this mouse has all the usual functions but at those times when the user needs a muscle break, it will respond to such simple commands as scroll up, scroll down, hit print, open new document, minimise, save etc.
squeaking function optional.

Voice control software is quite commonplace. They use a microphone, rather than the mouse, to 'hear' your voice. |
|

Mouse pads are available that have a gel-filled rest pad on them. I have one, and I love it. |
|
|
You just want to do that scene in Star Trek where Scotty picks up the mouse and talks into it. |

Not in the biblical sense, I hope ....... |

DrCurry: <sad trekkie bit> It's Scotty who picks up the mouse, not Bones. The scene is in "The Voyage Home". </sad trekkie bit> |

NB Take not the name of the sacred Trek in vain, lest thou be smitten by thunderbolts. Or something. Maybe. |

this would be far more half-baked if it were a real mouse, trained to respond to commands and push buttons for you. and maybe go grab you a beer. sortof a seeing-eye mouse for the computer impaired. |

Does this mouse bristle a bit when someone
over-enunciates condescendingly?
