LED Message Mouse Looks Cool, Feels Cool, Yet Somehow not Cool

Do clowns do a lot of computing? As fun as POV message systems can be, one really has to wonder at the wisdom of putting one in a mouse. The LED Message mouse has a built in fan for blowing a gentle breeze into your palm while you are slaving aware over your computer. This has been done almost to death but is still a nice option if you have trouble with heat in your computer area. Granted it's a little played out, lacks pizazz. Captain Random to the rescue. Inexplicably, the designers opted to put a POV message system into the fan in the mouse. Messages are created by flashing lights while in motion on the blades of the fan. Short messages can be programmed into the fan so that the flashing lights shout your messages straight to the ceiling or anyone seated directly above you.

What truly takes the cake is the inclusion of a remote control, you know, so you can control the thing.. that's uhhhh... already in your hand. While you wrap your brain around that, there's also no mention of PC software which means that the 4 button remote may be the only way you can program it. This should make programming it almost completely maddening. So if you are in Japan with $21 to waste, stocking up for some sort of clown college kiosk computer, this mouse is for you. That's provided you can stomach the 30 minutes it will take you to type "Hello World" on this thing. Everyone else feel free to point, laugh and keep walking.
