With all the miscellaneous junk we have floating around on our workspace, we could certainly use one of these.

The device has 18 multi-media hotkeys, a PS/2 connection and works with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. With a 1 year warranty, the Organiser is available for £24.99 (~$50.00.)

The USB Penguin Optical Mouse
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Some people are fanatical about Hello Kitty. For others, it’s Star Wars. But for this writer, it’s all about the mighty penguin, as evidenced the penguin MP3 player, USB drive, and shower radio she’s written about, and that fact that she actually owns an iPenguin. This week, it’s the too-cute-for-words USB optical mouse, which fits either hand, and even includes a PS/2 adapter! Choose from Pink, Green, Blue, and of course, Black. The downside? According to the website, the mouse is only compatible with Windows—but doesn’t state whether it’s compatible with Vista. Available for $14 USD.

Free Hands with Foot Mouse
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Peripherals, USB,
This makes our list for the most ingenious electronic rodent that we have seen in a while. The Foot Mouse (aka Slipper Mouse) is designed for those who either have the need for an alternative mouse, or for those who just want to keep both hands free while they work. Bili Inc. claims that their mouse is perfect for audio/video/movie editors, animators, graphic designers, architects, programmers, etc., but we suspect it may take a bit of time to adapt to the concept. Connectible by USB, the slipper and button pad are available at Bili for both Windows and Mac for $199.00, with a 15.5 x 11-inch mat thrown in as a freebie.

E3 2007: The Big Three: Who “Won” E3?
Posted by Edie Sellers Categories: Casual, Corporate News, E3, Editorial, Hardware, Microsoft, Nintendo, Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360,
It always seems a bit silly to declare a “winner” of E3. It’s just so juvenile. This is a complex industry that can’t be distilled down to the simple question of “who beat whom.”
But we just can’t help it, can we?
Comparing the three keynotes this year, however, really is a grab-bag of possible outcomes. All three offered something interesting, and picking a single “winner” this year more than ever depends how you define “winning.”
My rundown is after the break.

Click and Score with a Baseball or Football Mouse
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
Ok, so we all know someone (maybe you) who would drool at the sight of the accompany photo. Yes, they’re baseball and football mice, perfect for that stat-quoting, face paint-wearing sports fanatic in your life. At $9 USD they’re inexpensive enough, we’re just concerned about comfort, as neither appears to be ergonomically-friendly. But if updating your football fantasy league with a pigskin-shaped mouse is your version of nirvana, what’s a little discomfort? Not surprisingly, the baseball mouse is currently sold out, so football fans better hurry!

Leather Mouse and USB Hub Add Class to Your Workspace
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, PC / Laptop, Peripherals,
No matter how you use or wear it, leather is always a hallmark of quality and distinction, which is why we love this very sophisticated-looking mouse and USB hub, from Earth Trek. The mouse is the two-button style, with handy scroll wheel. The four-port USB hub looks exactly like the mouse, sans buttons and wheel. We wanted to suggest either one as a great Father’s Day gift, but strangely, pricing and availability could not be found on the Earth Trek website, which is based in Hong Kong. We still hope these elegant accessories make their way to US shores soon…
