Neoseeker : News : New stylish titanium mouse only $1200

New stylish titanium mouse only $1200

What a deal

Probably most people would consider any mouse over $50 as 'expensive.' But what about paying $1200 USD for a mouse?

While it might not be for everyone (or hardly anyone at all), the titanium mouse does look really slick. Made by the folks at Intelligent Design, the "ID Mouse" was shown off at a conference called Dutch Design Week 2009.

Featuring the only scroll wheel made out of neodymium, the ID Mouse is a wireless, Bluetooth-compatible mouse that uses a laser tracker, and is suitable for both right-handers and left-handers. You can even get the mouse in two different shades to match your unbelievably expensive computer: it comes in either white or black. 

The ID Mouse requires two AAA batteries. Hopefully your first set of batteries comes 'free' with this $1200 mouse. 

(By the way: if you like mice -- and who doesn't these days -- then watch out for our upcoming review of the more reasonably priced Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse, coming soon.)

    Anyone else got the vibe that Apple is going to be looking for a lawsuit for copyright infringement due to the similarities between their new "Magic Mouse" and this unbelievably expensive contraption?

    It's not totally inconceivable --- but I think it'll be okay just because of the one button versus two button thing.

    Looks as though it could be used as a weapon.

    Looks like some screwed up idea of future cars, a concept design...

    For $1200, I'd rather just get a new computer myself XD

    Why would you make a scroll wheel out of neodymium? This is just like a gold plated ipod, useless and expensive.

    Actually a woodgrain mouse would be fair sweet:

    kinda reminds me of those woodgrain xbox 360 faceplates:

    Either way this mouse seems like a colossal waste of money. I mean for $1.2k I want something that doesn't resemble Apple's latest abomination.

    Well, you guys might think it looks cool, but I think it looks like a piece of junk.

    The only way this would be useful is if you happened to be carrying it in your shirt pocket while a sniper tried to shoot you in that exact spot.
