Hong Kong design store the Goods of Desire have updated Microsoft’s Arc mouse with a gorgeous oriental design. I’m really surprised how great these look: they don’t appear gaudy or tasteless at all, but instead resemble the sweetly pungent pottery of the tea house or opium den.

Yeah, they remind me of the pottery at an opium den, too.
how colonial. (both product and john)
Huh, I have that exact same bowl in my room.
However, I would not buy a Microsoft product to match it.
For Hong Kong these patterns are nice but not especially expensive, fairly common place in nicer places. But that’s G.O.D. for you – traditional, populist symbols combined with modern design, sold to you for as much as they can charge XD. I love them.
orient punk > steam punk ?
I can chase the dragon with this thing? Hmmm.
They should do proper tea mug design too.

My other mouse is a Ferrari
I’m with stupid>>>>
Much more catchy!
I’m happy with my current mouse
But it’d be a great ‘skin’ for other devices, too. Especially if it came in a white/blue variety, too.
