Decomouse – ugly, but shiny

Ergonomics? Shergonomics. Bling’s the thing when it comes to mice. Why control your PC with a comfortable, hand-friendly plastic mouse (spit, spit) when you can use one of these jewelled orbs instead? Sure they’re ugly, ostentatious and awkward to use, but look how very shiny they are. Especially when combined with a sparkly laptop like the one in the picture.

The spherical stainless-steel mouse comes in three styles. The “warudekomausu� for the man (personalised with a single letter of the alphabet), the “kawadekomausu� for the woman (lots of sparkly Swarovski crystals) and the “nasuka� for people who like spiders (it has one on the side).

All three mice have four buttons positioned uncomfortably and unnaturally on top which are used for scrolling and clicking. Controlling your cursor is achieved, apparently, by wobbling the mouse about.

You would of course expect to pay hundreds, or perhaps thousands for such a device, but actually they are much cheaper – and therefore even tackier – than they look. The male and spider versions cost ¥12,600 (£55.86) while the female version is slightly more at ¥15,600 (£69.14).

Buy one today (or not) from Decokichi. If you like the idea but not the crystals, slightly plainer versions of the mouse are available here.
