A mouse that can spell boobs, oil, hello, hobo and whatever else we spelled out on our calculators in grade school.

Touchscreen numberpad & t9 with swipe please!

The picture doesn't look that big, unless that person's hand is huge. Interesting idea though. I myself quite often reach for a calculator and this would put it in my hand when I need it. Nice.

It's either going to be a good numpad and a shitty mouse or a good mouse and shitty numpad.

 

[darkchazz]

I'd rather just open windows calculator.

 

[jmchien]

actually a pretty good idea... if it only had a lower profile...

 

[Nightsilver]

Unless the keys are extremely sensitive, good luck typing on it without having to chase it around your desk.

 

[sliem]

useless. what's next, mouse with 12MP camera? so it can take pictures of your palm/finger?

 

[nevertell]

How 'bout a keyboard that makes you a sammich ?

No, they're gonna put an accelerometer, vibrator, & make it play polyphonic ringtones. ;-)

I think this would have been a great idea, circa 1985. If its not 3D who cares right.......

I think the point is more for business people who would like to have a number pad on their laptop. If you've ever worked in a job where you had to do extensive Excel work from a laptop you'll find that you miss having that number pad very quickly. Carrying around a portable number pad is a pain when you're traveling and being able to consolidate that and your mouse into one device would be a pretty nice feature.

 

[kingssman]

Mine would just have 58008 on it all day.

 

[Raidur]

Lol.

Anyone who actually uses a calculator isn't going to use the mouse when a much more accessable numpad is right there. Not to mention a larger stand-alone calculator is still going to be the best/fastest thing for those doing calculations by hand.

I'm sorry, but this 'invention' is just fail IMO.

A better idea would be putting a screen for a calculator on a keyboard above the numpad that can be activated on command...

 

[mlopinto2k1]

Maybe they can sandwich an analog clock into a mouse. Or how about donkey kong? Maybe they can put a universal remote control into it. Or.......

I push it, and it brings up my calculator in my OS. So crazy!

 

[belardo]

BIG? Looking at the photo, its easily smaller than my Logitch mice, higher end MX series.

 

[Graham_71]

Nice idea, the display could show the time when calculator not being used, SD card reader in 1 side & if it's for school kids a pencil sharpener in the other side may be useful too. But at $63, how much for a mouse + calculator separately.....

 

[Camikazi]

and this is why Canon should stick to what they know (camera, scanners, printers).

mouse with fingerprint reader for security maybe?

 

[eddieroolz]

I really question the usefulness of a mouse-calculator.

 

[dEAne]

I don't think it's a practical one, I don't know if others like it.
