Saitek Photo Mouse

While Saitek is well-known for their beasty gaming-grade mice, the UK manufacturer seems to be into serious mouse customization, as well. Check out the Saitek Photo Mouse. It is said to be the first of its kind and combines a compact design with a mobile picture frame.

You only have to print out your favorite photograph, cut it to the right size using the template provided in the package, position it under the Photo mouse’s transparent cover and secure it by closing the cover. In order to provide maximum exposure for your photo, Saitek included an integral white spotlight, so when you plug the mouse into the USB port the pictures colour’s pop up as vivid as ever. Tired of that picture? Simply print out another, cut and insert it.

The mouse itself is not that impressive but it is nonetheless a decent pick. Packing an optical sensor, three standard buttons and a simple scroll wheel, the mouse is at least comfortable and highly durable. Hmmm, I wonder what they put in its case… titanium? How durable can it be?

Anyway, being a plug&play piece of equipment, Saitek recommends this product as an ideal gift/impulse purchase for your kids and family. It’s only £12.99.
