Very recently, a mouse was spotted on Amazon (Germany) that doesn't seem to have a laser. Instead, it seems to have a very bright LED and a wide-view lens. A teaser ad on the Microsoft hardware site seems to confirm this, and slyly states that the release is 9.9.08; or the 9th of this month.

I personally do not think that this has a significant advantage over a laser mouse at the moment, as most people do not need to use a mouse on sand, or some other surface of that nature, though it does look pretty neat. ;D

Go ahead and state your own opinion!

As a sidenote, I think I am going to change my header image… =P
