Floating mouse will, like, totally blow your mind

hover mouse

We've covered some pretty gimmicky gaming mice before, but none of them come close the the awesomeness of this (also gimmicky) hover mouse. Actually hovering above your mouse pad, the hover mouse certainly stands out from all other mice, no matter how many LED lights get stuck into them. It uses electromagnetic hovering technology to do its thing, and it still has a respectable 6,000-dpi accuracy. Bring it to your next LAN party for that extra level of intimidation while you're setting your rig up. The only thing I would worry about is what happens when your hand isn't on the mouse. Does it stay still, or does it float around like an air hockey puck? I mean, in addition to floating around it's also wireless, so what's to stop it from floating its way right off your desk? These are questions you can answer by plunking down $75 and testing it out. Let me know, friends.

People see this as a joke (atleast the company does, cause this product is not real...)

I do not understand why something like this would be so difficult to make... The 6000dpi kinda gave it away... but meh...

I wish something like this did exist...

yeah i agree this would be cool and probably not that hard to pull off ... i would expect something air driven before electromagnetics .. but i wouldn't pay 75 bills for it hehe
