15 Cool Computer Mouse Innovations

Anyone who owns a personal computer must rely on a mouse of some kind, to navigate from place to place within the confines of the desktop screen. The majority of PCs include a mouse with purchase, but not ones like these.

Computer mouse designs have come along way since they were first commercially mass-produced for the retail market. The computer mouse went from being leashed on a cord to winning its freedom and becoming cordless. The technological and cosmetic advances didn't stop after the cord came off either.

The removal of the cord was the first hurdle to overcome, and next the focus seemed to shift to packing more functionally into a smaller streamline version of the computer device. After mouse functionally was improved upon, the designers and manufacturers began to focus on making the mouse trendy cool for youthful user.

This article only introduces you to a small fraction of a very large product line of computer mouse or mouse-related products currently available for sale on the market today. This is the first article in a mini-series of articles that will present new mouse and mouse-related products to you.

Please, be sure to leave any comments in the comment section provided at the bottom of this article. If you want me to investigate an unique mouse or mouse related product to consider for inclusion in the next article of this series, then please leave a complete website address where the mouse or mouse related product can be found and I will check it out.

Hands up, this is one cool wireless computer mouse.

    Some people just will not be satisfied unless the computer mouse actually looks like a real mouse, so now they have the opportunity to really own a mouse computer mouse of their very own. It is not recommend for anyone who gets squeamish at the mere sight of a real mouse, so in other words, this would not be a desirable gadget to give to your mother or sister as a gift or anything.
  9. Fishing Lure Mouse

    The fishing lure computer mouse would make a great gadget gift for any die hard fisherman that you know. It looks just like a deep-diving crank bait fishing lure without the sharp hooks. This fishing lure mouse is perfect for fishing for information on the Internet.

It is about the size of a credit card and is a fully functional device that works like any other mouse does. Just don't carry it in your wallet, because it could quiet possibly destroy it before you even have the chance to break it in.
  13. Inflatable Mouse

    This computer mouse offers something completely unique as it needs to be inflated before being used to interact with your desktop computer. I suppose that this PC mouse would make a nice addition to anyone who already has inflatable beds, couches, and other inflatable furniture scattered throughout their home. Honestly, I would be very disappointed if it should spring a leak and deflate, just when I'm honing in to the high score in Missile Command.
  14. Alien Fossil Mouse



    Image Source

    Now, I don't really know if aliens or UFOs are really, but I do know that the Alien Fossil computer mouse is. Actually, it looks very strange and probably feels just as strange as it looks, too.
  15. Shoei Helmet Mouse



    Image Source

    This computer mouse will surely satisfy the most curious motorcycle fetish, because it is after all a miniaturized reproduction of a Shoei Helmet. The only thing that would make this a better mouse design would be if it could actually be worn while working, because accidents do happen at work (like your co-workers walking by and smacking you across your head).
