These things are flying off the shelves!

From the Red Persian Group of Oriental MouseRugs (Asian Collection) comes a new addition to your addiction. Specifically made for your computer mouse, this miniature rug features .75 millimeter long fibers (over 7 million on each rug) that create a beautiful and intricate pattern that’s soft to the touch. These things aren’t stamped with ink, they’re made with real dyed yarn. The tiny fibers allow for precise tracking (whether your mouse is optical or ball), and will actually hold your mouse in place on uneven surfaces.

Dude, that rug really ties the room together.

* These may only be 7"x10", but they’re gateway RUGS! Before you know it they’ll by lying on the living room floor or under the table, you’ll be spending all your money on RUGS, maybe even matching coasters!

If people don’t already look at you strangely, they will when you pop a squat at Starbucks with a half eaten flash drive sticking off your laptop.  Hacked! is a 2GB storage drive meant to look like a torn USB cable.  Maybe it’s the kid in me, but I feel that flash drives should be unique and this one designed by Windell Oskay for Friend and Friends certainly fits the bill.

 
The Optimus Maximus computer keyboard from Art Lebedev Studio is not only the most optimal keyboard on the planet, it’s also a fearless 3rd Century Roman gladiator capable of defeating evil and delivering Rome back to the people!

The Maximus comes with a hefty price tag because anyone willing to drop over $500 is probably willing to drop $1600; and because each key is the equivalent of a tiny computer screen.  In addition to controlling key functions, you can actually control key images.  Switch between a Japanese, Greek, Russian, or any other keyboard with the click of a button; literally it only takes seconds.  If you’re a gamer you can customize and save a special layout for each game.  Work more efficiently with programs and software (like Photoshop).  The keys can even work together to show moving graphics!  And to think I was impressed with the simple things like Shift and knowing when the Caps or Number Locks were on.

Introducing the ultimate wireless gaming mouse. The worlds most advanced wireless tracking technology comes together with a 2.4GHz connection and a crazy 4000dpi (dots per inch) to form the SideWinder™ X8 Mouse from Microsoft.  The new BlueTrack™ Technology delivers the best frame rate (13,000 frames per second) and the fastest speed and acceleration on the market(120"/sec max speed with 75g max acc.).  With 30 hours of "active gaming" on a single charge, most gamers will only have to take 2 intermissions.  Actually, you won’t have to wait for your mouse to charge at all, because the X8 has a play-and-charge cable that allows you to charge while you play.

The KeyCarbon USB is an excellent way to exacerbate the trust issues between you and your spouse.  This miniature device is used to record typing from a USB keyboard.  Reminiscent of a normal thumb drive, this little adaptor can be hooked up in seconds to any PC or Macintosh computer.  All you have to do is unplug the USB keyboard from the computer and plug the KeyCarbon back into the computer with the keyboard cord attached; and no, the computer doesn’t need to be turned on.  What’s more, is that when you install the KeyCarbon with the computer off, the system tray will not display any new found hardware; perfect for you sneaky paranoid stalkers. 
*A little extra money will buy higher capacity, encryption, and a date/time stamp; all models come with an optional white case.

If you know someone that’s a dog lover, you’ve just stumbled upon the perfect gift. The Doggy Mouse by Pat Says Now is a computer mouse fashioned to look like the head of a cute little puppy. The ears act as the right and left clickers with a scroll wheel in the middle. Why should the mouse have exclusive rights to controlling your curser? Fight the rodent monopoly on graphical user interface pointing devices by diversifying onto other species; if not for yourself, do it for capitalism.

BACK IN BLACK!

The Optimus Tactus was the keyboard that Maximus Meridius used in the movie Gladiator.  Ok, maybe not, but it sounds like he should have.
I guess if you’re going to use a touch screen keyboard this would be it.  Oh, except for the fact that it’s only a concept at the moment.  According to the Art Lebedev Studio, here’s the plan: any part of the keyboard surface can be programmed to perform any function or display any image.  Optimus Tactus does not have physical keys, which means there are no restrictions on their shape or size.  As per the image above, there is a video mode as well as a typing mode (shown below). 
Initially this keyboard could prove costly to the consumer, considering it’s a full length touch-display.  The big question is, would you really use it?  There’s no question that it’s uber cool and could be extremely useful on specialized tasks, but I’m not sure I’d like typing on a smooth surface; my fingers need a little somethin-somethin to know their doing a good job. 
By the time this thing gets to market, Apple will probably have created a shape-morphing tactile multi-display video membrane touch screen, that walks the dog on it’s spare time; or they’ll at least have the patent for one.

Great for graphic artists, animators, architects, engineers, web designers, and people who love to draw. If you’re looking for a tablet, the Cyber Tablet M14 by Adesso is one of the best in its class.
Be prepared for a learning curve if you’ve never worked with a tablet before, but once you get the hang of it you’ll find that it’s as easy as riding a bike or folding a shirt.

Note: the Cyber Tablet does not double as a boomerang, frisbee, or any other flying object.  If fact, it will probably break if you throw it through the air.
