In a refreshing reversal of pompously named colors, we bring you Sigma’s Rotino laser mouse in, uh, “gross black.” Sure, that’s probably just a machine translation snafu but who are we to argue with the lingual powers of the almighty Google? Oh, and as long as you’re here, you might like to know that Sigma calls Rotino the “world’s smallest” laser mouse with retractable USB cable. Measuring in at 40-grams / 30 x 70 x 20-mm the Rotino brings an adjustable sensitivity of 1000dpi for normal office-type use or a lightning-quick 2,000dpi for you gamers with an especially sensitive trigger finger. At just Â¥2,980 or about $25, can you really afford not to have this in your laptop bag? Also available in French blue or Italian lead-lead (aka, red) if you’re feeling euro-funky.

Similar to the Sony VN-CX1, the ASG-142 is an 800dpi optical mouse that doubles as a VoIP/Skype phone. It features a 1.3-inch LCD display, built-in microphone/speaker, and USB connectivity. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.
Displays Skype contact lists and their status. Separate sound chip to enhance Softphone VoIP call quality. Dot matrix caller-ID and volume control IM. Auto detection between mouse and phone. Supports hands-free speaker phone

Yes, this rather plain looking keyboard costs a whopping $1,200. Why? It features a stainless steel design and removable trackball. Aside from that, you’re better off just buying a new computer or 30-inch LCD. Order here.
Well, let’s see… the trackball is removable for easy cleaning. That’s gotta be worth something, right? And did I mention it’s stainless steel? That’s really all I can see as for features. It’s nice looking, I guess. Go ahead moneybags, you know you want it

Here at Engadget, we love to bring you news about one of our favorite low-tech gadgets — the key. No, not key as in keyboard, but rather as in, “Dude, where’s my (bump) keys?” or more accurately, “Holy crap, I just dropped my keys into the ocean.” Fear not, because for the low price of $7 you can now buy a new keychain fob that promises to save your keychain from maritime disaster. When your keys hit the water, the Davis Key Buoy will open up and inflate a 14-inch long bright orange cylinder for easy spotting within 30 seconds and will hold them there for up to 40 minutes. Of course, if you carry a warden-sized set of keys with you then this won’t work, as it only supports up to 4.2 oz (120 g) of weight. Now if some company could team up with Davis to make an inexpensive waterproof 2GB flash drive that would inflate to the surface in the event of a water landing, then they’d have a product we’d surely buy.
After the weirdo busty mousepads, here is the rear-view to complete the nasty picture with this Ba-Donka-Donk Mouse. The mouse is designed for men who are more impressed with rear-view then the front-view. The mouse features a warm-to-the-touch casing and a handy scroll function. So, if you are completely bowled over JLo’s curvy butt then stop dreaming guys, and content yourself with this fake, curvy rear!
