We've seen
Steampunk mice but this might be just plain Punk. This Compact Mouse from BOSS is modeled after the DS-1 distortion pedal used by many guitarists. While this may make for a fun novelty mouse, the cool factor doesn't quite make up for the discomfort. Just looking at this mouse makes my hand hurt. When are people going to realize that USB drives are the way to express yourselves, mice should be ergonomic and functional. Mice should fill the palm in a natural position. There's just no excuse for a square mouse, even to the greatest of guitar heroes.
About the only place this would be acceptable is the cash register at a guitar store. The hard edges and rickety buttons just won't cut it in a high use role. This unwieldy cramp machine is available from the BOSS website for just over $43. Only serious fans should inquire.
