Canon X Mark I Mouse Packs Integrated Calculator

[f-14]

sweet, hope it's as big as it's made out to be. i'm sick and tired of computer mice made for children. not everybody is a micronian, there's alot of users who can palm a basketball. my hand is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide and most mice are now the size of mini donuts with the side thumb buttons on the top. i hope the buttons on this are reprogramable as i'd flip it around and use the number keys for left and right buttons instead as well as changing up all the other keys, and just disable the actual left and right click and scroll wheel.

yeah i know it is useful and all, but speaking for myself, whenever im by the computer, i either use the calculator on the desktop or wolframalpha.com it

Now if only they cross this with the War Mouse http://www.warmouse.com/, we can finally have a mouse completely covered in buttons. How useful would that be?!!

If only Canon gave me their money to design them a real mouse for gamers...

Yes, ME!! Hell, I'll even pay double.

Sorry just had to...

On topic, I hope you can customise those key, set macros and shortcuts, etc.

if it doubled as a light meter and remote for my canon camera, I'd be all over that like a fly on stink. Just as a mouse, there are substantially more elegant solutions, and a Num Pad isn't entirely necessary.

I guess the folks over at Canon are working overtime and underpaid if that was their best idea. Some other ideas that they might have had:
Mouse with mirror on the underside for people who like to stare at themselves every once in a while to help apply make-up, pop a pimple or make sure theres no food stuck between the teeth.
Mouse made of recycled silicone implants because that's the closest things some uber-nerds will get to "copping a feel".
Mouse with a tazer because you never know what will happen at a LAN party when someone gets p0wned.
Mouse with pulse and hydration sensor to set off an alarm when you are about to faint from overplaying your MMORPG.
Swiss Army Mouse, the name says it all.
Green Wireless Mouse that needs no batteries, just shake it rigorously- those with carpal tunnel need not apply.
Magic 8 ball mouse that will help indecisive people make life changing decisions.
And finally... a keyboard with a built in macro that automatically types the requisite "First Post!" or "Will it play Crysis?" at the appropriate times when posting.
