A normal rolling mouse, save for that its ball is replaced by a magnetic ball-bearing.

The internal wheels are metal instead of that foamy/plastic stuff, so they'll still turn despite the smoothness of the ball bearing because the magnet will also stick to them.

Should be smoother.

Comes with a free metal mouse-pad in case you're afraid you'll lose your new accessory. Addon, as was forgotten earlier: this will also ensure rolling action on the surface.

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)

This will collect tiny ferrous particles, inside the mouse, since I'd use it to pick up paper clips, tacks, etc. Maybe I could use a co-worker's mouse for that.

how many tiny ferrous particles are there on the average desk? mines just full of dust, cat hair and cheese sandwich. +1 pseudy

// cheese sandwich //

I think modern-day processed cheese is comprised of 30% iron filings.

The cheese carries a terrible curse.

Then there's Swiss Army cheese with bullet holes.
