There's just something wrong with a mouse with no buttons.. first one button now NONE!

Seems like it would be very odd to use.

Shenanigans I say.

Obviously it's based off of their touch screen technology but for me, it wouldn't work. My fingers are all up and down my mouse. I can't keep my hand still, on a mouse. I would constantly be clicking, and making the page scroll up and down.

Cant say I would ever want to use it.

There could be worse designs, http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/07/m...-action-video/

Although, I do burn out the clicker on my mice often.

Yikes those are some odd looking things.

really? I've been using the same mouse for about 7 years now, an old Logitech MX500 optical mouse.

It's a champ.

Logitech makes the best mice. MX500, G5, G7 all the same form factor and they last forever.

I bought the old mighty mouse when I got my Macbook. Its not a crap mouse, but way over-priced and it would sometimes left click when you were trying to right click.

Until this past May, when I bought my new computer, I used an old Dell ball mouse (since 2001). That mouse helped me get a bunch of kills in Call of Duty.
