Are you raising the next Bill Gates? If you think you might have a genius programmer in your progeny, why not get them used to the world of PCs early with Elecom's Reed Kana Mouse, designed for kids? With multiple colors and a design that makes the mouse look kind of like Sonic the Hedgehog, the mini optical mouse should appeal to youngsters even if whatever's going on onscreen isn't holding their attention. Its rugged exterior is also sized to fit in a child's hand. Once your little guy's clicking away, you can pick up a kiddie BlackBerry and a l'il iPod and your future tech titan is set. The mouse, available only in Japan at this point, costs $20, and even if you can't afford a computer to go with it, your kids will probably have more fun if you just give them a multicolored pile of mice anyway. — Peter Pachal
