They may tell you the mouse is not going to get any better — that its design and interface are a tried and tested product of many, many years, but that’s not the case at all. There’s still a lot of room for innovation in this area, and so, if you’re looking for a different type of control or have 
someone you want to surprise with a unique gadget gift, take a look at the WX500 mouse.
This one was even inspired by design cues from innovative industrial designer David Lewis, whom you may remember as a Bang & Olufsen aesthetics contributor; one of the people behind the NX90 multimedia laptop from ASUS.
This mouse looks a lot like a flyer saucer, doesn’t it? That’s the idea. To make people stop and take a gander, and in doing this it succeeds. But it’s not just the form, which may be an acquired taste.
It’s the function that’s important, too. The WX500 has a special four-way sensor in it, so it’s very precise and can be controlled with minimal effort. It’s also a fully-fledged multimedia remote control, which means functions like play, pause, rewind, forward and skip have been integrated and can be accessed instantly. 
That’s pretty neat for just a mouse.
Additionally, it has 1200dpi tracking, but that’s normative these days. What isn’t is the eye-catching science fiction design — not your run of the mill (2.4GHz) wireless mouse this one, for sure.
