Going in extreme contrast to the newest Swiftpoint mice from Simtrix, you’d imagine the Jupiter mouse (pictured above) to be something you’d find in your local stationery shop, down the paperweights section. But believe it or not, the Jupiter mouse is not just a concept, but a new kind of mouse that really works as a navigation device for your computer. It got its name from the obvious resemblance to the Big Red Planet, not to mention the presence of that big swirl smack in the middle of it, looking just like the big storms on Jupiter (the planet) itself. How does it work? Crazy like no other, if you ask me. Actually, to scroll right, you just tilt it towards that direction. Ditto for trying to scroll left, up or down, I suppose. The tilt sensors also work to regulate the speeds at which the cursor scrolls, depending on the user’s commands, of course. Currently, it’s available in Japan for only ¥ 13 980 (or around $135 US), but you have to wonder, who’d want those? Maybe a techie environmentalist with an interest in astronomy? Well?
