The Grenade Mouse: uncomfortably similar in appearance to all your other desktop grenades

Oh, sure, you like the grenade mouse now: a bottom-of-the-electronics-tub Targus slapped into the ridged, turtle-like shell of some pin-plucked ordnance. But what happens when you mistake it for any one of the other live grenades rolling around your computer desk? You’ll be able to visualize the lingering shreds of your excitement upon the charred, cracked bone shards splaying from the smoking flesh ball of what was once your dominant hand.

    Hah! The joke’s on you! I use my non-dominant hand to mouse.

    All I can think of is how shitty things would be if somebody packed one of these in a carry-on.

    There, fixed it for ya.

    That’s such a tease- I was ready to buy one, only it seems to be a custom mod.

    Add this to the ‘take a number’ grenade paperweight and a few other items, you could have a whole grenade-themed desk.

    Ohhh. How disappointing, I thought it was a mouse grenade! Guess I’ll just have to stick with conventional traps.

    R. Lee Ermey is going to love this..

    What happens when you need one of the live hand grenades running around on your desk and you grab this instead? LED mice have a lousy lethality radius.

    Reminds of this joystick I had back in the 80′s: http://www.retrolution.dk/?p=46

    As I do not understand rusian, i can’t read what your link does say, but as the designer of it, I must say it’s a spanish invention, and altough it does look a bit awkward, it feels comfortable in your palm.
    Right and left switches are activated like an apple mouse, by pushing down the corners about 1mm down.
    The slider plastic under both buttons does indeed have some nylon plastic to make it useable and of course, it’s a wireless mouse powered by two AAA batteries.

    (first apearance was in “Arnies airsoft forums” and second apearance was in Metkumods, as for backtracking purposes ^^, under the name Inventor)
