The USB Input Device is a gray area as just about everything could fall here, so I try and keep it to those “true” input devices like keyboards, mice, etc.

The Fuggly Waterproof Mouse

Written by Richard Blanchard on January 11th, 2008. Posted in USB Input Device

Not the best looking USB mouse, but it does hold one unique characteristic…it’s waterproof.  Yep, you can now browse the web, underwater, safe and secure.  Putting some traditional yellow to signify the waterproof feature would help the look, but not by much.

The redeeming quality for this USB gadget is the application in hospitals, weathered / outdoor applications or possibly chemical laboratories as the mouse is chemical resistant as well.

The USB waterproof mouse is sealed  with high quality silicone making it possible to clean, disinfect and even wash under water without harm or damage.

So if you happen to be a pool bartender, restaurant owner of just a slob, you can pick up the waterproof mouse for $37.

Written by Richard Blanchard on November 29th, 2007. Posted in USB Hub, USB Input Device

Over the course of 2007 we have seen our share of jewelry USB drives, now we see vanity making it’s way into the market place. The new Lindy USB Mirror 57-in-1 Card reader and Mirror USB hub are now available for high tech connection and personal reflection.

Stephen Fawcett, Senior Product Manager states:

When we asked our development team to come up with a compact device we didn’t really expect them to literally deliver a ‘compact’. Fortunately, they didn’t include the powder in the spec. But it’s very handy for checking you haven’t left a bit of marmite on your chin or seeing what colleagues are up to behind your back.”

Unfortunately the Lindy website isn’t up to date with this press release, but GetUSB did find the card reader will go for 22.99 and the hub for 14.99 USD.

Palmar Hyperhidrosis Dream Machine

Written by Richard Blanchard on November 29th, 2007. Posted in Brando USB, USB Input Device, USB News

We started out with a USB a$$ blower a while back, now we have the USB optiwind mouse, the ideal Palmar Hyperhidrosis USB gadget. With over 28 CFM airflow those sweaty palms will never be wet again.

The USB optiwind mouse has a little more RPM than the USB seat blower we reported a while back (1500 rpm).

For the tech palmer hyperhidrosis type consider the 800 dpi, 25dBA noise level spec and MTFG of 20,000 POH.

Give Your Mouse The Finger

Written by Richard Blanchard on November 14th, 2007. Posted in USB Fever, USB Input Device, USB News

I believe the optical finger mouse is a key component to a successful multi-tasker as it allows your fingers never to leave the keyboard so you can crank through those blog posts – o maybe a mobile environment where a flat surface isn’t available.

Aten introduces a new hybrid USB KVM switch made mostely of cables. The 2 port flexible design easily expands the connection of monitor, PS/2 keyboard and mouse.

What Aten did with their new KVM switch design is insert a remote port for selecting between computers from an extender switch (as pictured).

USB Keyboard With Built In Touch Screen for Handwriting Recognition

Written by Richard Blanchard on September 18th, 2007. Posted in USB Input Device, USB News

Not meant for the left-handed this USB keyboard includes a built-in touch screen and stylus for handwriting recognition.

Not a bad idea for some applications like log-in procedures or signature requirements before payment.
