OK, it's no tht e same mouse but you can get a mouse with built in fans from firebox http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=806&showAllImages=0 How out of date?Parax • Monday 26th November 2007 11:00 GMT
Been around for ages. http://www.extensiontech.net/reviews/km/logisys/xenixmouse/ Review from 2004 - thats ages! Cornering abilities...Ross Fleming • Monday 26th November 2007 13:13 GMT
Just think how this thing will corner at speed! The downforce it creates must be tremendous.. Almost rightJulian Cook • Monday 26th November 2007 14:19 GMT
I have to say that the gist of the story is right, if not a little bit late, it was quiet interesting the thought of a mouse that has a fan in to cool your hands, right up to the point when I looked down and saw that I already had one. I have to say that for office work they are fantastic, for games not so much. Ah well I guess I will have to keep reading to find my next new gadget Got this one over 1 yr agoRoberto Hortal • Monday 26th November 2007 14:30 GMT
My girlfriend -yes, some of your readers have them- got me this mouse over a year ago. I don't actually use the fan very often but the mouse is deceptively ergonomic and precise. It quickly became my main mouse, which it still is. Higly recommended! Ducted fanMike Moyle • Monday 26th November 2007 17:59 GMT
Is there a switch to reverse the fan? I don't have sweaty palms, but I like the idea of a hover-mouse. Doesn't work with Vista?Anonymous Coward • Tuesday 27th November 2007 11:15 GMT
Much as I hate the Hollywood-paranoia-encumbered bloatware, I have to leap to its defence on this one. I presume the only reason why you say it's not compatible with Vista is because it's an old product which doesn't say Vista on the box because Vista wasn't around at the time. A mouse is a mouse is a mouse - they all work with all OSs, within reason. Generic TitleAnonymous Coward • Tuesday 27th November 2007 12:31 GMT
Perhaps this archive digging was prompted by El Reg's new iFan icon? I like the Hover mouse idea, but perhaps the original idea was a hoover mouse to suck up all those crumbs that get stuck in the ball.. (I know its optical but they get under the teflon pads too!! and when this mouse was invented those many years ago balls were still common) Shame on el reg for being so out of date/touch on this one, I look forward to the next article on mice with frikken lazer beams.
