This mouse was first introduced at the Taitronics in Bangkok in 2007. It combines a mouse and a number pad, just flip the outer case open for a number pad, or close it for a mouse. It is pretty useful for laptops.

This mouse is controlled by an optical sensor, which allows it to be used in mid-air.

This mouse operates exactly like a normal mouse, except it was made from an old Nintendo controller. In other words, it looks cool.

This mouse isn't for your hands; it's for your feet. You put your feet on them, press down to click, and move around to move your cursor. By the way, the feet mouse are $316, which most people would call a rip-off.

The gun mouse is an alternative to the average mouse. I think it just is a gun on a computer mouse since the site didn't state exactly how it worked. It would be cool if it worked like a Wii Remote though.

1. The Combimouse

   
   
   The Combimouse keyboard was created to try to combine the mouse and keyboard. The right keyboard is used for the mouse, with a two keys doubling as a left or right click. The spin wheel is located at the bottom of the left keyboard. This keyboard wasn't created to help you type faster, rather to universalize the keyboard and mouse.

3. The Wearable Keyboard
