Belkin Mouse Works Submerged in Chili

Belkin's Washable Mouse was tested by Gearlog, who did more than just get it a bit scuzzy. Instead, they submerged it in a day's worth of food—while still using it. The gauntlet: oatmeal, chili, pudding, and Cheetos. Because the scroll wheel is touch sensitive and the sensor on the bottom is optical, the entire unit is sealed.

These should be the product images on the box.

RIGHT ON! I teach software in hospital patient care areas. Think of the GERMS!! Mice are dirty filthy creatures. So are Mouse Pads. A sheet of paper works great as a pad for most mice, and is disposable.

the gauntlet is down. This can only escalate to a contest for the most extreme and most disgusting bragging rights. Dibs on week old roadkill.

This'll go great with that pen I bought that can write under whipped cream!
