Is the incessant clicking sound of your mouse getting to you? Do you think
silence is golden? Look no further,
Japan's
Thanko has the solution for computer users who tire of the 'vocalizations'
coming from their mouse: The Thanko Silent Mouse. Both the wheel and the mouse
buttons have been silenced and when compared to a regular mouse is 5 times more
silent. The Silent Mouse uses a USB interface and is compatible with Microsoft
Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS X. The Silent Mouse uses a 800 dpi optical sensor and
measures 60x105x35mm with a weight of 90 grams.
The price of silence: about
¥2,500 ($21). We suppose if you're really sensitive to ambient noise, it could
come in handy.
