Your mouse currently measures distance moved.
Add a timing device to the mouse.
d/t calculations galore. Add current speed to your task bar, with associated animal image for pictorial reference.
Add average speed to check if you're a little quicker today than normal.
Have office mousespeedo
competitions.

no, I have no interest whatsoever, and obviously screen resolution will have the greatest impact on the perceived speed.. you're weird. |
|
| |
screen resolution has nothing to do with it. d is derived from physical distance on mousemat or desk. Easy on the insults, bro. |
|

Mouse already measures speed, as this is used to make the Acceleration work in the MS mouse driver - the faster you move it the more it accelerates, so that a quick movement requires you to only move the mouse a short distance. Ergo, just need it to be represented grpahically or something, don't need any new timing device. |

How are you gonna train the mice to pose in speedos?
And in your office? |
|
| |
I'm disappointed; this is neither spandex for rodents nor furry swimsuits for fashion models. Glum. |
|
| |
how can you build up any speed when your mousemat is only 8" long? |
|
| |
I've seen script snippets to display mouse position and speed, so what you want is out there somewhere. |
|
| |
Nice idea but your speed differs very much depending on what you do. Gaming? or leaving it sit there while you're typing? |
|
| |
quite right [alico], but this is a olympic-esque vision where the fastest wins. It matters not what you were doing to set a new record or personal best, just that the new high speed was registered. |

I thought this would be a little swimuit to put on your mouse. Hot pink w/yellow polka dots. |
|
| |
I agree it should be a bathing suit for your mouse. |
|
| |
And it should measure mouse speed as a percentage of the speed of light. And show the "red-shift" of the cursor -- you know, highly useful astronomical data. |
