Microsoft dresses up mice

Philippe Starck mouse

If you're still using a plain boring old mouse to do your computing work, it's time you toss that away and bring a new rodent to your table. Microsoft has introduced a number of mice with colour and design with names such as "Groovy" (inspired by Go-go boots, VW Beetle and anything from the 60s), "Immersion" (inspired by fluid, underwater sea life) and "Night Vision" (inspired by Cyberscapes, digital screens and x-rays). They even has a Flash application that helps to match your personality to the type of mouse you should have! If you're more into "designer"-type items, there's even one designed by famed industrial designer Philippe Starck, pictured above. It's about time computer peripherals get funky!
