Rude Gameware’s Fierce Laser Gaming Mouse v2 has a long name and a lengthy spec sheet

When the crew at Rude Gameware aren’t flipping burgers, they’re building gaming gear — like this Fierce Laser Gaming Mouse V2 — and while we haven’t seen anything particularly groundbreaking, there’s some bang for the buck to be had. This rodent in particular brings the heat with a 5000dpi laser sensor with a 1ms response time and 1000Hz polling rate, on-board memory to save configurations and macros for each of its seven programmable buttons, adjustable weights and on-the-fly DPI, a braided cord and even a moderately comfortable-looking design. Best of all, it’ll manage to deliver all that for a nickel shy of next month. Oh, it’ll have some storied competitors at that price point, to be sure, but now you have more choices. Isn’t capitalism grand? PR after the break.

Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse seriously, finally, officially announced, doesn’t ship until December
After the overt teasing , leaking , and then more leaking , Microsoft’s finally ready to spit out the details on its Arc Touch Mouse , which at the end of the day is really just… a mouse. As we’ve seen, the peripheral has an incredibly unique design — the flat device arches its back to click into a mountain shape, which actually ends up powering the little rodent up. So, where does the whole …

The Only Mouse That Needs Regular Tune Ups [Mouses]

When Toyota gave the iQ, their tiny new four-seater, the tagline “nimble as a mouse,” they were probably referring to the cheese-loving rodent. But just to cover all the bases, they turned one into a giant, functioning computer mouse, too. More »

And for their next trick, NASA will levitate a mouse

othertech — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:30:57 +0000

Microgravity researchers at NASA have used a superconducting magnet that generated a field powerful enough to levitate the water inside a mouse, effectively simulating weightlessness for the rodent, right here on earth! The first floating mouse didn’t seem very happy about the ordeal, so subsequent tests involved sedating the test mice. As should be expected, the doped up mice had a much better time floating around.

The research is intended to study the effects of weightlessness on bone density, and to find ways to counter the negative effects of prolonged low-gravity on the human body. No word yet on when human beings will be floated around as part of this research.

Put your rodent on rails with the Hamtrack

othertech — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 21:20:23 +0000

First, let us just acknowledge that “Hamtrack” is the best portmanteau of the year so far. Now, on to the products. I think you can see from the picture exactly how this utterly-genius pet toy works. Like a hamster ball but with wheels. I’m afraid the Critter Cruiser is unidirectional and thus a little limited, but the Hamtrack could be, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating here, the greatest hamster accessory of all time.

Putting down tracks for the hamster-car to go down, are you kidding me? That’s so awesome I feel like going out and buying a hamster right now just to see it fly around my apartment in this thing. I’m sure people have DIYed habitrail-esque things like this before, but they didn’t have a pink sports car to go with it. Can you imagine that thing flying around under your desk all day? Madness!

Insect Repeller helps you identify insects

othertech — Tue, 26 May 2009 20:24:43 +0000

I love nature very much and I don’t refuse a chance to spend my time in open air, in places where trees are green and birds twitter all day long. But I hate insects. Not because I have something against these little creatures, but because I’m afraid of them. I hate them because they’re not so innofenssive as many of us would think.

And summer seems to be the most favourable season for the pesky insects people hate (yeah, people, not only me), when they gather all together as if it were a special event. The worst thing is that they have a thing with the skin, and they attack it, they irritate it, turning into the worst nightmare ever.

So, if you’d like to identify insects before they eat you alive, here you have the Insect Repeller to give you a helping hand. The device is designed to destroy every bug, spider or rodent that dares to invade your space, at the flick of a switch.

“Insect Repeller is a smal handheld environmentally-friendly gadget that plugs into any UK mains socket and emits an advanced high power variable ultrasonic wave and an electromagnetic wave to ward off unwanted pests and protect you and your home”.

An important advantage is that the device is inaudible to humans and does no harm to whatever pet you might have, such as a dog or a cat. In addition, it used a very small amount of power and it is able to protect approximately 250 square meters.

The Insects Repeller costs £12.95.
