ChocoMouse Surfaces in Japanese Markets

btarunr · Feb 9, 2012, 12:34 PM

A market scout at Tokyo's Akihabara electronics goods shopping district spotted this tasty-looking rodent for all you chocolate-lovers. Called the ChocoMouse, the device is shaped like a bar of chocolate (a chocolate ice-cream sandwich?), with a corner bitten off (which ends up making it ergonomic for right-handers, in a creepy way). Its catchy shape aside, the ChocoMouse is your average 3-button scroll mouse with an 800 dpi optical sensor. The mouse uses standard USB interface, its cord can be wrapped around its grooves and its connector locked into one of them. What could make for a very nerdy February 14 gift, is priced at 1,680 JPY (US $21.7).

I was gonna say its a perfect gift for those who are lactose intolerant and cant eat chocolate. but lactose free chocolate does exist so its a moot point.

Still...its the thought that counts!!

You've obviously never tried to catch a mouse before. Mice love chocolate and peanut butter

in fact,they may not like it, but from all sorts of cheese they prefer fresh cheese.
