Mouse and Label Printer In One

Convergence goes too far

There are many different iterations on the common computer mouse. One of the strangest combinations however is the new label printing mouse from Casio. Why???


There are dozens of examples of strange computer mice. I have seen mice wade in the shape of a realistic human hand (for the gross out factor I guess) and I have seen mice with actually useful additions such as retractable cords for the laptop toting traveler. The new USB Label Mouse Printer is one that seems more a question of what strange and almost useless gadget can we cram into a common everyday item.

If you are the type of person that likes to label everything in your office and prints tiny little half inch wide labels on a regular basis then perhaps this mating is of use to you, but the printer appears to be sub-par in the clarity department, and you can only wonder how much the tiny little rolls of label material will cost. Add to this the fact that the mouse itself is of the standard mechanical variety and you really have to stretch to see the allure of this new product. Come on Casio, what were you thinking?
