Titanium ID Mouse Offers Smooth Scrolling
It has seemed of late that mouse design has sort of stalled out. As many people switch to laptops only, the humble mouse is often forgotten. The new ID Mouse from Intelligent Design might drive people back to the desktop. The mouse, which was shown off Dutch Design Week 2009, is a Bluetooth-enabled mouse finished in hand-formed grade 1 titanium and resin that serves as an elegant rest for the hand. The wireless mouse integrates a three-button neodymium scroll wheel for smooth scrolling. The mouse is compatible with Window XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X and runs on two AAA batteries. It sells for around $1,200.

First, that thing looks like a giant leap BACKWARDS in ergonomic design and I imagine it could become rather painful to use after a while.
Second, are they joking? $1200 for a mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel? Is that ALL it can do? For $1200, you can get an entire PC with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Or you can get a regular wireless mouse in an comfortable design for $20-$50 from a manufacturer people have actually heard of.
