Canon Calculator Mouse Doesn't Double as Camera

There won't be the day when the Japanese stops toying around with mice. Now high-profile companies like Canon which should mind their own camera business is now having fun with cutting a perfectly normal 2-button mouse open and adding a calculator inside. The calculator complete with rubberized numeric pad and a 10-digit screen can even send the results back to the computer if needed. After closing the flip, the mouse is back to itself again, with an optical sensor boasting 1000 dpi resolution.

Suffice to say, this is pretty pointless; that is unless the Japanese believes the only way to have a calculator readily available is by integrating it with something that will always be in the same place on a desktop. What's better than hiding it in a mouse? That's pretty smart Canon. We believe the credit also goes to Genius as well whose gamepad mouse could be an inspiration for this Canon Calculator Mouse.
