has been proven that wireless mice have a reduced battery consumption if they use the proper mouse pad that reduces friction and, at the same time, offers enough resistance to prevent the mouse from slipping away.

If you are a HP fan and want a personalized mouse pad with a HP logo on it, you can purchase one here, for only $4.80. This way you can have a nice mouse pad with a logo on it that you can use for advertising purposes and also a very good quality mouse pad. The design, the texture and the colour of the HP mouse pad are perfect for being used by optical and laser computer mice. The metal finished design is meant for increasing precision and the textured surface on top of the HP mouse pad makes it perfect for mouse gliding and at the same time ensures and increased response.

The back of this mouse pad is made of rubber in order to prevent it from slipping on the surface of your desk when you are mousing during an intense gaming session for example. The mouse pad is flexible, but firm enough to stay flat on the desk, offering a safe and smooth surface for the mouse in order to allow its running without difficulties and bumps.

What's really great about this HP mouse pad is the fact that you can also use it as a screen protector when you are travelling with your fragile notebook with you. Simply place the mouse pad between the laptop lid and the keyboard and this way you will secure the screen, making sure it won't crack or break during transportation or when it hits something. It's also a very convenient place to store the mouse pad when travelling without the risk of losing it or maybe fold it and causing it to wrinkle and thus to lose its properties as a perfect mouse pad.

So, whether you are using it as a promotional object, a bonus for your customers who buy computer parts or only as a gift for you or your friends, this HP mouse pad proves to be a valuable asset that can be used with a desktop computer, but also a laptop, as a mouse support but also as protection for your laptop screen. It proves its qualities in every case. Besides, the ratio between quality offered and price is incredible.

I guess we all think of one thing or another as being "cool", but I guess it depends a lot on our tastes and our definition of cool. I consider a thing as being cool if it is unusual, but at the same time stylish and useful, something that was made with a purpose , not for the sake of being out of the ordinary and with no obvious utility. A cool computer mouse is, from my point of view a very out of the ordinary computer mouse, but still very functional and rare. It has to be a bit shocking, to leave me breathless when I see it for the first time.



When i first saw these two computer mice ( I did not know at first what they were, believe me) I could not help staring and wondering: what on Earth is that? The extraterrestrial "thing" in the first picture turned out to be Trioc 3D Pro, produced by a Swedish company called Trioc AB. It can be used as a computer mouse and also as a laptop accessory. This mouse is capable of 3D navigation, allowing you to pan, zoom and rotate. It looks like a giant rubber ball that got trapped inside an iron clam or something similar. Apparently this ball is the most important piece of the ensemble, as it must be rotated three ways in order to get the cursor move on the screen, zoom or whatever else you can do with it. It is in fact a 3D controller and a very 3D optimized mouse and it is used mainly for CAD software. You know this kind of applications need a lot of accuracy and precision and this mouse is there to offer them. Oh, need I mention that it was awarded at Product Design 2008? Well, then i must mention the price that comes with the performance: $580.



This gadget showed in the second picture could be considered anything but a computer mouse when you see it transformed. I took it for a toy, those transformer robots my boy likes so much. It does transform , but not in a car or a ball: it turns into a perfectly operable and cool computer mouse.



It is called a Trypticon and is in fact a competitive laser mouse. When you see it on the desk is a kind of bully, but otherwise normal computer mouse, having some oranges stripes on. But if you know what buttons to push and what to twist, you will transform it into a bizarre dinosaur with purple feet and hands and a long beak or mouth with sharp teeth.

This cool computer mouse is, as funny as it may seem, for adults use only, recommended only for those collectors that are over 16, as the younger ones may get hurt while transforming it or operating it. So now there are officially toys made only for men ( I don't know any women that would like to have it on their desk at home). It is an optical mouse with 800 dpi resolution and it can easily be connected to the USB port if you plug a cord in it and in the USB, too. It needs some additional software that is compatible with Windows 98 and later editions and also with Mac OS.

In case you may be interested, you can order one here for the cost of $69.99.

Logitech G9 laser gaming mouse strikes you at first sight with its unusual appearance that reminds you of a tank, especially if you look at it from the side. But if you are patient enough to get your hand on it and make a few clicks, you will be amazed and become immediately its number one fan. It certainly is a gaming mouse and you can see it from the first touch. But the first thing you must do after unpacking the mouse from the box is to choose the right grip for you. You know that different people hold the mouse in different ways: some prefer holding it with their whole hand and resting the palm on the end of it and some prefer just to operate it with their fingers, preferring a more gentle grip. Well, Logitech G9 laser gaming mouse has a surprise for all of you: you get the chance to choose a grip from the two available, according to your preference. One of them is wider and with a comfortable rear for those preferring a firm grip with the whole hand and the other is a bit more narrow and perfect for the second category of users.



The design is not particularly ergonomic, but still it is pretty comfortable to use. The mouse has the regular left and right click buttons, another button right below the left click button that actually has two clicking sides marked with + and - , which is used for adjusting the amazing resolution of 3200 dpi in five steps, decreasing or increasing it. This incredible sensitivity and accuracy result in an instant response of the cursor on the computer screen, which is perfect for computer gamers. Under it you can see the LED showing the chosen resolution step in case you are not sure of it. There are two more buttons on the left side of the mouse that can be operated only by your thumb. Usually they function as back and forth buttons, but you can use the mouse's software and drivers to program all the buttons as you wish.



I mentioned that Logitech G9 gaming mouse is a laser mouse , so the laser sensor helps by its precision and speed, making the mouse an unbeatable tool in computer games. The scroll wheel is also very important, as it can switch its function from line by line clicking to a hyper fast scrolling, where you can skip tens of pages with a single scroll touch. The Teflon feet help the mouse move smooth and fast on the surface of the mouse pad and on any kind of surface, as laser mice can work properly everywhere.



When it comes to games, this mouse can store up to five profiles in the on-board memory (for example macros, dpi setting , LED color - yes, it's true, you have the possibility to choose the color of the LEDs).

Another unique option to have is to choose if you want it to be a light or a heavy mouse, so you get a different weight cartridge according to your option.

The bottom line is that this is an amazing gaming mouse that sells for an average price of $60-90.
