The Masochist's $1,200 Mouse

By Ethan Lee on October 26, 2009

Dutch firm, Intelligent Design, has released a mouse for not-so-intelligent folks who are willing to drop $1,200 on an input device.

What does it do? It looks cool and is made from low-grade titanium. The most important feature you ask? Owners can say they spend $1,200 on a mouse.

The expensive specs:

• It runs on 2 AAA batteries although for the price, it should run on everlasting fairy blood.
  
• The mouse connects via standard Bluetooth and hooray, the “dongle is provided.”
  
• It works for both lefties and non-lefties.
  

If you were to compare this Dutch-designed-doodad to Apple’s new Magic Mouse, which features a touch sensitive top, you would quickly realize that innovative technology take the cake when it comes to dropping extra money on fancy mice.

Sadly, for the "Titanium ID Mouse" the design isn’t all that striking. It’s looks like a piece of sheet metal rolled over a plastic mold. No, wait, that’s what it really is.
